Imagine walking through the world knowing that everyonersquos first assumptions about how you see yourself who you love and what feels right for you are completely wrong Now imagine signing up for a cool website and then being required to select an option from a drop-down menu that doesnrsquot include anything that represents you

Yoursquoll feel defeated Yoursquoll want to argue that whatever they think theyrsquore learning from that drop-down menu itrsquos not really true Yoursquoll want to tell them that theyrsquore adding to your humiliation by making you do this Yoursquoll want to tell them that theyrsquore missing a huge part of youhellip
