Reply To: How Do You Know if You Are Trans?
I’ve read that when we first see someone, even before we recognize them as friend or foe, the brain decides if we are seeing a man or a woman. We are raised with one set of rules of interaction for dealing with men and another for women. These are cultural rules for the most part but reproduction can also be a part of it.
Each of these “rules” comes with it’s own set of positives and negatives. As trans we are more aware of these rules than others might be.
As for getting older, we all get older and we go through phases. I’m in my grandma stage and I enjoy being here. I enjoyed my last 30 years. There have been ups and downs but I’m still here and I’m thankful for that. Plus I have a wonderful daughter I’ve raised from 6 months old and she in now legally my daughter and I her mother according to her birth certificate. Something I never thought would happen for me.
When you know yourself, you will know where you belong. Don’t over think. Just listen to yourself.
