I wasn’t born wrong.
Someone wrote…
I wish people would understand that while I might have some gender-related grief at times, there’s nothing wrong with my gender. I wasn’t born wrong, and I’m not unhappy with who I am. I just wish people saw me like I see myself.
What’s your experience?

Amen! We totally know what you mean. It may be that way for some people, but not for us.

This so much reminds me of Deaf culture – “As a deaf person, hearing people think I’m broken. I am not broken. I am just different. I don’t want to be fixed, because I am me and I don’t want you to change me to make yourself feel better.” I have heard preachers talk about what gay and transgender people are “missing” in some of the same terms hearies talk about what deaf people are missing.
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were all the same?” asks the conventionalist. “Hell, no! It would be terminally boring!” I reply.
