  1. No
  2. I was raised by conservative Baptist parents. I can’t remember exactly when I stopped believing it, but I did and I felt bad about it and that I was disappointing them.
  3. I do sometimes wonder if being raised in a conservative and religious environment that made me feel wrong contributed to my cross-sex identification, but there isn’t any way to know and even if it did, I’m still me and I can’t make myself someone else.
  4. To me, they don’t really feel similar, but I understand some similarities when people describe them. I feel like to can seem similar to religion if the focus is believing that everyone has a gender identity that no one can see. Subjective identities shouldn’t matter to other people and the whole push to treat people based on them is really strange. I don’t feel like identities are the important part though so my beliefs aren’t similar to religious ones I don’t think. I think more about existing in the world and feel like it’s wrong demand anything from anyone based on an identity that they may not believe in or care about.
