Identity is not a logic puzzle (poem)

Accidentally a poem on fedi today:

We've been mulling for a while about how to word this, but:

Identity is not a logic puzzle.
It's a story
or a poem.

There is no excluded middle
no law of noncontradiction
there are landmarks,
 memories,
  friendships,
resonant frequencies that sound in unison with selves
and victories won in the struggle for self-understanding.

They should be celebrated.
