How it shows up

How gender variance shows up in the life of each person and the amount of choice exercised is extremely varied. It is why at this stage I find categorizing almost completely pointless. I keep thinking of this issue in terms of just another piece of what is the human mosaic.

You have some people with very early childhood memories, others who raided their mother's laundry hamper at 13, while others decide to start wearing their wife's underwear at 40. The impetus for each of those scenarios can be unique with the presence or complete absence of gender dysphoria being yet another wildcard.

Some adopt some form of transition while for others it would be the furthest thought from their mind and completely unnecessary.

Hence I go back to the root question of what makes you happy and does not perturb your life in any way. What actions do we need to take to encourage wellness and balance and how does gender variance in any way either impede or uphold that harmony.
