Is it right to question why someone is trans? Or that gender is a social construction rooted in oppression? Coming out as a gender other than the one you were assigned at birth is a weird experience, partly because you have to overcome what society views as normative gender and partly because as you soon as you start to break gender down the line between cis and trans becomes vague and arbitrary. We are trans because they say we are trans, and we are not accepted as normative because we have been corralled into defining anything other than assigned gender at birth as other.
