What choice do we have?

Listening to the philosopher Zizek lately has me going back to my favorite topic of choice. If we can agree that the transgender condition contains elements of genetic predisposition then we have eliminated one important element of choice. What remains, if you discover you are truly trans, is what to do about your situation.

I know enough about this topic to safely state that choice varies significantly between gender variant individuals. The hard part is honestly assessing where you stand on that metric and how you intend to live with your variance going forward.

Once you have assessed via introspection where you stand there may be a gap between others' understanding of who they think you are versus who you know you are. You can then either become a supplicant to their narrative or have them understand that what they may deem to be a choice is not; assuming of course that this is a worthwhile investment for in many cases there is unfortunately no meeting of the minds.

The self-discovery process and subsequent response can be as long as you need it to be.
