yes because i have changed my sex characteristics and plan to continue to. it’s complicated socially but i find it accurate and honest to acknowledge the ways i have physically changed my body, which affects the way i have to navigate the world (which others, regardless of if they are transgender or cisgender) may not experience if they have not done so or want to do so.

I don’t really like the term. I’ve heard some arguments about “changing sex” or whatever but that just feels kinda transmed to me
