How I came out as transgender

I recently came out as trans and here I am. I came out about 2 years ago when I was 15, when I was like, 6 or so. And I knew I was going to be out the world and that was okay. But then I started school and it was like, wow, this guy, this person, a little older than me, I think he was around 30 or 40 and he's talking to this girl. And I dont know, and hes just so happy and were both just laughing and Im so happy about it. Ive had a really good life and Ive been on a happy hookup for about a year. So thats my story. I was a really shy, introvert, nerd, weirdly happy person and I always liked playing with other people. I never liked it when people made fun of me and my mom because I was just like, really sweet and loving and like, I was good at my own games. I never liked being a "dumbass." I always liked playing dress-up, playing pretend like I was this character that didnt know I was a trans person. I was the coolest and bestest girl in school. I was so happy to have found my way out in the world and finally have the confidence and acceptance that I always had. But then I started having this weird, huffy reactions that I didnt really have in the past. Like when people were talking about my looks, I just kept on thinking about them complimenting my body and people talking about how beautiful I looked and people talking about my fashion sense. Like I just kept thinking about it and feeling embarrassed everytime. Like I couldnt really handle it. And I just kept thinking about how it felt like I wasnt really in control and I couldnt really express myself and how people were talking about me. I couldnt really function properly and I ended up just hiding it and trying to act casual about it. I was so embarrassed. I just kept talking to people about how I felt and I tried to act casual about it but it just felt awkward. And I really just kinda embarrassed myself. I kept feeling ashamed of it and I just kind of felt like I couldnt really be myself. And I kinda felt like I had something else. I was sad. Like I couldnt really be myself. I had this awkward feeling where I just wanted to hide my sadness. I wanted to hide my sadness. And then, I found this other trans friend, we talked about it and we kinda clicked and Id feel like wed kinda start talking. It was like wed kinda vibe, like, it felt like something clicked and we actually clicked, and we just started playing around. I could see that we had something special. And we actually make fun of each other people, wed laugh. And that was when I decided to just come out to him. And he was like, yess. I just told him I was sad and I told him that I was a trans and he was overthinking it and I felt so awkward about it. It was honestly one of the best things Id ever been about. And he was like "Haha, youre actually pretty." And he said this and we just

Well yeah it was a very good. I'm not sure there. I don't want you to feel better. I don't know so much to be better. And I wish I'm glad that you have a better life. And I'm very happy. I love you are. I'm going to love you to be happy. I hope you can have the best. I love you to be happy.
It was in the way. that we were just talking about something irl. a year, I was kind of me and then we just talking about that he, he told to talk about the gay people and he told him. It. We just talking about it we talked about our relationship irl I was not a lot of him, but I was doing some we made a man. And I thought we went through my self love, I wanted to make some of him and I was happy people that there we both kind of it. And then we got back then I don´d asked him. And he said I was just like it, we went out of this I got really a gay people, there. we wanted to me

The first thing I did was make a post and everyone loved it. I started with an actual person and all of them seemed like they wanted to be friends. I have to explain how I came out as transgender. I felt that my friends would only know I had a big penis, so they would never really get to know my true self. I dont want to have the same experiences as my friends, but I know what its like.

You sound like you're being facetious. It sounds like it took a long time, a lot of therapy, and a lot of people to get to where you are. But as an ally I feel that the process has been worth it

pfft I'm sorry, I didn't expect to receive that many comments on my post. I didn't expect this kind of hate from people who just like being transgender. It really made me sick. I've been feeling more and more sick these last few days. I'm sure this isn't an uncommon phenomenon here, but I thought that people could get more open to things like this. So here I am, posting a story about my recent transition from being born as a male to a female and transitioning to being a male again. The only difference is now I'm a man. I don't have a girlfriend, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm a man. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

> I'm not an American, but I'm actually glad to be born and raised in Canada so I'm used to having support and acceptance of other people.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will take it with me

I will try it

I ‖m gonna have to call the cops because this is an ugly, disgusting mess." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!?!!?

It”ll take me four days to get through that, and I know there's people out here that need help too - but for the time being, I just want you all To share your stories.

I'm just gonna let you guys know that I've had an amazing year, and I'm very grateful for what I've been able to achieve lately. I just want to say thank you, and remember that being confident will help you continue to improve yourself. If you are thinking about changing your gender, remember that it's not permanent. You may decide that it’s not for you. But for the love of god, just remember that you are a human being and you deserve to know that.
Thank you, I hope it’s helpful, and I hope everyone is able to be themselves with a sense of self-determination!

I swear the only thing keeping me afloat is my five year old. edit: this was a very wholesome conversation. I hope every one of your kids eventually becomes a dolphin or something similar.

Yeah but I'm kinda afraid they'll find out I'm a trans guy
It’s not wholesome. It’s just hard. I’m scared. I’m just trying to live my life and accept myself. It’s not perfect, I have a lot of challenges, and it’s definitely not perfect for others.
- Haha, I had a female toddler in the past, but she eventually went through puberty. The thing is, I still had her. We’re both from the same home town and I still see her often. I love her. I don’t know how to tell her how I feel about this. But I do know she can be better for it. And she has shown me that.
Thank you for continuing to entertain my little boy. girls are not real, they're just a type/subtype grouping of mammals belonging together as family. They’re beautiful, intelligent creatures that are also curious, sociable animals that are loyal (they will protect you), but all of them have an abiding love life. Some of these animals are also capable animal lovers, and some may even be aggressive towards you if provoked. None belong within the genus of "dolphins" and most of them don't have the intelligence of humans. So please
- I think the thing is, I don't know what to call a dolphin, or a dolphin. I just know they're all marine life.
- This was very wholesome, I hope you and your daughter grow up to be more loving and considerate than I do. /hj

This will be used for both comments/answers posted here! Please do NOT repost this message if there are any other posts where we have been asked questions regarding our gender identity by others who don't know us well enough yet to answer them directly without using 'transgender' instead of their preferred pronoun(s). If someone else wants clarification then please ask me first before posting anything like what they want answered so everyone can see exactly why my question was being put into context ratherthan just asking people when i'm done answering mine :)

I do understand the need of context but I would advise against doing this on Reddit. It seems like a lot of people on the internet are either misinformed or ignorant of the current issues people face. In order to educate yourself it would be nice to see some posts or even a small portion of them on this subreddit. You may also want to look into ways you can educate yourself and why you would like to post things like this. It could also be a good place to ask the questions you want answered. Be open to learning new things about yourself, especially with a partner that has a different perspective on things.
- I would agree that I don't understand why I should post things like this. I understand the need to share information that would be helpful to others, but it just doesn't feel right. The fact that this is a place for self-advocates, who are very well informed about transgender issues, to share their thoughts on this is very concerning. It feels like they're trying to gain a position of power, but this place is about people's issues not theirs.
Thank you so much! I hope you are the best trans person on earth, and you're lucky.
- Yeah, if it's not, it's really not that hard.

If you did that right, I wouldn't have a problem with that. I'd say a lot of trans people don't get this. It's common for people to not hear about it or understand it at all.
This was the exact same message I sent the last time I went on the website, thanks again for sharing this!
- If this was a new post please message the original author. If not, please contact the author of the original post. It usually includes information on how you came out and what caused the breakup.

You can tell this is my last fucking day. >I know you’re in the mood for some good old boys but I’m not ready to be your man yet, my mortal enemies! My mortal enemies will have the last laugh!:)<|suo-o-qh\u200d♀🍾 If you had any sense

I know. It's been a long time coming but I am finally a real man. Thanks for the support!
- Wow, good work. I'm not surprised at all that you've come out to the community. I'd imagine this is very common for people transitioning from female-to-male. I see transwomen in my daily life and I always laugh them off, as I am not interested in hurting their feelings. I see people saying I don't deserve to be treated this way and I want to respect those feelings and I'll give it a try. It takes a lot of hard work for me and I hope you succeed.

"I am not sure how to explain it to someone who doesn't already understand, but for me its about wanting to live as an individual and not have to deal with the social pressures that society puts upon us.\xa00 >The idea behind this is simple. If you want your gender/identity to remain consistent with whatever youre going through in your life (ehelpful for a lot) then you should strive towards living in your true self, even if it means that youll need to put up with a lot less societal pressure than most people do.

There's something about wanting to live in your true self that's very appealing. It feels like your own identity is at your disposal and you have more control over that than many people in society. You are free to come out on your own if you want to. Your gender doesn't dictate who you are or what you're going to look like, so what gives you the right to say you are or aren't?
- It is easier for me personally to say that I am a genderfluid transgender than a cisgender. The reason I don’t want to be cis is that my life as a woman is very stressful and I think I could suffer greatly from having to deal with that constantly, and my dysphoria is high. I'm also happier having to deal with that because I don't see myself as a cisgender because I'm happy with myself in every way other than being cis.
And Im so glad that you say this. I've been transitioning for a few years now. Its so hard to tell if Im even a true gender and how much of my identity is just a fad. I know its a difficult choice to make, and its a tough one for most people, but its what I choose to do. And I am happy that youve chosen it.
- I agree with that, but I feel the need to remind myself that I don't feel this way either.
In short, I'm happy being myself! :) This has been one of my favorite topics ever since reading The Mythical Man by Charles Darwin . It's really helped me realize what makes each person tick...and why some things don t work out so well when they try them all together..."
- This post is really cute and it makes me want to read it :D
- I just want to say I am incredibly supportive to you, I love your pronouns, and I think your pronouns are really the best ones Ive ever had in my life. You’re a wonderful person!

I should have known better, but “I love you so much!” (Not a happy moment.)

He’s a lot of fun
Hornets. I’m a trans guy. I am a trans male. I am a trans female. My family and friends call me a man. I’m a proud man.
- You’re also a trender if you’re not attracted to trans men and trans women
