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

Love your response.  I myself have toyed with the idea that I have always been a girl, and now a woman.  Choosing to come out is a complicated social calculus as we know the world in which we live is not very forgiving. And such a decision often comes with inevitable loss. And danger.  For me, coming from another often maligned group and understanding those challenges,  I would choose to speak out when necessary to educate and fight discrimination.  Kudos to those who do.
