You are your own best metric

When I read comments on videos that deal with gender issues, a healthy amount of them are steeped in angst about self-classification. This is because people are either looking for validation that they are legitimate or for confirmation that there is indeed something wrong with them.

The best metric continues to be your personal sense of well-being and mental health. When that increases, you know you are on the right path.

We need to remember that the world is full of insecure people looking to tear others down so looking for outside answers for complex human issues is often a complete waste of time. People who know very little but think they know as lot, make up a healthy proportion of the population.

Plus the world is chock full of agendas.
