Figuring out your own gender identity is hard work, requiring large amounts of self-awareness and vulnerability. Your gender isn’t just a label: It’s a matter of how your inner conception of yourself meets everyone else’s perceptions. For anyone, of any age, this can feel like riding a unicycle across a muddy field while bystanders shout unhelpful advice.
