Description: The picture shows an female presenting anime character in front of a trans pride flag in the background. She is holding up a sign that says: “You don’t need a big list of reasons and past signs to be a valid trans person, just feeling better as a different gender than your birth one is enough <3”

      I thought that because I didn’t have a clue that I wanted to be a girl, I couldn’t be trans. Turns out I had more signs than a protest buried in my past.

      Edit: the signs were surprisingly consistent

  • I noticed I wasn’t cis because I got a rush of happiness/euphoria from being called she/her by my friend after asking, and because recently I had started feeling discomfort/dysphoria towards my chest, it felt empty like something was missing and I realized it’s because I lack breasts and I wish I had them, it makes me sad that my chest is so flat.

    • That actually reminds me of something that happened to me at work (before I was out as trans to my colleagues but already knew I was trans).

      I was together at a work site with a pretty homo-/transphobic colleague. Even back then I didn’t look particularly male because of my naturally feminine body type and long hair.

      We had to go into a clean room, which means for me: making a tight pony tail and stuffing it under a clean room hood (it’s a tight fit). Ngl it took me quite a bit. Since this colleague wasn’t very happy with that, he wanted to be mean and guess what he did:

      He derogatorily called me “princess” :3

      In my head I was like: heheheh theenkk youuu, if only you would know what you just did

    What happens if I reject my gender, since social paragons of that gender are people like Matt Walsh and Donald Trump?

    All the things I learned were masculine in the 1980s turned out to be general adulting.
