i seriously don't understand the 'being trans is like dying and becoming a new person' thing from either the cool goth transgender side or the sad cis parent/spouse side.
#idk i came out at 11 maybe i just didn't have much of a past self to kill#i guess maybe it's more relatable if you came out older bc you had a stronger sense of self#but personally I don't get it at all and i feel like I've been the same person the whole time#I just only started caring about my gender when I hit puberty bc it made it into An Issue#don't feel like a particularly different person from HRT or anything either bc it happens so gradually#idk it just feels like me. and i still felt like myself before it just made me unhappy#I guess it helps that even tho my parents didn't handle me transitioning suuuper well#They also didn't have a super strong set of gendered expectations for me to be devastated by me not fulfilling#I mean I was in Girl Scouts and I grew up in highly gendered Orthodox Jewish spaces a lot. That's about it
