Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line and had no way of knowing how near the harbor was.-Helen Keller on life before language
There are many words to help us think and talk about gender, identity, and expression. Maybe you feel some words describe you well. Maybe nothing quite fits. Either way, having words can make a huge difference to the way we think. How has language been helpful to you? How has it been problematic?
