I kind of agree. I spent a lot of my tween/teen years in the early to mid 90s in tears that I wasn't a boy, and if I had really known MTF trans was a thing and wasn't a coward I probably would have looked into it.

But I'm not sure if it's BECAUSE I didn't have that avenue or what, but at some point I realized it wasn't so much that I wished I were a boy with a penis but that society was OK with me being the kind of girl that I am/was.

Because that's just it. I'm a girl, who's a certain way and who maybe doesn't fit in with a lot of other girls, and that's okay. It doesn't mean I don't have a gender. It doesn't mean I'm one gender this day and another the next day. I'm just a girl who is me, and anybody who has a problem with it can fuck off. And I kind of feel like there are people who don't want to deal with that emotional struggle so instead they faff around with new terms that just confuse cis people and make things harder for the rest of us (and themselves).

Not everyone is you, though. Can you not imagine that someone went through what you did, but got to the end with a different realization and really was genderqueer?

No. I can imagine somebody went through what I did, got to the end and realized they were trans. And I can imagine somebody choosing to, instead of going though what I went through and coming to a conclusion, short-cutting to a made-up label that means nothing.

What would you call someone in the state that the made-up label indicates, that never reaches an end, then?

Absent anything real on gender, I let sex be the guide.

That's pretty transphobic.

Well, as I have yet to learn how to peer inside someone's head, it's all I have to go by.

You can. It's called asking.

This is exactly what I went through in the late 90s-early 2000s.
