[quote=Anonymous]I hate this idea of "my authentic self" when in it coupled with essentialist statements about gender identity. "Deep inside, I have always felt that my authentic self is really [female/male]." I'm like: how the f*ck do you know what "females" or "males" "FEEL" like? I know what it feels like to be me. I have no idea what other people feel like, or what "men" feel like or "women" feel like. It's idiotic. If you feel like you would be happier if people addressed you by a different name or pronoun, or if you wore different clothes, or if you had surgery or hormone treatment, that is absolutely fine with me. Go for it. But don't claim you have some mystical insight into what it "really" feels like to be a man or a woman. [/quote]
