    At the end of the day the only definition of gender that matters is the one that makes you happy.
    I would 100% agree with you… but the problem is that we can no longer discus “sex” without having to detangle it from gender.


    I also get a lot of gatekeeping from friends who say that because I currently think of myself as a man, I will always be a man, no matter what I do to transition, which is a weird ideological horseshoe that starts to sound a lot like transphobic people telling me that Because I was born with a Y chromosome I will always be a man no matter what I do to transition.
