   Sometimes it cracks me up that the world put so much effort into trying to prevent me from being trans. What a waste, what a failure.

     @DelphineUnseen Ask any later-in-life trans person about the time before modern trans discourse; most will happily tell you the 90s and 00s were a period when culture defaulted to preventing most trans people from being so, and we still ended up there. Like, we didn't have "non-binary" in 2004 when I first tried to come out, so I just declared myself "androgynous".

     @DelphineUnseen You and me both, and I even held off with identifying as non-binary for years because I was afraid it'd fizzle out like the "zie/zir" pronouns from the 90s. I'm glad you made it through, though it's a damn shame we both had to wait.

     @roadriverrail I was so lacking in vocabulary for literally decades, no frame of reference to figure out what was going on with me. But I got there in the end!
