Reading and Transness

I've been pondering, over the last few days, a post on Body Impolitic. I think the shape of my ponder has looked something like this:

• I read the post;
• I have a gut reaction that kinda looks like disappointment and annoyance;
• I force my brain to more fully engage and say, "Wait a minute. What are they actually saying?";
• I read and re-read the post, parsing it more and more denotatively; and
• I have a lengthy ponder about why the original reaction happened.
