<blockquote>
<p>So were you?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Was I what?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Fucked. Were you fucked?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I think that&rsquo;s still to-be-determined.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You don&rsquo;t seem fucked. I mean, life is harder now, I suppose. You&rsquo;ve got to contend with a minority identity you never particularly wanted.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There&rsquo;s no denying that. I don&rsquo;t quite like that this is what I&rsquo;m stuck with, but I do alright with it. I try to keep going as best I can, and I try to help others as much as I can along the way. Robin likes to call me a &ldquo;trans psychopomp&rdquo;, but I suspect that&rsquo;s due in part to the word &lsquo;psychopomp&rsquo; is really fun to say. I would say that she falls under that title as well.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Do you see yourself as one? Do you see yourself as someone who guides others?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not particularly. I feel like I&rsquo;m doing everything by accident. I feel like I&rsquo;m accidentally visibly trans. Like I can&rsquo;t help but be visibly trans, like that&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;ve got to work with. That that helps others long the way is still something of a mystery. A pleasant one, but a mystery.</p>
<p>Still, the least I could do is not hurt, might as well put in the effort to be a help.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Do you think that others see you as a resource?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Perhaps, though that has me worried. That&rsquo;s an awful lot of responsibility.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Permit me to take a tangent.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Do I have a choice?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You always have a choice.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If I say no, what will happen?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Nothing.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>You&rsquo;ll let me just carry on with what I was saying?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Sure.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Do you have the power to stop me?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>No, but do you?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Ah.</p>
