exactly. I would like to be myself and not be an actor all the time. That was exhausting.
Emily Quinn is incredibly eloquent and insightful.
I have loved her Ted Talk for many years.
Those kinds of experiences are common among intersex, trans, and nonbinary people.

I am glad you enjoyed the article, and that you feel you no longer have to pretend to be someone you're not.

I really hope that society comes to accept and understand trans, nonbinary, and intersex people.
Much of my writing has been to advance social understanding of these topics.
While some progress has been made, we have an incredibly long way yet to go.
