Yes, I know about your journey. Sometimes it’s fun to try to find a reason why one is trans, but sometimes it can also be detrimental to one’s well-being.

I hope things are going better for you in everything.

Long time. As you know I’ve been on a long journey to try to find out why I am this way and I’ve found lots of reasons that it could be from but no definitive answer. In fact some of the reasons should still allow me to fit into society as a man and yet this desire still persists from the core of my being as if just to spite me. In fact the reasons left to ponder are purely vanity and that just can’t be.

There are a lot of people that, for one reason or another, really want to find a cause to this.

Sounds like a great world to me

I guess the first issue I have is that we even see it as a problem. How often do you think a “normal” man ever questions why he wears only pants, or a “normal” woman questions why she wears makeup? We are convinced that we are not “normal,” so we are compelled to try to identify the root cause. Interestingly, I imagine there really isn’t any one root cause. My guess is that there are as many different reasons as there are plotpoints on the gender spectrum.

For my money, I would like to be part of a world that doesn’t require us to define ourselves, or to root out the reason for our particular predilections so that they can be properly labeled and catalogued. I would like to live in a world that simply accepts and embraces the many forms of gender expression as a wonderful spectrum of human experience.

Would you like to create that world with me?

Peace,
Kate
