{{quote|[...] when I was a kid there were no words to describe certain aspects of my own experience. I’ve been [[non-binary]], [[cross-dressing]], ‘[[gender queer]]’ since I was 10 years old, but the available terms for what I was doing and how I felt were few and far between. We had ‘[[transsexual]]’ and ‘[[transvestite]]’ both of which sounded like DSM classifications rather than lifestyle choices! I didn’t want to be labelled as medical aberration because that’s not how it felt, nor was it something cut-and-dried and done. I didn’t want to ‘[[transition]]’ or embody my ‘female’ side exclusively, so I had no idea where I fit in. | {{quote|[...] when I was a kid there were no words to describe certain aspects of my own experience.

Terms like ‘genderqueer’ and ‘non-binary’ only came into vogue in the mid-90s. So kids like me had very limited ways of describing our attraction to [[drag]] and sexual ambiguity. Nowadays there’s this whole new vocabulary, allowing kids to figure out exactly where they sit on the ‘color wheel’ of gender and sexuality, so I think it’s OK to lose a few contentious words when you are creating new ones that offer a more finely-grained approach to experience.<ref name="mondo">{{Cite web |title=Grant Morrison Surveys the Situation In “The Age of Horus” - Mondo 2000 |author= |work=Mondo 2000 |date=6 October 2020 |access-date=2 November 2020 |url= https://www.mondo2000.com/2020/10/26/grant-morrison-surveys-the-situation-in-the-age-of-horus/}}</ref>}} | Terms like ‘genderqueer’ and ‘non-binary’ only came into vogue in the mid-90s.
