The Trans Narrative

And why it doesn’t really exist.

“Growing up I loved playing with dolls and nail polish. I never really like football or playing rough.”

Does this sound familiar? It’s a trope at this point, a faded stereotype of what being a trans woman actually is. It is an antiquated version of what people have been told about what being trans means. It’s easy enough for some to assume that you were born in the wrong body and you’ve known all your life. It’s not that simple though.
