#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 This is difficult to answer. One of my earliest memories is of how incredibly important it was for me to remember what my name would have been if I'd been born a cis girl. I was worried at that young age, 3 or 4yo, I'd lose myself if I forgot. I needed to hold onto it for the day I finally got to be a girl. A lifetime filled to the brim with extremely telling and obvious memories and experiences.

But I also didn't understand I was trans until my 30s.
