As a 16-year-old baby Queer who didn’t fit in, I’d have been sorely tempted, but as I got older, the impulse would fade. Sitting where I am now, a 59-year-old #Queer who is sure of who I am and where I fit in the world, the magic button to normalcy seems almost cliché.

At the beginning of my transition, I was constantly misgendered, and my dysphoria was debilitating. If you had asked me then, I would have immediately and unequivocally said, yes, I will push that button, whatever the consequences.

For all those fears and concerns that other trans people have, I simply do not have them. So, without question, I am smashing that magic queer/trans button to make me a cisgender woman!

What did the ad headline say? ‘I found the new, new me with QMB’, showing a beautiful woman striding confidently into some kind of magical future. That was the promise, push the button and one’s gender dysphoria disappeared. You walk in the door in an unwanted form, and out the door a real woman.

If you could push a button to swap sexes, would you? What if it were permanent not impermanent? What if pressing the button meant everyone has always known me as a girl, so there’s no sacrifice or stigma?
