When I learned what transgender meant it took this huge weight off my shoulders. Just knowing that I wasn't the only person to experience all those confusing dysphoric/euphoric feelings was such a relief. I spent a good chunk of my life thinking I was insane.

I started to cry watching this. I am a biological born female, but it never really felt right. I still use she/her and never really seriously considered being transgender. But watching this, I felt like it hit something inside. I resonated more with the signs then I thought I would. I always, like I said, felt like something was wrong/uncomfortable. I wished, and still do, that one day I will wake up and be a boy. I don’t really mind being called she/her, but the gender specific compliments, those hurt. When I got a more "male" clothing style, people stopped complementing me. Only when I would were dresses I got complimented. I have never known much about the LGBTQ+ community, mostly because of my west side upbringings. being gay wasn’t a big no no, but I feel like being transgender is a whole nother level. But last year I got into this school which are really open and accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, and I have learned so much about it. I still remember the first week of school and me classmates asked in our group chat what our pronouns were and suggesting making little cards with everyone’s pronouns on them and hang them up in our classroom. I just remember thinking it was so wholesome and considerate. I am still questioning my gender, pronouns, and sexuality, but being around the environment at school and watching videos like these really make me learn and find out more about myself. Thank you to anyone who read this. I am really bad at talking about my feelings, and I don`t have many friends to talk about this either.

0:35 - 0:45 I am glad that you took the time to acknowledge that non-binary people are not obligated to also identify with the word trans, but I am also glad that you also do identify with that.

Someone finally gendered me correctly today honestly~ they apologized because a few weeks ago they called me dude, then today he came to me and said “hey sorry, I know you said you’re trans, so I won’t do it again, and honestly you’re looking like a girl right now” and my heart dropped~… I blushed and honestly I was really happy

This is amazing, and I'm really glad that this was made. I've been using the label "transgender" for about half a year now but there's always the thought of "what if im just faking for attention" or "you're lying to yourself." This really helped get rid of most of the doubt I was experiencing :D Tysm

I’ve got my first gender counselling appointment tomorrow and I had to send this to my girlfriend so she can understand me a little better. I’m a transman

Due to a lack of LGBTQ+ education in my childhood & teen years, I never came to my trans conclusion until lockdown...but I suppose there were some early indicators: 1) I always winced whenever my mum (& maybe some other relatives) called me stuff like 'handsome boy.' 2) I never liked using the urinal in public bathrooms & stubbornly used cubicals. 3) whenever having to introduce myself, a part of me would die inside whenever I would have to say my deadname out loud. 4) this one probably doesn't matter but I hate having my hair cut too short because it looked way too macho.

I've been questioning for years now. Somehow I just know that I want to be a girl, but I can't explain why. I'm constantly ruminating about this, constantly going from thinking I'm a trans woman to thinking maybe I've just been a cis guy all along, back and forth like a switch being turned on and off countless times. Sometimes neither of the binary genders feels right. I've tried just saying I'm non-binary to be done with the questioning, but I'm still unsure if that fits, and I keep finding myself wondering if I'm a trans woman no matter what I do. I've tried changing my pronouns to she/her countless times. Each time I do, I usually go back to he/him in about 2 or 3 weeks, after I realise that merely changing my pronouns isn't enough for me. Recently when I changed my pronouns back to she/her, it seemed like people didn't even care to use them- they'd just call me he anyway, or completely avoid using pronouns when referring to me altogether. It's like no one believes in my gender identity enough to respect it, and I hate that. How am I supposed to learn to feel comfortable with myself, if I can't even be referred to in a way that feels right? I feel like I always have to use he/him just so OTHER people can be happy. I just feel desensitised to it because people call me that every day of my life. Or that's what I keep telling myself at least. After a while, all this questioning doesn't even make sense to me. However, I feel like maybe I'm getting confused. Maybe the reason that I thought I could be trans in the first place is actually because the narrative of feeling really depressed and uncomfortable for your whole life, until a certain point where you can get the right help and be your truest self, really resonated with me, rather than me actually being transgender if that makes sense. Like, this is kinda how my anxiety and my depression make me feel, but I might have such high anxiety and depression for different reasons. If anyone out there has read through all these ramblings of mine, thanks so much :) I really hope I'm not alone in how I feel, because it feels really isolating and horrible

Watching this right before I post that I am trans to my socials bc I was gaslighting myself into thinking I wasn’t trans. Thank you for this video, it really helped me :)

I'm a 14F. I'm not really sure. Ever since I was a kid, I loved dressing up in boy clothes. My parents, siblings, friends, and family used to call me tomboy. I didn't feel uncomfortable being a female, but something about being Male mad me feel safer. So in 2020 I asked my parents if I could cut my hair short and they said yes. When i cut it short, I felt more comfortable and free. I don't know if I'm trans or not, it's driving me crazy.

my biggest one was euphoria. i would spend HOURS in cosplay because i was so comfortable and safe in the way that i was presenting. so much confidence in masculine outfits. eventually, i realized i didn’t have to force myself to be a girl if i didn’t want to anymore

first off- Your hair looks really cool! (I'm a little envious) Secondly, this video made me very happy! Thank you so much Lynn! Today someone in my class said something kind of transphobic to me and it made me feel really bad but this cheered me right up, so thank you, thank you so much!

I realised I was trans through dreams, I would have lucid dreams where I was a girl, and it just felt right, I changed my name and pronouns, and I now feel sooo much better, it's like I can finally be free

Being someone who rarely experiences gender dysphoria, this video was very helpful. I never really had any issues with being a guy growing up (other than the body hair thing... that hit hard) but once I started exploring femininity and pronouns and names... it all just clicked super well. like damn.

Finding out that I'm trans really helped explain the "weird" things I did in childhood. And really explained me being dissociated through puberty longer than recovering from a brain surgery.

I'm a 15-year-old transgender girl, and I really like this video! I have identified as a girl since I was a little kid, but I didn't know the exact term for it, and I was living as gender-neutral socially. The puberty you talked about didn't necessarily make me feel uncomfortable until when I was 14 it started to get uncomfortable that I want to develop female characteristics. Thank you for this video and hopefully this will help people that are questioning their gender identity and for those too, that don't know about gender dysphoria. P.S. My doctor made a referral to a transgender outpatient clinic and it got accepted! :) All I ever need to wait is an appointment.

i am really needing this more than ever atm :/ gender crisis going harrrdddddd :P

For me, my gender dysphoria growing up was very very subtle. I didn’t like being called she. I felt so disconnected to “she,” as well as my birth name, and I thought it was normal, I guess? But I liked being called a girl and stuff, and I actually liked that changes that happened to my body during puberty. But, I guess that’s because I’m still very feminine🧍🏻 Then one day, last year, I suddenly realized “hey, neopronouns are pretty poggers” And like a day or 2 later I just randomly thought, “I wouldn’t mind being seen as nonbinary” And then the gender crisis started at 17😭😭 Now I’m a demiboy/nonbinary boy (I use both because Im a demiboy but I’m also a boy in a nonbinary way? Idk)

One time my mom asked me “what name would you want if you decided you were a boy. And it was a minute before I answered “Gabriel.” And then I thought about it for a moment and thought “oh my god, I answered too fast.” And then she asked me “and if you were non binary?” I didn’t respond this time but in my head I thought “Either Ellis or Mako.” And I think about it a lot. More of the “but I’m not non-binary?” And then thinking about it so much that I just give up because I don’t have the energy.

I really needed this. I’m starting the process of getting hrt and doubting myself and what I’m feeling and this put things back into perspective

I started crying at 4:28 finally having explaination to what's happening to me feels so good. Thank you so much ❤

This video is just what I needed today, thank you so much!

Bro you make me so happy with those videos, it's so relatable😭

Im still confused if im trans or not. When im in dresses or being in shorts people calling me she/her feels right, but later being in the same clothes it doesnt feel right to me with people calling me by she/her. So what am I?

Okay I was thinking I was a trans male but I still watched this video and everything was correct like I always wear baggy clothes to cover my chest and cut my hair always hated being called a female and the way I mostly found out was when I was at a restaurant and they referred to me as a male and omg I felt sooo good- I came out to my mother and my step father and two step sisters and ofc my best friend and I say that I am trans online and stuff but besides those people there is a lot who don’t know and I am thinking of getting a binder and a flag soon so that’s good!

I've recently started questioning my gender. I remember having thoughts as a child about the line that goes through the male genitals and thought that it was where my parents chose to make me a boy before i was born and wished that there was an easy way to undo that. Little did i know then that this was actually how males are formed. Never been too comfortable in my own skin. once tried waxing my legs during lock down just to see how that felt... it was very nice. however, I am a Dad... and have since grown to like that title and not sure i'd have it any other way. so there might be conflict between who i've become (a dad and husband) and who might be my true self. maybe it's in between, I've yet to figure this out and i don't really have privacy away from any that would be affected by my trying different gendered things. The sad thing is that the reality might be that I might find out that i'm trans and not have the courage to disrupt my family life and hope that everything is ok in the end. Upon reading this back to myself, maybe i need a therapist to help me work through somethings. it's a mind field! I absolutely admire anyone who decides that they are trans and goes through with it.

“your life is for you” I dont think enough people especially parents realize this

I feel like everyone is so happy about finding who they really are… for me it just feels so dreadful… i love doing masculine things but he/him doesn’t feel right so for a long time i just identified as enby. But a friend told me “its okay to change how you feel about yourself as you grow and get to know yourself better”. That hit me like a semi truck i dont know what im going to do.. i hate my body and i dont know what to do. There isn’t anything i can do… (i know ftm people have it a lot harder but I still wanna voice my own struggles)

Thanks! I'm non-binary and I believe I, too, am trans :) Thank you for this. I love your channel. This video (and content) is so relatable.

I cried while watching this

Oh my. Thank you so much for posting this! I actually teared up watching this. I just wish I hadn't repressed this and left it so late in life. And finally....: I see you!! 💜

Almost cried watching it, i thought i was the only one who felt like this, thank you :)

I have been questioning my gender ever since I knew what transgender was. At the start, puberty was bad. I grew bewbs at a young age because of genes and body weight. I was in outright denial about being in puberty and having breasts. I refused to wear a bra until my mom said I had to. Even then I didn't want to have bras with padding, because I didn't want my bewbs to look bigger. I also never liked being called stuff like "Princess," or gendered nicknames. I even had a phase where I dressed more feminine to "Hide who I was," (I was questioning my sexuality, deep in the closet). I had one time where I told my parents I wanted to dress more masculine. I had been eyeing up the button-up shirts at the men's clothing store. They agreed to let me try them on, so that I would see that they didn't fit. They didn't fit, and I felt so bad I wanted to cry, but I didn't.

As a child especially in middle school I was fine whenever somebody used my biological pronouns he/him but whenever someone used she/her or they/them it always just made me feel really comfortable. Actually for a while I thought being trans was just the opposite of your gender and since I was fine with people calling me by my biological pronouns I thought I was like genderfluid or agender until I dug deeper down into the trans community so thank you :)

i am so happy that i found this video, knowing that i am trans feels refreshing like all the weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Watching this video all those years ago really helped me figure out what this feeling was inside of me. I was hating myself and just basically thinking no matter how hard I tried to force being cis it would never work out it would never give me that felling of reassurance of being proud and happy about who I was. So thank you so very much for making this.

Im a trans girl 16. Yesterday i was at work and a child came in to the shop with his mom. He looked at my red dyed hair which was in a very small pony tail, and he asked his mom: "why does she have red hair." For the record i was defently not crying when i left work that day.

I am questioning even after coming out. And I had all signs besides the puberty thing. Because I never have been raised to know what being trans meant. But I definitely did feel different than other teen girls and when told I had to dress and present like a girl in public throughout my teen years, it resulted in retaliation and I didn’t know why.

Thank you so much for this, it helped me so much!!!!

Thank you for making this

Always nice to see you lynn you are perfect the way you are you are part of the trans umbrella just as much as you are part of the asexual umbrella you are beautiful and perfect inside and out love you the way you are i always count you as a close friend thank you lynn

I disagree with the narrative that women are “pretty” and grow up, get married, & have kids. No one has to do any of those things.

First, thank so much for this video. Second, I absolutely love your glasses - what frames are they?

This helped me a lot. I was confused and was scared to actually revel myself. I had thought it was just I needed to be more feminine but it was to b3 something else. Thanks for this video so much love and I am going to start out nonbinary.

Hiiii, so cis-women here (at least I think I am) As I am ace-pan and very invested in the queer community, I am around a lot of genderqueer and trans people (like queer people in general) and I think because of that I am very aware of the struggles and stages of these identeties. I don‘t believe in the gender binary and don‘t really feel conected to „womenhood“ but I also don‘t necessarily feel uncomfortable being (and being conceived) as a women. I think (and this is just completely my opinion) gender doesnt matter (for me) it‘s just all very absurd to me to try to lable a feeling that is sooo very individual and is based on a societal construct. I hope I‘m getting my point across without sounding invalidating. I just think a world without gender would be great (as much as I‘d be possible. I love you videos, and thank you so much for your time if your reading this :)

Loved this!

thank you this helped me so much

Thanks to this video, I have found happiness and myself! Thank you so much you have really saved me

Fun fact (?) :If your autistic your more likley to be trans or non binary. I do light research on autisim and i can tell if people are autistic (most of thd time) but literally only through roblox 😭 like uh my friend ace i asked them P O L I T L E Y if they were autistic and they said they are getting diagnosed soon, the asked me why and i said i can smell it, same thig happened wih my other friend but i was wrong, the actually had ADD (ADHD but different, im researching about it yet so im not gonna say anything about it)

This video helped me so much. I’m a male to female! ^_^

I'm a late bloomer, exploring my gender identity now that I'm 35. But I've never been comfortable with my natal gender, and I remember distinctly episodes when it was so painfully glaring, in hindsight. But it was different times, and we didn't have the words, the notion of gender identity and transness back there. I might be late to the game, but I'm here now, fighting tooth and nail to be seen for who I am 💪

It's a crazy ride (I came out as MTF) some years back and it still haunts me. No motivation, but I guess everyone is different. I'm still figuring it out! Thanks for the Video. I see other beautiful female friends and I seem to relate to them a bit more!

This helped me thank you I was forced to come out because my boyfriend at the time didn’t want me because I told him I wasn’t comfortable in my body and we broke up it was hard but I was forced to come out when I told my mom and she was supportive and lately I have been confused about what I am but I know a will find out sooner or later I’ve been playing around with names and pronouns for a couple days and it’s been fun just looking for a new way to express myself thank you I hope your doing well sorry for the rant I needed to get this off my chest

Im an AFAB enby, but i associate with a lot of these. im fine being called female pronouns and my assigned name, but I usually ask people, including my teachers, to call me my nickname(gio) NO MATTER WHAT! I really like my birth name, i think its pretty. It feels feminine, unlike me, but I meet people who are with gn/masc names and are feminine, so it makes me feel fine. im fine with not changing my name or legal gender, but I see myself as nonbinary. This just made me feel even better. -gio (she/him)

This honestly convinced me I'm trans. I talked about it when my friends and for the most part they've been overwhelmingly positive. It's almost scary sometimes because they keep moving on faster then I do, but I'm greatful for that. Other then that I still gotta tell my parents so that'll be an experience, but I hope to grow into someone I can be proud of

I am a cis man, and Sometimes I ask myself "am I trans? Or rather, I would do anything to not work out and eat healthier?" Three signs in and I am pointed towards the latter.😢

As an afab transmasc demigirl I personally never felt that uncomfortable with my period. It felt like something neutral. I never got told by my mother that I was becoming a woman or any of that, she just helped with process. Also I have adhd and experience hyperactivity that can be unbearable at times. I guess I get relieved when I feel like I can naturally relax. I donno periods feel so removed from gender for me. I also have an odd relationship with my bits that are traditionally gendered by some. I sometimes wish my chest was bigger and more older looking?? I wish my entire body was taller and had more grown proportions. I wouldn't mind being tall and busty because then I could be masculine in a edgy "punk" girl way. But I'm small and I don't feel like breaking my legs to be 5'7" so I'll settle with small guy with nice tits who looks kinda fruity. On that note I get strong bottom dysphoria at times and wish I had a functional penis. My ideal self makes sense in my head but I'm aware society in general probably wouldn't take me seriously?? Idk I doubt it :/

I’m Trans MTF Awww I love this! I totally agree! I looove your videos! I really hope you create more content!Im Vanessa by the way! 🌈❤️

Thank you for this video. I’ve been very confused and I feel better about it thank you so muc

whenever i’m called a girl i can only explain the feeling as either angzar (abbreviation for symbol nobody knows the meaning of) or just :3

Pray for all of y’all😔, love all y’all even tho I don’t support yall

I came out to my friends and they al loved me for who I am exempt 1 who didn't understand , but when she did start to get it and called me by my preferred gender , it felt amazing 😊

Thank you for your videos they are excellent.

what if i havent ever related to be annoyed or get angry when someone calls me a girl or a boy??? plz help

Before you think you’re transgender just give yourself some time to think, Chances are you’re not. You don’t need to be girly to be a girl you just need to be yourself, don’t worry what this person says, you can still be a girl and like all the things that guys like!! I was born with a lot of Brothers, and I guess I wouldn’t act like a girl, but even so, I am still a girl you can’t change the fact who you are biologically. It’s more that you need to accept yourself❤

Can you do a "signs your white video?", I am struggling with my ethnicity identity.

I know this is an old video, but OMG I NEED that background on my devices.

I have no idea what my gender is, but, being amab, i dont really mind male pronouns, but people using feminine pronouns on me feels amazing.

Oh yeah… there is none. Shout out to the homies who know there’s only man and woman. They know wassup.

You're not non-binary. There's no such thing.

many women don't associate with wanting a stereotypical female gender roles that doesn't mean they should be a trans ' man' puberty is uncomfortable for everyone the problem is all the stereotypes used what people do to is not the problem what is strange are all the stereotypes

I’m still identifying as bi and genderfluid, but have started questioning whether or not I am trans, in my late thirties as an amab. I grew up in a household where I was the only (biological) boy. At school I didn’t want to play the rough games the boys were playing. I was more than happy to play with the girls. It was more fun, and gentler. From a young age, I was so certain that my genitals were wrong. Like something had been done to them surgically. Today, I asked friend if they would use my preferred pronouns and name, and they said yes. And when they used my name, and called me she, it was so amazing. I wanted to happy cry.

brainwashed

This video was helpful thanks lot.

I got this recommended but I was certain I'm not trans. Still, I thought "Why not watch any way and just rule out every sign?" Unsurprisingly, I'm happy with my gender. But the first few points still resonated with me and I noticed there is a piece of my identity that was assigned at birth and I've spent every waking moment since I can remember trying to deny. I feel I can understand you lot much better now. So much so, I want to give 2 more signs and hopefully someone will relate to them: The frustration when someone (ie. the bank or a government agency) has your papers and you have to bite the bullet and identify the way it's written and not the way you feel. The pity you feel for missing experiences others born into the life you want had in childhood and other stages that have already passed you by. Of course, there is a massive chance I'm just talking out of my arse here and this has nothing to do with your feelings. In any case, stay strong my friends. Sometimes life isn't fair; but once you turn it around, you can be proud of yourself.

Dear Lynn Saga I love your videos also I do feel that I'm gender fluid and trans where you mentioned the body hair I also do feel feminine at times but it's rare when it happens I was and am still afraid to go through with the changes and you spoke about how being afraid of being made fun of I personally am scared to be judged or looked at differently I had a friend she is going through the procedure of breast removal but no lower surgery and I've worn sports bras that made me feel sexy and good about myself ,really don't have much hair on top of my noggin wish it could grow thicker ,I like women's clothing but scared out of my mind to go out in public bring afraid I'll be ridiculed I am a bit self conscious and I was wondering if you have any words of advice for a fella who was told he may be gender blind I also do feel conflicted every so often every couple months it happens .

may i ask, im going through the confusion right now, not sure who i am. I was playing a game recently and someone asked me if im a girl or a boy, and i got stressed and didnt know what to answer, i panic answered with 'girl' (as i was born a girl) but instantly overthought it and it got me thinking, would that be a sign of transgender?

thank you!! i already know i’m trans but this helped me find words to explain to my mom who doesn’t understand/support me being trans

I hated my body (body hair the most) since puberty started and always had reocurring thoughts and daydreaming about being a girl and how cool would that be and always hated when someone called me a man and that I am gonna get married in the future. Since nobody talked about it I just shrugged it off and told myself that it's normal and every guy goes through this and I just need to get used to it. Now I am confident in the fact that I am trans but when I start doubting myself and thinking I am just faking it for atention and to be unique I go to this type of content for reassurance or talk to my close friend and that doubt goes away as soon as he calls me by my preffered name and pronouns (she/her) Thank you for making this video

Thank you for this video. I don't usually comment on videos, let alone anything a bit personal, but maybe someone else can relate to me. (Lengthy read below, whooo) Even though I have considered myself trans (Trans guy) for years now, and have always known I'm a guy, I still watch videos like these. On my own, every single day I feel more and more certain in who I am, but ever since my parents changed their minds on supporting me and told me that I'm lying to myself, that I'm being manipulated and that I'm in a cult... I feel like I watch these videos to try and show up my parent's thoughts that linger in my head, trying to prove to them that "this is me. No matter what you say." And to remind myself how much pain I'd be in if I gave into my parents thoughts and fully closetted myself. I do have a supportive environment and friends, so I can still be myself around them

Hey! Dunno if you’ll see this, but for the first one, I’m not uncomfortable at being called by my birth sex/gender, but I get uncomfortable when people expect me to “act like a woman” or “dress like a woman”. Is that something like that or completely different?

Im in my midst of puberty and I always knew something wasn't right at a fairly young age but I never knew how to describe it until I figured out what the term Transgender was. As I am currently going through puberty things have just been getting worse but I am hopeful for the near future and to be able to start a transition medically.

I still can’t figure out if I’m trans, non-binary, or gender-fluid. I don’t really much feel like a girl at all but I can’t seem to find what category I fit into. I’ve stuck with the identity of non-binary for a while but i feel like I’m starting to get pushed over to the male side, but at the same time, I don’t really fit into the male or female categories evenly. Could someone please help me figure out?

You helped me a lot I keep trying to change myself for my family I’ve been wearing feminine clothes but it doesn’t feel right it feels like playing dress up

watched this video a year or two ago when I was first learning about the lgbtq+ community. rewatching this now, I thank you so much for this video. Its helped me realized I was a trans man who was just desensitized to my gender dysphoria

Omg thank you someone finally gets it!!!

I am trying to find out if I am trans, non-binary or something else and this video is very informative, thank you very much!!

When you said the first sign my mind when straight to hell everyone would call my queen instead of king in 4 square. Or how I would get uncomfortable when people call me a chick. So many things. Thanks for this video. I’m still trying to figure out if I’m trans and this helps a lot. ❤❤ Also anyone got a more masc name for Lilia?

Im basically thinking im trans ik a lot that i just i dont associate with the gender i was assigned how do i tell my mom if im not ready to have "the talk" with her like she always asks a lot like a lot and i just idk what to do any advices for this??

I’m going to tell you what made me figure out I was mtf trans even tho no one cares: I have been all over the spectrum. I’ve thought I’ve been a gay man, bi, ace, aegosexual, all sorts. And the one thing all of these had in common is that when I realised it I hated it, it’s not who I wanted to be and I cried a lot, but when I realised I was trans it just felt natural and correct and I didn’t not want to feel like that like with everything else I had thought I was.

Hi Lynn........ Excellent video as always cya friend

Literally ur experience describe how I felt and feel too

I am happy that I told my sister I was nb/trans it like it took the weight off my chest I still get dysphoric when I forget someone if they are a he or she

I'm alr knowing I'm trans but just checking cause sometimes it feels .. you know.. wrong? Maybe cause I was born and learned that "Trans bad" "Trans grrr" but yknow..

Thank you You helped me as I have questioned myself and I don’t feel like a boy

Thank you, now I’m sure, I just watched the nonbinary one, and I commented there too, but I wanted to say this, you actually have helped me, I thinked I could be trans, but I just couldn’t be a boy or just a girl, so I’ve been trying to find what I am, now I’m all clear, sincerely, I’m happy I’m not trans, because it would’ve been weird for me to say to my friends “ hey, I just found out I’m trans, hope you won’t leve me “ but with these two videos of you, now I’m sure that I’m bigender. Thank you again

1. I hate when someone say "tHATs nOT girLiSH " or "BECauSe YOu arE THe GiRL" 2. One time when my friend say that im a boy ( this friend was a boy)I feel satisfaction . 3. I HATE my boobs soooooo i wear male baggy clothes to hide them and i hiding my hair 4. I feel bad when i talking with girls because i dont know what they like . 5. Im really like boy clothes and i will cut my hair. Soooooo yep . Maybe I'm a boy now.

I like what you say about being trans not having to be this downer. I never had terrible dysphoria but I've also never been that thrilled with masculinity. I downloaded faceapp recently and used the gender swap function and holy cow did it fill me with a powerful joy and yearning. It's a bit complicated for me since I have wife and kids now but even just knowing I'm trans means I can let go of the burden of never feeling like I was measuring up as a guy. I can stop feeling like a failed man and just enjoy being who I am - even if that's just an internal experience for now

YES! i get so uncomfortable when people use "she" or "her" or "young lady" etc, but i literally burst out in happiness when someone uses "he" or "him", or when my best friend corrects someone who uses she. it feels so GOOD!! AND SAME WITH THE PUBERTY ONE OMG- im always so uncomfortable when anyone talks about it, and everything else you said, and my mom is really concerned 😭😭

i love your compuet wallpaper
