Hey! I started finding out what being trans actually means about half a year ago, and as I look into it more and more, I am realizing just how much of that stuff relates to me, or sounds like what I want to be, and I really wanna look further into it.
I was wondering what are some good resources, stories of trans people or other possible signs, that would help me answer my question.
My main issue is that I do not like my body. I always thought it was because I am fat, but now that it could be something else, I have no idea where to look and see which one it is, which is something that has really been bothering me lately. I also don’t like quite a few aspects of “male” society, but again, that could just be normal.
I just want to know who I am, I wanna be able to question myself and find out things about myself I would’ve not found on my own
Please don’t reply with “you are trans” or “you aren’t trans”, I want the only person that answers that question to be myself.
I’d just appreciate some help, some resources, something to read up on to find out what’s wrong with me
For me, what helped initially was not to focus on whether I was trans or not, but on specific questions like whether I wanted to start HRT.
Because when I read the list of changes it caused, none of them seemed bad, and many seemed really desirable!
That helped reduce my dilemma from a complicated question of “identity” (“Am I trans? Am I nonbinary?” etc), to a more specific choice I could proceed with.
same here! the labels aren’t the important part, it’s often easier to focus on the specifics first. i’ve currently settled on the non-binary label as a way to not decide, since it can basically mean anything and the label is likely to change in the future when i know more about myself
