Which brings me to my conundrum. Is it wrong to identify with a label if there is no way of achieving it? Like if there is no surgical possibility of transitioning to the body that I want, am I still trans?

It’s absolutely not wrong. Labels aren’t about what you do with your body, it’s about how you feel.

As a nonbinary person, I officially give you permission to identify as nonbinary, trans, or both. 🤝 I like ‘nonbinary’ because it’s really broad and inclusive, and doesn’t have some of the connotations that the term ‘trans’ has (even though nb is under the trans umbrella) I think it would be very reasonable if you decide that it fits you.

Yeah I just skimmed the essay, and it’s pretty bad. There’s a lot of false claims, a lot of misunderstandings and misrepresentations, and a lot of thinly veiled transphobic phrases and remarks.

It just comes across as very dishonest to me. Although maybe she actually thinks she is being fair, thoughtful and caring, who knows.

It’s hard to say without knowing what sort of a friendship you have and what she’s like, but I think you should really consider telling her how you feel– about her, or at least how you feel in general.
