      I found this very hard to write. I remember very well reading the same sort of essays, usually by gay men, when I was growing up in the 1990s. https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/10/transgender-memo-ideology-condition-choice.html …

      The LGBTQ community has moved on from this sort of argument for a good reason. It's demeaning to have to say you wish you weren't who you are.

      But I've been feeling like cis people really need this sort of thing. They want to hear us say how hard it is being different and how desperately we wish we were like them. And, the stakes are high. So, here you go, cis folks. If you need this, I wrote it for you.

      Why do you identify as trans, though? If you were always a man, even in a woman’s body, why not just identify as a man? Why have qualifiers, like trans and cis? What purpose do they serve, except to create a separation?

      I'm not sure I understand your question. I don't identify as trans, I am trans. Trans is just the word we use for talking about people with my medical condition and type of experiences.

      I’m not sure why there’s a difference, I guess. It seems to me that you are a man. You were born a man. You had surgery to correct your body to conform to your mind. Why is there a x-man qualifier? Is it important to have the qualifier?

      As a medical matter, it's important bc I need hormones to maintain a male appearance. Socially, it's important if I'm denied housing or a job when someone finds out about my history. Politically, it's important bc some people want to force me by law to live as a woman.

          What you're saying is how I want it to be. But many people think I'm a freak and treat me that way and the government is actively trying to make it even worse. The gov wants me to have an "F" on my passport and license forever, so I can never escape from people knowing my past.

          I certainly agree with you there. The government should not be policing people’s bodies. I’m just trying to understand the relevance of the nomenclature. As to bathrooms, I’m all for people just using what they’re comfortable with. I realize it’s harder if you don’t look ‘right’.
