I can only say thank you. Thank you a thousand times. Thank you for telling me your story with so many of your thoughts.

I recognized myself in many. I grew up in a homophobic and transphobic family but with the most open-minded mom. She is wonderful! She always talked to me about queer people (without details since she doesn't experience it), and I always accepted them. I was also a kid who loved princesses and glitter makeup (two things that can work really well for all genders). I always knew I loved all genres. But I verbalized it at 11 years old.

Last year I met my best friends. A cis lesbian woman, and a trans man. I specify because it was (and it is) my first queer friends irl.

I felt bad about me and didn't take care of myself. One day, I thought I liked a boy. But the way I spoke about him was weird, I was jealous. I told my friends about it and they laughed kindly, thinking nothing of it. But it stuck in my mind. I was jealous of how society perceived him.

Without transition, I told my friends about non-binary and they asked me what pronoun to use. I said they. My friend said I would look so good with short hair, and I felt alive again. I am still perceived as a woman by society, but I know deep down that it no longer suits me, and that feels so good !

I'm me.

I'm going to make an appointment with the hairdresser, and try new clothes. I'll customize a video game character, read a trans book, and use makeup to give me facial hair.

Thank you again. I need it.

How did you know you are trans, what pronoun do you use, or how do you want to be perceived by society ?

I've been asking myself questions for months. And today I finally told my friends about it. They support me no matter what I am. But I don't want to find out alone ! Am I trans, non-binary or my birth gender ?

I want to cut my hair and throw out all the dresses in my closet. But I'm afraid I'll regret it. Or I'm afraid I'll like it ?

Please tell me your stories !!
