		<description>I have no idea why Mike retransitioned himself, and I&#039;m not even going to presume to guess.

I agree a lot with what you say (although I have a hard time imagining sexism putting a trans woman off transitioning, but that&#039;s more about me than them, so).

This paragraph, especially, is important:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I hope one lesson people would learn from this is that &lt;b&gt;it’s OK to experiment with your gender; that it’s OK to be uncertain about your gender; that being convinced you aren’t gender A, doesn’t inherently mean the only alternative is to become gender B.&lt;/b&gt; Because sadly, even within the trans communities, there’s not always a lot of space between.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;ve been holding off on posting about him because I&#039;ve had other things on my mind, though.

Anyway, yeah, there&#039;s a lot of frustrating dogma in the trans community about who&#039;s trans enough and what you&#039;re supposed to do to prove it.</description>
