There are 278 babies born every minute. 2-14 of them are trans, depending on various estimates. Every day, it is likely that someone is born who will one day grow up to have a gender unlike that of any living person, even if they are never exposed to the right culture and information to find this gender within themself.

    to have a gender unlike that of any living person

    While that’s not impossible, I don’t know that it’s “likely”.

    It was the late 80s

    I was graduating college in a liberal town

    My conservative younger brother came up, met him in the student union, crowded happening place. “10% society” posters on the walls. He looked concerned: “is it true 10% of the people here are … gay?”

    “Bro… 10% … of all… mammals… are, so to speak, ‘gay’”
