This is one of the best articles on approaches to genderqueerness that I've read. It's also just one of the best pieces of writing that I've read, ever. The sentence that you included, "Just because they didn’t perpetuate my abject suffering, didn’t mean they weren’t worth acknowledging." - yes. So much yes to that. Whether related to genderqueerness or any other "issue" that a person might be going through. As someone who comes from a background of eating disorder and depression and a different sort of self-discovery and self-acceptance fight, the "take up space" motto is something I've had to come to terms with too.

Basically, holy moly, this whole piece is amazing and relevant and well-written and widely applicable and wonderful. Good going. Yes.
