gay voices of /prog/

When I first realized I might be transgender, I was in denial. I didn't want surgery, so it was like, "Well, what the hell do I want, then?" I thought being trans meant you could be either FTM (female-to-male) or MTF (male-to-female). I thought surgery was necessary, and going on hormones was necessary, and oh my god I'd have to change my name, and I'd have to stop being at all feminine and and and and -- !!

But, well, I didn't have to do any of that.

The word "bigender" entered my vocabulary after transgender did.

Then "genderqueer."

Then "nonbinary."

And--

Ah, I thought. There it is.

There it is.

You forgot "macbook" and "i-phone". They're an essential part of every LGBT person's life.
