So we can sleep at night

The video I posted yesterday about the transgender woman who runs a dressing service was interesting because it illustrated how the combination of identity and expression runs the gamut in human beings. It also showed how each person seems to have a unique outlook on the topic as well as where they stand compared to others. 

Interestingly, Blaire White who is one the more divisive figures you could think of, was used as an example to strive for. You could see that the shop owner wasn't particularly versed in the subject matter but nevertheless held strong opinions some of which would ruffle the feathers of many.

People need personal narratives so they can explain their own motivations to themselves and in a subject matter so full of nuance it's not that difficult to do. 

We need an explanation so we can sleep soundly at night.
