"The category of "trans" isn't one I ever inherently wanted or asked for, nor did I choose that word to describe the category."

Interesting--and I mean that in all seriousness.

I mean, I know you didn't choose it personally, but it makes sense that it's not something you asked for or wanted.

We have that in common.

Also, I TRULY appreciate the intelligent and respectful response. I try to match the energy (and respect) from people who comment--if I respond at all.
