BioBy an accident of birth, I am transgendered / intersexed. For all normal intents and purposes, this means I have no category.
I've been pushed into the "Male" box before... Crammed and trimmed and mashed into place to fit as best as they could make me.
But I'm not a boy.
I've put myself in the "Female" box... Because it's closer to the truth than the other choice, because it's more comfortable, more real.
But I'm not a girl.
If there's a more uncomfortable sensation than not being able to cleanly answer the first question anyone ever asks about a person, I don't know what it might be. I've been told people like myself make up the most successful suicide statistic group in humanity. I don't doubt it for one second. Death has seemed like a very valid option to me for over thirty years. When someone who's yet to see much of elementary school thinks dying might be a good way to handle her problems, something is very wrong.
So I fight. I fight to build, out of the mistaken, twisted wreckage of my body, the most perfect woman I can. I'll fight every day of the rest of my life to try for what most people never even think to take for granted. To be normal enough to not be noticed.
