im curious bc i feel like on the subreddit there were a lot more potential or actual youngshits. Id consider myself having been a potential youngshit as i found the board at 13 and considered diy but just didn’t do it bc im faketrans and assumed i was a trender and making it up. i did try and failed to get hrt through the official routes too though, i just didn’t really think i could trust myself with my own choices. i would have had a better life if id stayed on the board and kept thinking about diy tbh.

    knew for sure at 13 as soon as I found out trans people existed basically, didn’t find out about DIY until nearly 16.

    I might be the only person here who genuinely did not even consider it a possibility before I eventually did

      how do you mean? It felt the same for me. There wasn’t any stages of increasing troonness. I just flipped as if becoming brainwashed and immediately wanted to transition and felt intense doubt but still the motivation to transition. I guess I didn’t value what I had before at all. Was it the same for you?

        I’m the same way. Wanted to be a man my whole life, then suddenly a switch flipped and I became suicidally dysphoric. Who knows? Maybe it was one of those cosmic rays that flipped a single switch in my brain, like that Mario 64 speedrun.

        It was genuinely blind luck for me, that’s why I’ve been so sure I’m faketrans the whole time, I didn’t figure it out naturally

                Thank you. im a parent luckshit compared to the majority here. Sure they didn’t let me transition but they still were my parents. One of them has come around and the other is still disgusted though.

        Extreme anti-LGBT propaganda by my parents and peers IG. I had a femboy phase when I was 16-17 so i Just did realize it slower. but yea u dont have to realize it at 12 months old or anything.

            Yeah sadly I’m a genetic anti-luckshit… my dad showed me a picture of him once as a child and he looked exactly like me… so yeah… I’m fucked to be simply honest

          Same! Omg were so similar… I remember as a child how my father called me a faggot and insulted and cat called gay people on the streets… then I had a very right-wing phase starting at 14 year old where I became so hateful towards queer people and was full on the entire anti-trans wave of the 2020s and it messed me up soooooo much to be honest!

              Ah yes… I was so based for being the most bigoted piece of shit that everybody hated and was completely indoctrinated by the MAGA bullshit and totally turned off any critical thinking skills while thinking that I am being… ahem “intellectual” ahem… yeah 💀

    Me… I knew at 11 and then just repressed until 16… I only started hrt at 18… if I had come out then things could’ve been so much better… maybe id be shorter… my voice wouldnt be so awful… it was foolish not to come out then…

        I was in a weird quasi-femboy coper state. I only started at like 17/18 because I was autistically focused on endocrinology and I made my brother poon our and he asked me if I wanted to troon out.
