I gather from your description that there was little anxiety about using the men's room. When you say "because it was the right space for me," I have a glimmer of a notion about what you mean, thanks to your blog entries up to now. However, in this context, I find it difficult to deeply comprehend what it means. I think I would have to interrogate you for a while before I really understood. :)
I've certainly questioned my identity (and that of others), but I haven't undergone such an upheaval that you have. Of course, I say "upheaval" because it's amazing and large to me. You have said yourself that it's more of a transition to finding your natural self-identity. And you speak about it matter-of-factly; however, I wonder what kind of emotional ride it's been. I would sometimes say "I can only imagine" at this point, but, really, I can't imagine.
