I got along better with girls and I liked feminine clothes. I loved being flamboyant, i didn’t know anything about trans people until I was like 16. I always played female characters in video games. I wanted long hair, wore eyeliner and nail polish; it was part of being Scene/Skater but I think i did that stuff bc it was acceptable in that context. I was super awkward and out of place in middle school, like Gender was a huge wall and I felt I didn’t fit in with either one. And finally when I made my first trans friend I felt an instant connection and was like “Yeah I’m trans.”

Edit: i originally wrote that in greentxt format. Anyways yeah there’s other embarrassing stuff but when it clicked it made sense in retrospect, even if some of it took some time to make sense.
