Perhaps I should embrace the term “transexual” after all, because me in an isolated bubble with testosterone running through my brain and body is happy, while me in an isolated bubble with estrogen/progesterone running through my brain and body is a dissociated shell of a human. It has nothing to do with social norms.

In all seriousness, though, I think we should combine your ideas with an understanding of folks like myself as well, where being transgender runs so much deeper than what you describe here. I enjoyed your piece!
