Love this, and have shared it with my fervently non-binary offspring determined to live without an ID.

Yes — But I believe it should be an inner, self-directed journey as opposed to being driven by outside controlling influences.

This encompasses all “For in the end, you do not own your identity. You are your identity, ever-changing, ever-flowing, like the eternal Tao itself.”

That seems to be the problem these days. Outside influence instead of inner guidance.

Thank you! 🙌

And btw, I vote for Hexagram 24 to become our national motto for the next four years.
