In the comic, I'm clarifying her tweet. What she actually said was 'I'd march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female.' Combined with all the rest, her meaning seems clear enough to me.

Maya Ming has a nice ring.
@mayascape Speaking of dating...I see the surname change...did something happen?

I though you might be amused...
