Cis people sometimes demand #trans people rigourously define what "gender" means and explain what drives us to embody a gender other than the one assigned to us at birth. If we can't do that, they say, how can they believe us?

But trans people shouldn't have to be philosophers and psychologists all wrapped up into one to have our experiences believed. 1/
