I’m genderfluid and my parents named me Quinn! I’m glad they went with a gender neutral name for me because I’ve always liked it and felt comfortable with it

Living proof here of “never too late”: I just turned 61. While I’ve been out as queer since my late 20s, and have known there was more up with me since childhood, just didn’t have the words or understanding for it… I finally figured out a few years ago that I’m genderqueer/nb/transmasc and less than a year ago changed my name and pronouns and came out to most of the people I know and my health care providers. Yes, it can take a while… but it’s just as liberating at 60 as at 16! (And the first person I came out to was my teenage trans grandson! 🏳️‍⚧️💛🤍💜🖤)

Pre-transition my brother-in-law was called Chris, and post transition he's still called Chris. All he changed is what Chris is short for, but nobody was using the long version to actually address him, anyway.

Also, the "game where you play for 12 hours then realize the main character is trans" is Celeste, probably. It's such an Egg game, that I don't think its director realized the main character was trans-coded until after its release. And then, the director realized that

To the person who thinks that they are old at 26: I just figured out that I am trans at almost 36. We all probably have this feeling of being too old. It’s okay to be scared at first. But ya know what? Trans people are very nice and supportive of each other, or at least that’s been my experience.

"My cis friends: it's nice that 2 of our trans friends felt safe enough to come out to us. Me seeing the perfect opportunity: there's 3 actually" I was literally applauding!!!!

For me I didn't feel like I was being hit by dysphoria when I started questioning. Instead I spent the next decade and a half assuming that all of the pain I was feeling was just the cost of being a man and that the child who dared to question their gender was just naive and unwilling to face the reality of biology. Then when I accepted that I was a transwoman I wondered "hey how come every day no longer feels like I'm drowning in acid and I no longer want my existence to end as soon as possible." A curious mystery. I often tell cis people just to make clear that I would rather be locked in an actual physical closet for the rest of my life than spend a single day as the deeply closeted person I once was. I mean it when I say it.

Before I knew I was trans I was walking into target and a little kid asked their grandma, "is that a boy or a girl?" and the grandma said "I don't know" and it made me feel so happy ☺️

Am currently egg in the sense that I think I'm trans but not really ready to accept myself or I guess I don't know who I am. I don't feel like the label trans accurately describes me but neither does cis. I simply am and I think that's alright. You're little speech about accepting yourself is really poking at my heart. You never fall to brighten up my day, Jammi (Jamie?), I appreciate you

The bi pride flag colors are the best pride flag colors, objectively.

I'm a cis woman with a more masculine style and short hair. Yesterday I was misgendered for the first time, and it was very dysphoric. It gave me a new understanding and respect for trans persons, I can't imagine feeling like that on top of struggling with your own internal questions.

"Dysphoria is like getting hit on the head with giant Jenga bricks"

"I think lgbt people are just drawn to everything in the colors of their flag"

"If I had a 'gender slider' like in video game character creators and I could change it whenever I wanted, that'd be pretty cool. I'm not trans though."

I know some people don't get to find out that they're trans until their 20s or older but I still can't help but feel like I'll never get to experience the gay highschool relationship. But at least there's only four years until I get to move out and start T!

so I got a haircut (my hair is now pretty short) and went to a medieval fair with my mum and younger brother and people started mistaking my and my brother for twins, so since my brother had the same medievel outfit twice we decidet to play into it by wearing the same outfit. For the next 3 days I was almost always reffered to as he, like eg me and my brother went to get food and the person asked 'and what do you boys want?' etc and it made me rlly happy, so in a happy voice I told my mum that people keep thinking I'm a boy and she said 'people are just close mindet, they see short hair and think boy, don't worry sweety'

My “very” cis experience: asking my mom what do you call a woman who feels like a man at 5 y/o years before hearing the word trans.
