"I Yearn to Belong"
Why? Why are the best qualities (patience, kindness, empathy, etc) attributed to women? Why are men expected to be dumb, angry and emotionally stunted? "Bretheren, these things should not be."
If I want to be female, it's not thanks to a "trans identity". It's because I was raised by women. Because I strive to be, as Matthias of Redwall said, good, gentle and honest.
That's why I keep wishing for breasts. Why I'm more attached to my female characters. Hell, maybe it's why I made Lars and Layle cripples: because as a guy, I feel crippled.
But those traits don't belong to either gender. God gave them to us all. It's not a stretch to picture "Him" as a chakat: having the best traits of both sexes. The strength of a man, the empathy of a woman.
So yeah, the kat's outta the bag. I'd like to be a girl; I'd like even better to be accepted as a man.
