I feel [[trans]]. I feel I'm a dyke, I'm a lesbian. I feel like a fag sometimes. It’s very mobile, and they really seems to hold that. And I also really love that I’m in my sixties, and of course certain people [[transition]] at all points in their life, but I don’t know anybody my age who’s changed their pronouns. I feel really happy that I can claim that, that I can do that. It feels like a mark I’m delighted to hold, and say ''Fuck you, if you don’t like it.''}}
