I got harassed by my friend’s RA literally just for being a man hanging out with my friend in her room on an all-woman floor (no rule for this btw and I should’ve reported it). afterwards I realized that the parts that upset me the most were the parts where she insulted my body and when she said she could “smell when men were on the floor,” and that made me realize that I was feeling dysphoria.

In highschool watched a philosophy tube video and felt absolutely seen in a way I hadn’t before and realized oh my egg cracked

my family was very open with gender expression (my mom is a drag performer lmao), so when I hit puberty I was actually pretty fine with it. what really kicked it off was my mom and other relatives going out of their way to compliment my ass and tits a LOT

In high school, I secretly tried out being nonbinary and genderfluid for a bit. I knew something was up but couldn’t put my finger on it. Till one night I was driving late and only had my thoughts for company, and I finally realized that I was toying with these other things due to internal transphobia from shitty family members and that being a man is what actually felt right. (Obviously not saying nonbinary and genderfluid people are only trying it out, that’s just how it worked for me)

I realized everyone saw me as a woman and got upset. Prior to that realization at 14 it didn’t really sink in that people thought of me that way.

Trans man—Got cast to play a man in a high school play. First time passing as a guy. Felt so fucking good and euphoric. Took me another 2 years to figure out why it felt so good, I didn’t have the knowledge of trans people (grew up Mormon)
