Something didn't feel right for me anymore, and I couldn't put my finger on it. According to every resource I turned to -- whether it be Tyra Banks' interviews with trans* people, or reading resources by and for transgender individuals -- I was not binary enough in my gender to be transgender. I didn't know from the time I was born, never felt trapped in my body, and would never describe my identity as a trans* person as a "birth defect" like Chaz Bono describes his.

Ira Gray is TG not TS.
I'm not convinced that Chaz Bono is TS either.
But in USA a person can be what they want to be.

What's the point of being here if you're not re-inventing yourself.  You can be what and who you want to be.  What's the downside?

I would hope that you can be what you want to be anywhere, whether other people recognize it or not.
