This is a tough question that I struggled with for a long time. Well into my thirties, I always answered publicly that of course I would not take a pill to make myself straight, that I loved who I am and would never change it.

Privately, and sometimes only in very unguarded moments, I admitted to myself that if I had such pill to take, I would probably take it. Who wouldn't want to put down a burden of "abnormality" that adds a factor of struggle to life before even getting out of bed?

Eventually, I stopped trying to answer the question. If somebody asked, I would simply say that it's more important to understand that the question is flawed. Since such pills are not available, and can't be available, there isn't a point in answering — at least there isn't a point for me.

More important than answering that question is self-acceptance and working toward one's best life. That's what I told myself when I stopped answering, and it's what I believe now, again for me, unnecessarily for anyone else.
