that last post, my Gender Awakening went like
ex gf: hey uh im not really a boy. like i dont always feel like one is that ok
me: YOU CAN DO THAT???
like i knew trans people existed but i didnt really have a frame of reference for like, teenagers being trans or that you could really be nonbinary in any way. i thought if i wanted to trans my gender id need a ton of invasive surgeries right away and that was my only option and that scared me. but being told someone can just Be Trans blew my mind and opened up this entire world to me
