Hey non-cis folks of the fediverse  👋

We'd like to know which things you wish you had heard, read, seen, or been told about gender when you were younger that might have helped you to realise you weren't cis sooner 

The ones we wish we had been told are:

  • If you want to be a girl, you can just be a girl.
  • Cis boys don't feel uncomfortable in their gender and wish they could be a girl.
  • Cis boys don't wish they were trans, so that they could transition too.
  • Nobody else can tell you what your gender is: you have to discover it for yourself.

What would yours be?

Let's try and help a few current and future eggs together

@SleepyCatten - It's never too late, but you can start any time. There will never be "the right time"
- You don't have any be 100% sure. Nobody is and will ever be.
- I am not a man/boy is enough. You can figure out the rest while going.
- There's more than male and female. Experiment with presentation.
- If you love dresses and skirts, wear them. If you still do not really question your gender, that's also fine. Wear the frigging dress.
- Frank N. Furter and Mrs Doubtfire are not what trans people look like.
- Transit is a mental journey. Don't expect to start the exact same person.
- There are parts of you that deserve to see the light of day. Let them shine.
- A very personal one: you think you are introverted. You are so wrong.

@sashag @SleepyCatten I get less introverted every day the more I know who I am and accept it. You aren't alone in that.

@Toni2167 @SleepyCatten I didn't notice the change (probably because I always felt like that, I just didn't let it show) until 12 or 18 months into transition. I was at a supermarket, next to me a young couple wondering what pastrami might be.
Without a thought I turned sideways, explained what it is and how to make a decent pastrami sandwich.
They were friendly, just a bit surprised. I left the supermarket and in the parking lot it hit me: Who the fuck was that person in there? Very simple, it was me 🤷‍♀️
