Being trans is basically the process of constantly remembering events that make you say "how the fuck did I not know sooner."

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Thursday, 26-Jan-2023 04:01:11 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @SymTrkl @CordiallyChloe Funny thing...my favorite Ranma episodes were all the early ones where Ranma seems to periodically enjoy being Ranma-chan and taunts Akane about being a hotter girl than her. I started losing interest really quickly when I realized he didn't actually like being Ranma-chan. Yep, my little non-binary ass just sitting there wistfully sighing at how I'd love to be able to change back and forth but spend most of my time as a girl...nothing to learn there.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Thursday, 26-Jan-2023 04:02:14 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @SymTrkl Point of order. I *knew* pretty soon. But that was years before you could be non-binary, so I *made myself un-know* it.

But, yeah, when you're like "IDK; there's too much boy when I look in the mirror, but I don't want to be a woman, I think I'm half and half?" and that's not even a thing and so nobody knows what to do or say with that...

Jenny :butterfly_transgender: (symtrkl@eldritch.cafe)'s status on Thursday, 26-Jan-2023 04:08:00 JST Jenny :butterfly_transgender: @roadriverrail Good point, while I was going "yeah, but I'm not like one of those weirdos they make fun of on TV" you were going "guess I don't exist."

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Thursday, 26-Jan-2023 04:25:14 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @SymTrkl LOL! Seriously, when my friend said "Would you please be my honor guard at my wedding? You're the closest thing to a female friend I have." it was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to me. I didn't wear a dress but I did wear velvet tights and a tunic. And it was my first time wearing heels.

I first read the manga and there are a lot more moments there where they enjoy being a girl and playing with femininity, but often feels conflicted about it because of expectations. So there's more transfeminine there.
That said, there's a good trans masc reading there too - he is a boy whether his body is female or not, and everyone knows it.
