#Trans friends, I was thinking about our diverse stories, and found myself wondering about the age you knew you were trans (whether you had language to describe it or not)?

I didn't know until my late 40s. Earlier, I knew I was different, but not really in what way.

When did you know?

@taedryn I really, truly had no idea I was trans until I was 47. There was a lot of macho stuff that didn't make any damn sense to me, but I just figured I was a nerd. (Which, to be fair, I still am a nerd. 😉 )

But it took me only about a month of questioning to realize that, oh, hey, I'm actually a woman. (Being home during the pandemic definitely sped up the process.)
