Frankly, that’s why asexual people are included in pride as well. The amount of times people might say something is “broken” about them - or that they’re “damaged” - or they need to be “fixed” - asexual people take pride in saying there is nothing wrong with them, that they are normal and able to be loved as they are.
Same with other expressions of gender. That has nothing to do with sex, either. It’s another thing people assume is conflated with sex, mind you, which is illogical as anything.
In the end, none of this is anyone’s business. But people *make* it their business, visiting violence and the like against them. Even in your era, that was likely the case.
I’m glad at least I’ve been able to help shed some light into this. It’s certainly not for everyone. But even though it’s new to me … I’ll certainly celebrate that there’s nothing wrong with me nor my dearest friend either.
