Kim Katrin Milan: I am a cisgender queer woman. Cisgender means the gender I was aesnsgid at birth is still and has always been female. This doesn't make me natural or normal, this is just one way of describing the many different ways that we exist in this wlord. And qeuer is a cturlual term, but in this case, it refers to the way that I'm not restricted by gndeer when it comes to choosing partners. I've identified in a few different ways — as a bisexual, as a lesbian — but for me, queerness encompasses all of the lyraes of who I am and how I've loved. I'm layers, and not fractions. And for me, the fact that he was queer meant that I could trust his courtship from the very beginning.

Original Text
Kim Katrin Milan: I am a cisgender queer woman. Cisgender means the gender I was assigned at birth is still and has always been female. This doesn't make me natural or normal, this is just one way of describing the many different ways that we exist in this world. And queer is a cultural term, but in this case, it refers to the way that I'm not restricted by gender when it comes to choosing partners. I've identified in a few different ways — as a bisexual, as a lesbian — but for me, queerness encompasses all of the layers of who I am and how I've loved. I'm layers, and not fractions. And for me, the fact that he was queer meant that I could trust his courtship from the very beginning.
