More to the point, this loaded language sidesteps cognitive dissonance by shutting down debate.

I was born in 1962. The word needed to describe who I am, "transgender", was not available until I was about 30 years old. I need to be more patient with myself as I continue to become more essentially me. After all, I was half my current age before I had the vocabulary available to think coherently about my identity. I'm actually rather impressed at how well I've made up for lost time. 🙂🏳️⚧️
