But you know, I still bristle a bit when people are dismissive of "always knew" and "born in the wrong body" when that's literally how I felt as a child.

It's not just a metaphor we created to explain ourselves simply to cis people. It's a bone deep feeling and something we created to explain ourselves to ourselves in this seemingly impossible situation.

And I worry that some people trying to defend their experiences are undermining the conversation around these kids who need help.
