I really like your perspective, Erin!

It's not a fight, it's the balancing of parts involving multidimensional inputs. It is deeply personal and involves a deep rite of passage. We have to be able to try things out before we make irrevocable choices. There are so many factors flying around...like stability at home, a level of emotional intelligence that few young people have achieved in their teens. I do know a young person who is doing this now.... they are extremely intelligent, have a very supportive community and so far so good. I do have several friends who identify as the other gender but they don't want to alter their bodies. These people are so inspiring to me. They are not swayed by external gestures. Tthey are who they are. I guess time will tell...
