How did y’all realize you were trans? I identify as a masc lesbian, but if someone calls me sir, or Snapchat filters that give me facial hair, etc etc I freaking love and it makes me feel good.

My example isn’t helpful but I basically just woke up one day and realized I wanted to be a woman. This was after at least a year of denial and ignoring it but either way it was very sudden. I think my denial just reached the end of its rope tbh. And at that point I had more knowledge of trans people than I did before

personally i just knew something didnt feel right being viewed as a girl so i just started experimenting socially. mostly in online spaces, where i would introduce myself with a different name and pronouns than i previously used. which, really helped tbh bc i figured out "wow i really like this name it feels right" and got a feel for what pronouns did or didnt work for me lol

Another question. How did you tell your parents? I come from a very very Christian family and upbringing and idk how to tell my family that I’m like 99% sure I want to be a man.

I haven’t told mine yet lmao. They have no idea. I’m planning on doing it sometime within the next year. And only because after a certain point progress from hrt will be impossible to hide. And I don’t want to slow down my transition for their sakes. And my family isn’t OVERTLY transphobic? But like they still might be a lil. I don’t really think I can help you with that one ngl.

Honestly I have had those kinda nights. Not feeling like yourself in your own body really sucks.
