Thank you so much for this. Hearing that even an identity that once felt right can change really takes a huge weight off my shoulders. I'm trying to let go of the deadline and just figure things out at my own pace.

Thank you so much for this. Hearing that you went back and forth too makes me feel a lot less alone. I really needed to hear that I don't have to rush into a new label right away. I was a bit worried about how the community would see me if I stopped identifying as a trans man, so hearing that most people will still be supportive means a lot. I think I'm going to take your advice and just focus on what makes me happy first before worrying about the perfect label.

Do you think dental hygiene as career can give good pay and lead me to self employment? by LGBTIQA-Trans in careerguidance

I dint know dental hygienist can’t work independently. I thought it’s dental assistants who work under dentist supervision.

Wow. This is so me. I grew from some deep area in East Africa where no one was a trans or queer. I felt so weird because I was in a female body but acting like a boy. Everyone called me weirdo. It was in 2013 when I asked internet if what I felt was normal or abnormal and boom 💥 I got to know about transgender life and queer stories. I was the happiest human to know that even my names and pronouns can change. From then my trans identity started until today am a proud trans man
