Reply To: Are you “Transgender” or “Woman” (or “Man”)?

[Stefanya Poesy]

For me it’s not about “passing” per se, I’m not looking to fool or “trap” anyone.

I am a woman, want to be seen as a woman, I make every effort to portray that reality; and, because of my past and how my body has betrayed me, there are things about me that, in the eyes of others, deny that reality.

I’m also proud to be trans, and I don’t care who knows it. That doesn’t change how I wish to present and be perceived.

I want to change the rules and assumptions.
