"Queer" is a term I've always had a very complex relationship with. On one hand, I respect that as a transgender woman, I will always be seen by as outside of heterosexist norms by many. Yet it's hard for me to reconcile the reality of my lived experience where people tend to assume I'm a cis woman and by proxy, heterosexual. I've lived most of my life entrenched comfortably in a very heteronormative life, despite my transness; so it's hard for me to feel like "queer" is a truthful term for me, even as I attempt to form more community with queer people. In this episode, I share my personal feelings around how claiming queerness, for me, often feels like "stolen valor"; and how I reject the essentialized nature of always being seen as queer becaue of how I was designated at birth.
