I read it as being a gay thing mainly, but it’s definitely inclusive of trans experiences as well

Yah this is more the sexuality side of it, but I think anyone who id’s as lgbtq+ can probably relate at least a little. I bet even asexual folks have felt relieved by not feeling guilty for not being attracted to people.

I took it as a “I’ve finally become comfortable with the thing about me that society beat me into internalizing as wrong, fuck yeah” moment.

I love recognizing these similarities in our experiences - solidarity amongst queers is good! Apes together strong 🦧🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💜
