I want to thank you specifically for:

it means that it's not just trans people who are doing the work of communicating about gender.

When people have been receptive to advising, I've occasionally attempted to get clarity of the utility, multiple times, because this feels to me like a combination of trying to center myself in the conversation and "misappropriating" a tool that other people need for important reasons. Unfortunately, the existing advice is just passive-aggressive "do it, unless you don't want to."

So, thanks very much for being open about the actual use of my involvement to the people who are actually affected.
