I transitioned in my late 30s, after writing professionally about LGBT issues. So yeah, I thought about whether it was internalized sexism.

In my 20s I spent years in eating disorder treatment, so yeah, I thought about whether it was just normal female body insecurity.

I've done so much yoga and body positivity exercises, none of which ever helped, that I'd cheerfully burn all yoga studios to the ground.

My most known essay was a celebration of my butch lesbianness, so yeah, I've thought about what would happen if I was wrong a second time.

I take responsibility for my choice to start hormones, change my name, use new pronouns. I won't blame docs or therapists if I get it wrong.

But ofc I also didn't start hormones as a 19 year old with no life experience. People don't know what they don't know until they know it.
