casual, friendly reminder that if you feel like you’re “faking” being trans/nonbinary because you didn’t really question your gender until recently, you’re good

we don’t all get to grow up around informed or accepting people

being drowned in cis-hetero normativity makes it difficult to realize you could be anything other than what’s been fed to you your entire life….and even more difficult to accept it once you start questioning yourself

sometimes you need more time asking questions and appreciating other people who have already accepted their gender/sexuality to understand and feel comfortable with yourself

but once you do figure out exactly where you fit and find other people who respect and love you for who you are, it’s the most calming and beautiful feeling
