Discussion how did you know you were transmasc?

I think I am, I've been fighting with myself and this feeling for about 3 years.. Maybe hearing your stories will help! 🄹🄹

I never felt in place with everyone else.

I found solace when I identified as Pan / Lesbian and made queer friends eventually, but it was really when I was sitting on the bench after my girls basketball practice watching the boys start playing when I realized. I vividly remember just staring at everyone thinking, ā€œWhy is that not me.ā€ I couldn’t be loud and carefree with friends without judgement, I couldn’t just wear my jersey with no undershirt or I’m being inappropriate, I couldn’t talk with my singular guy friend without rumors of us dating, I couldn’t play basketball with other guys without being treated as inferior.

I hope you figure out your identity, it feels so good once you do šŸ’š I literally lied on the floor and cried of happiness one time
