Yet it's hard for me to reconcile the reality of my lived experience where people tend to assume I'm a cis woman and by proxy, heterosexual. I've lived most of my life entrenched comfortably in a very heteronormative life, despite my transness; so it's hard for me to feel like "queer" is a truthful term for m...
