I battled with a lot of the same challenges, but ultimately, I am much more like the men in my life and much less like the women in my life.<p>At a certain point, every gendered action, from saying my name (very female) to walking into the women&#x27;s bathroom honestly felt like lying!  So I transitioned.<p>I&#x27;ve been so at peace with myself since transitioning!  Ironically, I&#x27;ve also been able to be a more effective advocate for all genders because now I&#x27;m in the &quot;boys club&quot;.  By that I mean, pointing out when someone is treating men or women differently just because of gender, but also helping highlight when someone is expecting different treatment just because of their own gender.<p>I&#x27;m both happier about myself and a more effective advocate for treating everyone equally!
