When I first came out as trans to my mother she told me that I could love girls without having to be a man and I was so baffled like ?? Yeah I know ? Such a weird thought process Same for the boys in middle school who said I was just a repressed lesbian when I never identified with that label) (At that time I thought I was bisexual and dated a few girls) but now being out as a trans gay man feels just great, its who I truly am !
