Tags below:
age 1-9; blissfully unaware Christian baby
age 10; puberty hit, early bloomer, suddenly very aware my body is not changing in a way I want; aware of queer people but told it’s evil
age 11-14; very much aware of how I am queer and how much I don’t like my gender, but too afraid to admit it to myself—experiment with labels
age 15; via YouTube, finally learn what trans person is in a not so biased way; big awakening
age 16; experiment with labels, do what I can to learn what I feel; settle on transfemme
age 17 (now); just kinda vibing, come out in my circle of friends, narrowing sexuality down, in general, things r better :)))
