if you think you might be trans? if you think "i might have some gender but i'm not sure"? if there's some part of you that's questioning, even a little bit?
GO for it TRY that shit. and people will give lots of reasons but i'm here to hit you with the REAL one:
if you aren't trans: whoops, you wasted a little bit a time. a bit embarrassing. you head back and enjoy what you love, not a big deal, you move on. every trans person will be understanding, i absolutely promise.
but if you ARE trans?
you just saved yourself SO MANY CRINGE MEMORIES YOU HAVE NO IDEA
- start a webcomic about a guy who loves turning into a girl for no reason
- try to make big long posts about what a "good ally" you want to be
- make a bunch of video game characters with boy names and fumble around with your thoughts
- rant about your nonbinary oc that you care about so much and never fully articulate why
AND IF YOU DO TRANSITION YOU WILL LOOK BACK ON ALL THESE MEMORIES AND GO "oh god. how did i miss it. how was i such a fool. what was i thinking" AND YOUR BRAIN WILL DO BACKFLIPS TRYING TO EAT ITSELF
YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF. DO IT NOW. EMBRACE GENDER BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. EVERY TRANS PERSON WILL BE 100% CHILL IF YOU DECIDE IT'S NOT FOR YOU, BUT IF IT IS FOR YOU MY GOD YOUR FUTURE SELF WILL THANK YOU
Also like...being a cis person who has done Serious Gender Ponders is good for you. It helps you understand your own brain and the world you inhabit so much butter than just reading about other people's genders.
