if you don’t have the most stereotypical transition narrative it’s crazy how even other queer people will attack you for wanting to explore your gender identity 🫠

Anyone reading this… transitioning is not a set path. It is different for everyone, even if it may seem like there’s a “common” path. Remember that you transition for yourself, nobody else. ❤️

Everyones story is different. Mine went from being cis to non-binary to trans to genderfluid and then back to trans. Its okay to experiment and change. We are a species of constantly changing individuals.

Cis to tomboy to “I know something’s up but idk what it is” to transmasc to transman to transman but also ever identify that isn’t feminine on the scale. Also I want to say that it doesn’t matter how long it takes for you to come out and start transitioning, you don’t even have to do or tell anyone if you don’t want to. As someone who’s friends have used my not being out all the way as an excuse to basically call me a coward, it sucks to think that there’s a set timeline

do NOT go on the internet while attempting to transition. do not touch tiktok, discord, twitter, reddit, /tttt/, tumblr, or bluesky. doesnt even matter if ur binary or nonbinary, your transition will be throughly scrutinized

Exactly!! Changing labels are better seen as milemarkers along a journey rather than permanent stopping points!

I think a warning is fair + avoiding transmed or fetish spaces is always good, but closing off the internet entirely is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. online spaces and friends can make great support systems, especially for those in less populated or more right-wing places. participating in multiple spaces rather than just one is a good idea tho since it helps you to know when one space is Not Ok
