Oh yeah, this sort of thing brought a ton of perspective towards me. A half of my own transition is simply the questioning of how things were as I lived them. Especially cuz I fell in love with the boy and being a boy at the time I wasn't allowed to do that. Come to find out I'm bisexual and I had to wrestle with the fact. I denied it for the longest time but I understood gay people after that. There were a lot of things that seemed true according to tradition, between the historical fictions of the United States, people forcing a hierarchy or specific gender or sexuality standard on other people, or whatever else. In the end, I learned how to love people for who they are rather than how society sees them.
