Hey non-cis folks of the fediverse

We'd like to know which things you wish you had heard, read, seen, or been told about gender when you were younger that might have helped you to realise you weren't cis sooner

The ones we wish we had been told are:

• If you want to be a girl, you can just be a girl.
• Cis boys don't feel uncomfortable in their gender and wish they could be a girl.
• Cis boys don't wish they were trans, so that they could transition too.
• Nobody else can tell you what your gender is: you have to discover it for yourself.

What would yours be?

Let's try and help a few current and future eggs together

I don't know who needs to read or hear this today, but you DON'T need a formal diagnosis of anything to be trans

This is only required to access gender-affirming care or update your birth certificate in places with outdated healthcare systems, like the UK NHS.

Only you can truly know your gender

PSA

You don't have to have your gender figured out or know what term fits you best.

And all the terms are just descriptive, not prescriptive.

If you want to try different pronouns, a different gender presentation, a different name, a different voice, HRT, or anything else, you can just DO that.

And we'll be right there to support you

PSA

You DON'T need to have ANY of the below to be trans:

* Noticeable gender dysphoria.
* Strong dislike of your genitalia, body, voice etc.
* A desire for HRT or surgery.
* A medical diagnosis.

It's enough to feel that your gender doesn't match the one you were arbitrarily assigned at birth.

You don't need anything else to be valid
