The category isssss trans superpowers! And today, I present to you (yet another) hyper-charged ability that many trans people possess. The power to know exactly who you are. Well, at least more so than most people. Sure, if you get down to it, none of us know who we are or where we come from. We can’t say what caused the big bang or explain most of what makes up our DNA. But, being who we are, with the wonder gift that is the transgender experience—we can say we are not what society told us to be. And every moment of our lives—every decision we make began with a simple choice: to be our authentic selves.
We live on a foundation of personal honestly. This is a huge advantage.
There are many people in the world who will ever look inward long enough to consider who they are. Millions of people walk among us who’s identities were given to them by someone else. Their clothes, mannerism, language, even the people they have sex with—all decided for them at birth. Trans people are the few cyborgs from the factory who learned how to think on their own. The rest mindlessly bumble around, asking who they should be. It’s a scary realization.
Now, let us fly off into the clouds, proudly exclaiming who we are. Faster than a speeding train, higher than the current limits of personal expression. And maybe one day, everyone else will gain this superpower too.
