#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 For me it was a matter of coming to realizations, placing them on the back burner for one reason or another, and circling back later with new language.

I liken it to a comet completing its orbit several times, starting at least as young as 17, but finally landing in my late 20s.
