I appreciate the point that Heart is making here. But I also appreciate much of the discussion here because it reminds me that I choose to reside in this community that lets me come here and say:

I am not a short man with boobs.
I am not a woman in any sense of the word. I don't care what my chromosomes say about it either.
I do not, at all, embrace my breasts or my other parts that do not match me. Nor do I celebrate them.
I am butch, male-identified to my very core.
I am trans, even though I don't take T and have had very little surgery.
I own who I am. No one tells me who I am.
I define me. I live in this body. I make no excuses. I never apologize for who I am.

This, to me, is the very core of this community...the right to self-i.d. I think that Cynthia Nixon -- always my least favorite SATC character, btw -- is doing what she does best. She is assigning a role to her significant other because as an actress, that is perhaps how she sees her world. Do they, as individuals or as a couple, have a place in this community? Sure, if they want to be a part of it. If they choose not to, then that's ok too. I hope it works out for them, really. It's always nice to see couples...no matter how they i.d. or how they view each other in the world...work and do well.

Just my thoughts.
