Text Reads: When my mother was pregnant with me, God told her she was having a boy. My parents were so certain they painted my room blue and prepared for a boy. When I was born a girl, they were confused but happy. Now that I'm fourteen and transitioning, they don't seem to be too happy about having a son. Submited by Anon

Text Reads: That moment when you are not out yet and small things like changing your bitmoji to male make you feel like king. Submitted by Daniel

Text Reads: When someone uses your preferred name and pronouns, or that nice guy in the shop says ‘alright, young man?’- that feeling is unbeatable, it’s the best feeling in the world. And I want it ALL the time. From everyone. Submitted by Oliver

Thank you Anon - we all need to hear it sometimes.

Text Reads: I cry because I don't feel man enough and then I feel like even less of a man for crying because I feel like I have to compensate for being trans by being hypermasculine so I end up crying even more. It's a vicious cycle. Submitted by Anon

Text Reads: It hurts when I'm told by my mum that most trans people know their gender at a young age. I feel like she's trying to invalidate me. I know I'm older, but I am not "most trans people.” Submitted by Anon

Thank you! If Quinn sees this then hopefully it’ll help them out! ^_^

Text Reads: Mom, I'm here to tell you that I didn't kill your daughter. I can't kill a person inside of me that never existed. Submitted by Anon

If you want to be a feminine trans man then you can be! You should be able to display your masculinity in anyway that makes you feel both happy and comfortable. If you want to wear accessories that are generally branded as feminine then do it because you like to! You are male, you don’t have to adhere to western society’s implied masculine fashion if it doesn’t feel right for you.

Text Reads: I'm not a princess, I'm the fucking king! Submitted by Anon

Text Reads: I want so badly to not hide anymore, especially to my relatives. But the most I can do right now is say that I'm gay, and I want them to know the real me, not the mask that I can take off. Submitted by Anon

Text Reads: As a closeted genderfluid person, it kills me that there is no word like aunt or uncle to be neutral. My sister had a baby a year ago and I'm dreading the day he figures out how to say ‘Auntie’ and pulls on my shirt. That's not who I am and I just want to feel whole and stop lying.

Text Reads: Being transgender means being 20 years old and never having met yourself. Submitted by Kers [ @kers-transition ]
