We spend a lot of time fighting the "choice" meme.

Which is understandable, given the fact that who we're attracted to and who we identify as are not things that we can switch on or off like a light.  The idea that everything we are boils down to a whimsical choice get's bandied around flippantly and turned into the club used to try to bash us back into hiding.

But today, I'm owning my choice.

Which is a little scary, because giving any quarter at all to those who hate us always gets exploited and twisted.  Any admission of possibly choosing to be trans gets distorted beyond recognition.
