lgbts that follow me, how did you realize you were lgbt

also when

for me:
found thing about it online and was like “holy shit you can do that?” and realized crying yourself to sleep praying to wake up as a girl isn’t normal male behavior

figured out i was into men around the same age? thought i was just bi until a few months ago though. tbh while i had lots of signs i intentionally repressed it until i was done transitioning so ive only recently been processing it and wow a lot of my friendships were rlly crushes

still not 100% sure if im not bi but im pretty sure im not. idk. everything i’ve woken with women has either felt wrong or i intentionally didn’t do anything with them or make any moves. like i thought i was aromantic for a while too but, uhhh, i am most definitely not lmao

with trans shit i was also like weirdly self aware before i knew it was a thing. like i remember actively not doing things that would make people “find out”, but that kinda backfired when i came out bc i was pretty good at outwardly not showing signs lmfao.

just realized i never actually specified aged. was late 13yo where i figured out being trans was a thing and that i was trans. prolly like 10-11 where dysphoria got super bad and cried myself to sleep type things. although had signs before that.
