And this was in 2009, I had never heard of a trans person let alone non-binary people.

Yeah ive been masc since i was little and was taken for a boy almost as often as i was taken for a girl. I had to deal with genital inspections for sports and that was fucking horrific. It makes me sick that people would rather traumatize and alienate all gnc girls over have even one trans girl feel included

“Kids don’t know anything about life” but this was my diary entry at 12 years old

i was basically forced into a tomboy/masc way of living as a child bc i was a tall black girl with short hair and big ass feet (size 9 in womens at 9 years old) and like at the time i didnt mind bc i didnt think abt gender like that but now its so hard to try to be feminine for me and i think i identify as gnc but i just wish ppl didnt push gender so much on children esp ones who dont fit the binary like why is it so hard to accept children for who they are

yeah nah transphobes don't actually believe it, or anything, their entire belief is "trans people bad" and anything else is whatever conveniently allows them to keep justifying it this week. They're too stupid to understand anything.

THIS!!! I’ve known I wasn’t bound to one sexuality the moment I knew what attraction was, I actually definitely found girls & women attractive before I batted an eye at boys, I hated boys they were gross to me. Again- I was probably under 10, had no idea what I was feeling was attraction since I thought it could only be boy-girl. I just call myself queer and sometimes pansexual because 🤷‍♀️ I like who I like and “gender” doesn’t matter to me , & never has, clearly.

I’ve known I was trans since my very earliest memories as a kid. I may not have had the vocabulary to express it, but I knew very deeply. Yet I never felt safe enough to come out and be me until my early 20s. Puberty was a living hell for me. I remember the first week of it— I was in such distress that I didn’t eat or sleep for an entire week. I hurt myself for years after then. And then I stopped giving a fuck and let me be myself.

Ugh stop making cultural stereotypes about men and women the same as biological sex. Have you never seen cultural expectations before? Screw cultural stereotypes

Okay so just genuine question, wouldn’t this warrant wanting to change stereotypes for women and girls? You’re still a girl, but you can dress and act however you want. Why do you want everyone to call you a guy? I’m being genuine.
