How was I when I first came out /realized my identity? I realized it at camp 2 summers ago when there was this transgender girl at camp I asked how she realized she was transgender and she said she always knew but subconsciously it made me look back on the signs I showed subconsciously throughout my life.
What signs did I show?
Like the fact I had reoccurring dreams I was a guy and enjoyed them and didn't like my body sometimes but at the same didn't want it to permanently change. I preferred dressing in tank tops and hated that people told me to cross my legs whenever I wore a skirt or dress.
My identity? Demiboy I usually always feel like a boy even when I feel like a girl but my gender is always binary just not always the same binary I never feel agender or other nonbinary gender identities just either a girl and always a boy it's because of that I prefer he/him pronouns because I would feel more comfortable with they/them pronouns if my gender was less binary and I always feel like a boy and the boy part of my gender is stronger then the girl part of me.
Was there someone you first told? If so who? It was my mom shortly after I started questioning it at camp I wanted her opinion. My mom already said I was like a son so I wanted her opinion. She accepted me but I don't think she understood entirely I don't think she still understands I've told other people but I'm not out online or to the rest of my mom's family because they are kind of prejudice.
Do you have any advice for your younger self? I guess I would tell myself as a kid to not care what people think and play with boy toys if I want to as a kid I cared to much what people thought and tried to play with girl toys but i couldn't get into it and never played as a child I feel like I didn't have much of a childhood because of it.
Do you have any advice for anyone facing something similar? None that I can think of.
