Hmmm lies she/her Posted January 2 Posted January 2 It's okay to be scared to come out even if you have perfectly supportive parents! I was too! I will say though, even though it's really scary to come out, it's soooo liberating to finally do so. When I did it, my heart was racing, my breathing was heavy, and I was shaking, but I did it, and after that, I felt so free. It's worth it, and getting it over with is definitely great. 5

Honors Spectral Image She/her Posted January 2 Posted January 2 2 hours ago, CoderDrag0n8 said: What rigid ideas? She has a very narrow view of what being trans means so she thinks that all trans people are ftm or mtf and she doesn’t understand nonbinary people at all. She also thinks that every single trans person has to have crippling depression 25/8 and that every trans person knows they are trans since the day they can understand what gender is 2

Hmmm lies she/her Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Alrighty, here we go. Please let me know if I should rewrite it in a different tone or format or something like that. Stuff in parenthesis is stuff directly from me, rather than from a neutral point of view. Spoiler What is being trans? Being trans is to identify as a gender that is not what one was assigned at birth. This can take many different forms, but will typically manifest itself to a person by them wanting to be a different gender than their assigned one. Many transgender people feel gender dysphoria, a sense of distress about their assigned gender. For example, a trans woman might feel uncomfortable wearing masculine clothes, or feel uncomfortable with their body if it is not feminine. There's also the inverse, which just about every trans person feels, gender euphoria, a feeling of happiness relating it one's gender identity. A trans woman wearing feminine clothes, or being seen as a woman by others could evoke gender euphoria. Don't trans people always know that they're trans? This is, in fact, rarely the case, for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons include: Not knowing about trans people Not understanding what their feelings mean. For example, a trans woman might feel frustrated with being seen as male, but not realize that this could mean that they aren't a man. (Such as myself, for part of my life) Having an incorrect belief that all trans people know they're trans Ironic, isn't it? A trans person often thinks they aren't trans because they assume they would already know if they were trans. (Again, me for a long time) Not having realized their own desire to have a different gender identity Ever be somewhere really hot, and you don't really notice it until someone mentions it, and then it becomes unbearable? It's somewhat similar to this. Once someone realizes that they feel gender dysphoria, it typically gets a lot worse. And there's plenty more. Doesn't every trans person have crippling depression 24/7? N-no? No they don't? (For example, I'm feeling perfectly fine right now). For another example, I'm pretty sure the Wachowski sisters, the creators of The Matrix are doing fine. While trans people do have a higher rate of depression than cis people, it is certainly not universal. Gender euphoria and the minimization of gender dysphoria are great for the mental health of trans people. This can be done with transition efforts, which I'll go over down below Transition efforts? Transitioning is taking measures to feel closer to one's gender identity. This can take many forms. Social transition Social transition can take forms such as telling people to call one by a new name and pronouns, as well as wearing more gender-affirming clothing. Legal transition This is simply changing one's legal name and gender (simple in most Democratic states), Physical transition Physical transition is changing ones body. This can be done in two main ways, hormone therapy and surgery. Based on the context of this essay, I'll explain the way feminizing gender care works. Hormonal treatment of estrogen will cause one to grow breasts, and have a more feminine body shape. With the exception of breasts and possible infertility, all effects from estrogen therapy can be reversed by ceasing the taking of the hormones. Meanwhile, surgery is typically used to change genitals, and is done more rarely. This surgery is only legal for adults in the US. Non-binary people? (I'm not nonbinary myself, so I don't have all of the knowledge, but I'll do my best) Non-binary people are people who don't identify as male or female. They instead identify with no gender, both, or something else entirely. They might use they/them pronouns, or a mix between they/them pronouns and gendered pronouns. To understand them, one must understand that gender is more complex than a simple binary. A non-binary person might feel uncomfortable being seen as any gender, or might like being seen as either gender. Some non-binary people, genderfluid people, have shifting gender identities, identifying as different genders on different days or times. 2
