ever since i was little i didn't really cared about gender as much (even though my mother did A LOT), i was always forced to follow gender norms (for example, blue is for boys and pink is for girls) i always played with barbie dolls or monster high dolls, i don't know that was the only girlish thing i liked. i still have a full box of them and sometimes i like to take a deep dive into nostalgia land and see what kind of dolls i had. but when i was 10-12 some stuff felt weird, this was the beginning where i started to use the internet often (i mean back then when i was little i always sat on my parents computer, playing any kind of flash games that interested me, but i didn't resolve myself around social media. i was only allowed to play any kind of video game there) i started to use discord often, instagram, snapchat at some moments, then tiktok. (of course i would) i honestly miss the old days where i played flash games all the time, it was really fun : (.
but anyways, i started to realize that i never thought about my gender as much. like sometimes i would just wear my own stuff usually, never wear as much girly clothes though. i would wear girly stuff sometimes, but it would be revealing in some ways which started to really make me uncomfortable when i grew up more. it was weird figuring out what i was. i was usually the awkward kid back then and didn't really socialize that much, i was like.. a scene kid almost? i had an emo ass haircut back then and honestly it kinda popped off, i wanted to be like one of those scene girls when i was 10. people usually made fun of me for it though, so i stopped styling my hair like that when i turned 12. i really wish i didn't care about what people thought about me when i was little, i was an extremely anxious nervewreck. when i turned 12 i started to experiment with more outfits and noticed i liked the masculine side more. i started to wear baggy stuff a lot, like baggy jeans, a lot of boy shorts, a LOT of band t-shirts (i still have a lot..) plus comfortable sweaters. i started to acknowledge that i felt uncomfortable being called a girl, i didn't know what to do about it, i was stuck thinking about it everyday. i was scared to realize the fact i was actually a dude because my family was so strict on that stuff (they do not mind the sexuality part, just the gender stuff)
so one day, i just went like "fuck it, i'm a guy.." and here i am now, still identifying that. i am fully nonbinary, but i don't mind being called a dude. being a trans guy is honestly hard, finding the right clothes for you, plus the chest issues as well (i have fat ass boobs and i hate it man, i do not mind it though, i just want people to acknowledge that i'm a dude) and mostly trying to convince your parents to get the clothes you want to wear. i remember my parents saying it was just a phase, then why the hell am i still like this? they treated me like i was dealing with some kind of mental disease, which i wasn't infact. i was trying to figure out what term i am comfortable with. i still am like this and its difficult, but not as difficult anymore. i am still closetted though, telling my parents about me being transgender will be a hard thing for me.
