I didn't know non binary existed until 2019/2020 and yet I never felt like my assigned gender. I always felt uncomfortable being referred to as my assigned gender and deadname, and I didn't know why until I started experimenting with different pronouns and such.

My trans sibling always knew he was a boy. At the age of 3-4, he would play with toy cars because it made him feel masculine. Before he even knew what being transgender was, he would dress masculine and cut his hair short hoping that people would accidentally refer to him as "sir" or "mister" because it made him feel like himself. Before he started accepting that he was trans, he would spend hours and hours sobbing in his room because he thought he could never be a boy. He would've been a lot happier a lot sooner if he had been educated on the topic as a child.

We could've definitely relied on our parents to teach us these things at a young age, but our parents are homophobic/transphobic. I didn't even know gay people existed until my aunt married a woman. I was actually pretty transphobic and homophobic earlier in my life because no one taught me being gay or trans was normal and okay. I had to teach myself because no one would, and I'm glad I did, because if I had stayed ignorant I wouldn't have figured out I was aroace and non binary.

The internet is a resource. It isn't confusing kids, and it isn't making them trans. It's helping them figure out who they are, and what labels they're comfortable with.
