"First, the obvious. Cynthia Nixon "knows" that her being gay is a choice in the same way that I "know" my being gay is an inborn trait. We just feel it. Of course, sheer introspection is not a sound epistemological method by any stretch — for either of us! — but in lieu of a credible and falsifiable explanation, it's all we have. So in this case, it's not even a situation of respectful disagreement, but personal truth: Nixon is not telling me that I chose to be gay, but that she did. I can't possibly know whether or not that is true because I do not inhabit Cynthia Nixon's body and mind."
