@Kumi-Hoshi it took me years to realize that non-binary is on the transsexual spectrum, I dunno what was so complicated about it to my younger brain xD

I have a functioning brain now, so Iโm going to write a response to this, and itโs going to be long and includes a mention of what would be considered SA/SH. You have been warned.
This is also a really vague explanation that doesnโt really go through the whole process of finding a name, coming out to my mother multiple times, coming out to my friends and grandparents, etcโฆI grew up without a father figure (as mentioned prior in a response to Mr. Tree), and was exposed to more โfeminineโ activities and behaviour throughout my upbringing. I never really noticed I had dysphoria until around 7th grade (2018/2019 I think) when I started to sort of experiment with what genders I was attracted to, finding that for a time, I was attracted to both, so I settled on bisexual for a bit. This has obviously changed over the years, but it was a start. I โcame outโ to my mother as bisexual shortly after, and she told me I shouldnโt believe everything I see on the internet, concerned mother of course, but she was 100% correct. I had no clue what sexual orientation was until I experienced/witness some certain things (Donโt ask for details, as I cannot elaborate at all for a multitude of reasons ranging from personal to legal).
On a lighter note (hereโs your final warning, donโt read this if mentions of SA can trigger anything for you)
one of the first things that actually made me feel more feminine was when I was groped in the chest area in 8th grade (2019/2020). At that point, I was going by a different name (donโt feel like saying it) and preferring more feminine things, but leaned closer to non-binary because I wasnโt entirely sure yet. I actually recently got to reconnect with the friend who did this, we stayed pretty close since I knew it was a joke, and it inadvertently spurred a part of who I am now. He doesnโt remember it, but since itโs basically a โcore memoryโ for me, I remember it clearer than I can see with my own two eyes.Trigger warning is no longer in effect.
The reason Iโm uncomfortable with my birth sex (male) is sort of complicated, but also basically entirely explained in the last few paragraphs. And about the โtrans females donโt really have the issues of periodsโ: We donโt get the actual period, with the bleeding and stuff, but we can experience symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and/or premenstrual dysphoria disorder (PMDD), which, depending on hormone levels and who you are: can be quite extreme. I call it a period when I experience PMS/PMDD because I donโt feel like explaining it. They behave the same way as a normal period, just without physical cramping in the lower extremities and without the blood, though blood output is slightly increased based on my experience (I get bloody noses sometimes because something in my septum is messed up). I think that should be everything answered with as much detail as I can possibly add to explain everything. If I missed something please let me know. And, since you made it this far, go get yourself a nice cold glass of water. <3
