Sarah B's Story

[Sarah B ✅]

Hi Dances With Trees

You mentioned:

Thanks, Sarah. Your words reawakened the yearning in me to just be female. No drama or special lexicon required to define me. I still identify most closely with Lori's word from that, in my case, essential lexicon: transfeminine.

Living my life as Sarah from when I changed my life around, there was virtually no information in regards to us.  So the only choice at the time was just male and female.  Even if there were other choices I would still pick female.

I guess I look at the issue of labels like this.  I like looking for short cuts, simplifying things and making ones life easy.  For example long ago, there was the choice of picking a title to be associated with my name, Miss, Ms and Mrs.  Well, I could not be Miss as I was not a young girl and it was not going to be Mrs.  So Ms was going to be the title used in front of my name.

However, Miss and Mrs are two and one character longer respectively. more than Ms, so less writing to be more precise.  So one can look at the lexicon of words that involve the prefix "trans", in front of other words for instance transfeminine, transmasculine, transman and transwoman.  It becomes more easier and simpler to say feminine, masculine, man and woman.  As I have said, I like simplifying things, or as Spock would have said "That's logical, Jim".

Thank you for reading what I wrote and as they say everybody's journey is different and I'm sure you will eventually get to where you are going.  (Now I think I have said that somewhere before?)

Best Wishes Always
