“
Chaz’s experience with his body is not inherently wrong for not being the same as my experience. When advocates of our community teach about trans* folks as if we all take part in this singular narrative, however, we set up a dichotomy within our own community: those who are trans* enough for following this narrative and those who are not for being different.
— Ira Gray, in an essay for Huffington Post about “Transgender (Mis)Education, where he challenges the notion that we’re prescribed to one sole narrative arc that defines us all.

    Problematic trans* narrative is problematic. This is a very good idea, and it should be discussed way more often.
