cheers to all my handsome bros and cute sisters! this day is for us and us alone! (unless you're genderfluid or nonbinary or something too!)
ever since i was little, i never fully identified as a girl. i wore dinosaur shirts and pajamas over pink frilly things, and happy skipped over the barbie shelf for some power rangers. i was told i would grow out of it, i would fall for boys someday, i would change my mind and have a beautiful wedding and a dress.
they were partially right.
when i was sixteen, i made my first, true step into the world came out as bi. i was learning all about the lgbt community and trying my hardest to keep up learning what i could. i never knew there was a word for how i felt. my family dismissed me as a tomboy. friends did the same- i even lost most of them out of fear i would crush on them. it hurt but i knew i had to keep moving forward for myself.
it was a few years ago that i learned what genderfluid was. i couldn't believe there was something that i finally found close enough to describing my situation. i went by girl and boy pronouns for a while, thinking about what i wanted to do next. i still didn't feel comfortable being a girl, being called a girl. but for now, it would do.
it was last year i came out to my friends as transgender. because i gradually eased into it, they did as well and were quick to support me and worked their best to use the right pronouns. i dropped a lot of nicknames (including the one for this account!) and started using haru instead. even my sister was (and still is) getting used to this.
i promise, you will find good friends who will always support you- if they don't, they aren't worth their title of friend anyways. people will always love YOU. if they're good people, they will love you no matter what you identify as. so tell them! learn about yourself! know your limits too, but i promise it's so much easier when you come out to those you love- and they will be proud of you. you should be proud of you, too.
and if not?
then, i am.
happy transgender day of visibility everyone, and celebrate you! you've come so far, dealt with so much, so this whole day is to loving you and being happy with who you are. enjoy it. i'm proud of you and i love you. ♥

how cool! when i was really little, younger than i can remember, i always felt more boyish than a girl. i remember sometimes seeing things about being gay or trans when i got older, but was never allowed to know more about it- not because my mom was homophobic, but because she felt it wouldn't be right to be so involved in something that i clearly wasn't. at least it worked out! she loves me for who i am, though i haven't come out as transgender to her, but i know when i do she'll still accept me because she has for everything else. (she's already asked about why i wear "boy clothes" and my binder and i nearly panicked so bad omg it was such a close call)
that's awesome though. cheers! keep pushing forward and remember to love yourself no matter what. <3
thank you though! i wanted to tell a part of my story before the day was over :)

I was always a tomboy growing up, but in the last few years I've been feeling trans and it upsets me. Why? Because I'm not. I am a straight cos chick and I know that.
but I have had so many people address me as sir over the telephone because I have a deep voice, and in real life too, because I am 6', have broad shoulders and a bigger build in general, and have, again, a lower voice. Many times I have turned around and people who address me as sir quickly correct themselves, but the damage is done. I feel like I have a sliver of a taste of what mtf transgenders must feel like.
a lady came in a couple of days ago and I had already closed down Starbucks and turned the lights off. However, the rest of super target was still brightly lit, as it stays open 2 hours after Starbucks closes. I had my back to her cleaning, and she asked "Sir, are you closed?" I turned around and said "Uh, yes ma'am?" Fully expected her to at least acknowledge her mistake. Nope. Gave me a glare and walked off. Sorry you can't get your coffee at 9:15 p.m. bitch.
ANYWAY SORRY ABOUT THE RANT but I am SUPER glad your sister and friends are taking your transition well! I hope your romantic situation works out for the better too. <3

I'm happy for you that you came out and have support ^^ It takes a lot to do so, but when you're finally able to come out it also feels só relieved.
It's about 3 years for me that I came out as trans, and it was one of the best things I could do. It's so much better to finally being able to be yourself.
Good luck and all the best to you ^^ You look adorable btw
