How did you find out you were LGBTQIA+?

Just be yourself dude. Fuq them and their ideologies of what "A Man" should be.

3 wars and these Bastards can't tell me on how to be a man.

I'm a Well Known FAGGOT and that's the end of it

that might be simply because you're young but to hell with what they say anyway

As far as being trans goes, it was pretty natural. Mostly just a conclusion based on the sum of its parts. Once I fully understood what being trans was, I was able to comfortably assess my own situation and how it applied to my life and my thoughts and feelings. It was more of an "Oh... huh. That explains a lot." moment than anything. Once I was able to hear more about what being transgender is and means, my identity was clear to me. There was no crisis nor was there any turmoil internally; I didn't try to deny it to myself. I was happy to finally "get it", if that makes sense.

Sexuality, though, is even more unremarkable. I'm attracted to women and always have been.

This was my exact reaction to finding out I was autistic in 2021... Everything just clicked. All my struggles, my hardships, my hyperfocus on things that interest me... It all made sense in a flood, and I was overwhelmed for a couple of weeks, just connecting all the dots.

I don't remember what made me realize I was trans, other than it sorta came to me at a young age at least partially thanks to playing as girls in video games awakening something in me.

And I'm gay because girls pretty.

always crushed on androgynous characters like naoto and haruhi, so when i made a new friend...she kept reminding me of my fave characters. i was 16, and it was near valentines, when me and 2 of her childhood friends all wanted to ask her out. i was going to sleep every night going "omg i feel like that way towards a girl." i didn't get to hang out w her on valentines, instead she had the most awkward camping trip ever with one of her friends, and figured out that she was aroace. she told me about it and i even told her before we graduated high school, and we were both like "neither of us are mentally ok enough to date bro."
