[My imaginary friend is GOD]

The atrocities committed by man against his kin know no bounds.

Tell me... is announcing one is Shia in a Pakistan Sunni mosque... healthy? Is announcing to homophobic peers and family that one is gay... healthy?

Information is not without harm.

If the gay community had taken that attitude in the 70s, than the gay rights movement never could have taken off. One of the most successful attempts at changing our culture was simply having everyone who was queer come out to the world. People suddenly knew that they personally knew at least one person who was gay, and that changed everything. Everyone was homophobic back then, but it was damned important that gay people come out anyway. If people don't do the same about their gender identity, the binary gender system of our culture will never change. Those of us who are aware of how fallacious and harmful the system is have a responsibility to take action to change that. You could do the same even if you are not transgender or genderqueer by listing yourself as cisgender or cis female.
