Before I contemplate engaging with this I feel like I need to understand whether or not you're going to ask me to debate my existence and life experience, because I'm not here for that.

So, here are my starting, ground truths:

1. I am a woman.

2. I have always experienced the world as a woman/girl, even when I wasn't seen as a woman/girl.

If you think either of these things is up for discussion or debate, please kindly move along, because there's nothing productive we can say to each other.
