Even when they [US government] tell you that you are free to choose your own identity, they still mandate what that identity must be. If you don’t choose what they want, they simply change it without consulting you. I thought the new census would change this but it’s still more of the same old, same old . . . They lied! They fooled us! When is everyone going to accept that I am not this or that, that I am both and have the right to be both? That I don’t choose one over the other when it is convenient? That I am who I am all the time. I am angry and frustrated by all of this. I feel so violated by our government’s insistence to dictate who or what we choose to be.
