It is an interesting piece (and I like the pictures, especially the box ones), but I feel this picture doesn't address the elephant in the room, which is people who desire to change their primary/secondary sex traits to be more like the opposite's with hormones/surgeries. We can change expectations around gender roles (masculine/feminine attributions to clothing/societal stuff), but I doubt it would erase all of the people wanting to transition their sex attributes. Perhaps trans-gender is the wrong word? Or perhaps it is being used to refer to #SexNotGender. Fascinating piece. Aella has said similar things about how she sees her 'gender'.
Thank you for another great piece. You present your perspectives with clarity and humor (and the graphics rock, too!) I long for that same world.
Thank you for your kind words!
