As I come out to more and more people, one comment I have heard a number of times now has to do with my decision.

This word, when applied to anything I might have to talk about when coming out, is always tricky for me.

"What, you mean the decision to be trans?  That's not a decision.  That's who I am."

"Do you mean the decision to live as myself?  That's not a decision. That's a necessity."
