Questions for people who identify as transgender.
So I have a school assignment where I am supposed to ask questions about someone who isn't like me. I chose transgender because I do not know many people who identify as transgender and I don't want to accidentally offend someone I know so I chose to ask these questions on this board because most of the people here seem very nice.
1. When did you realize that you were transgender? 2. What kind of impact has being transgender had on your relationships (any type-romantic, friendship, family) 3. Why do some people prefer singular pronouns (he/she) and others prefer plural pronouns (they/them) 4. Do you think being transgender affected your sexuality? 5. What is one thing that you wish all cis-gendered people knew.
I knew I was trans when I kept having anxiety attacks when I was about to have sex with my boyfriend. Of course, as a girl, guys are supposed to stick in you, but I didn't want that, moreover, I wanted to stick it him. If that makes sense. I've also had gender dysphoria since I was a kid, so there's that. I plan on telling my family when my transit...... 2 reply
I realized I was transgender when my cousin who is FtoM transgender came out and told me it was okay to be transgender. I was always upset by the social stigma of me being a girl and I needed to act a certain way and fall in love with guys only my whole life. I never felt like I was a female despite being born one but I never had the word to explai...... reply
1) Almost my whole life, I've wanted to be a guy. Even when I was younger, i wanted to be masculine and I just looved it when anyone questioned my gender.
2)Only my internet friends know about my gender, and I've only told one of them exactly. I just give subtle hints to the others.
3)I'm not really sure how to answer this question but as far as I...... reply

1) if i look back on my life, there were hints when i was about 6, when i fully realised i was 13/14
2) I definitely grew more distant with relatives (not out to them), friends didn't really change at all but relationshi...... reply
1. I kinda always knew I was a boy without knowing being trans was a thing. i first talked about it to my mom when I was 5, then I just "forgot". But I never felt right in my feminine body. Around my 16 I did some research and I found out about all those different gender identity. However I don't really label myself as transgender because of some i...... 1 reply
1. I guess I ‘realized’ I was trans around 3rd/4th grade. I just remember meeting this girl who was a tomboy and thinking, ‘so it’s okay to be masculine?’ After presenting as such for several years I kinda just understood that I wanted to be seen as a man, through and through.
2. Well, it doesn’t really impact my relationships that muc...... reply
1. Always was a tomboy, always wanted to be one of the boys growing up, but I didn't learn the word transgender until I was like 13. It made so much sense and it felt like I could finally put a word to how I felt. But, there wasn't a lot of trans visibility growing up and a lot of hate and just ignorance was associated with being trans. As an impre...... 1 reply
1. My experience with being transgender is that I didn't fully realize it until a year or so after I graduated high school, and it was really more of a slow process of adding things up. I knew since I was a kid that some things didn't really line up and always chalked that up to me having my own style. (since gender and sexuality were always presen...... reply
