We are so much more

"My gender is not something I perform; it is something I am." 

I think this is interesting, but I'm not sure what I think about it. 

I guess my question comes down to people who experience gender dysphoria, and especially those who choose to transition into a body that they are comfortable with. I don't know. I just don't know what to think of this. I haven't thought that there was anything wrong with that choice. But, could it be a side effect of saying that men are one way, and women another? Then, upon finding that humans aren't that simple, someone feels they need to switch? I don't like the way that sounds for that person. It just feels wrong. 

However, I also dislike the idea of dismissing it, because I feel that implies that gender is something more than a social definition.

I don't know. I just don't know.

I'd rather be crazy

Don't ask me why.

This culture built on dismissing serious concerns, a language that inherently puts more than half of us down based on physical characteristics, then more on the way the the privileged half doesn't identify with what we are supposed to.

I'm being over sensitive. I'm over reacting. I'm the one who's crazy.

Do you think caring about these things is silly? Am I being crazy? Am I over doing it to care if this many of us realize we are hurt, and numerous others hate themselves and don't even realize it, or where it comes from? Is that an over reaction?

(I know I've hated myself for who I am. I'm just now starting to grasp that.)

I'd rather be crazy, if dismissing people's well being is what you call sane.
