@hormonedoc4u: "You just know" isn't much help when you don't. After 30+ years in transgender care, here's what people are really describing when they talk about gender identity, and why you don't need a perfect explanation to take someone seriously. If you're questioning, start with your own experience. 💜

V :

A fellow trans man said this: don't ask yourself if being a woman makes you miserable; ask yourself if being a man makes you happy. That REALLY changed my perspective, and helped me to feel less like an imposter. Being a man makes me happy! meow meow!

Van_Armageddon :

the way I described it to my mom and sister was "it's almost like I was walking around with a rock in my shoe, or clothes that are too tight. but now I feel comfortable"

Jay :

Dr Dave you are such a light thank you for all your work!!!

Mira.in.motion :

it took me a lot of time to finally get the math right. but when I saw a clear pattern it all started to make sense. I thought I was cisgender for decades. then I thought maybe I was non-binary. but as I looked back and saw my soul pulling towards womanhood for the whole time. and when she got more permission during my non-binary phase, she just kept going toward womanhood. I couldn't figure out what people were talking about when they said that they feel a certain gender. but after enough time I realized that I do feel that pull of gender, but just to one I hadn't planned on. and right before my 50th birthday, I discovered that I'm trans. and now I'm determined to live past 100, because I better not have spent over half of my life as the wrong gender.

Patrick ⭐ :

I probably stating hrt within 2 weeks I hope I feel better after

Keiser :

I just Know that I'm Agender (not non-binary i hate being referred to as such it erases my Identity), I don't have a Gender therefore I'm Genderless I have never understood Gender as we know it and refer to as a society.

SemiCollin :

I know for me, my most immediate thoughts align with my gender, but if I try any deeper analyzing it only leads to me making my imposter syndrome worse because gender isn’t a thing I can describe, only what feels right.

Davina Lloyd Bond :

I didn't come out as trans until I was 55! I kind of always knew something was different but kept trying to deny it!

Living my life as a woman makes me wake up filled with joy at the day ahead. I feel like I have a purpose and can see a future. Then experiences also make me feel like a woman. Like experiencing male mysoginy which is a negative, makes me feel euphoric. ❤️❤️❤️

Elsie :

As a trans woman I have no idea what it means to feel like a woman, but the shape my body is supposed to be has always been crystal clear. As a result, I have the rather odd experience of finally deciding I'm probably a trans woman 2 years after bottom surgery 😅🤷‍♀️
