You're 13. All you should care about now is to enjoy your youth instead of your sexual identity.

@linuxares I am going to be honest with you, many trans people know they trans by their teens. Most don’t know, often start questioning their identity by their teens. Even so, just them be to question and play with their identity. Teenage years is literally the years when one should be playing with their identity and finding themselves.

I have a transfromer in my house when i was a teen. Am i trans also?

When I think of trans - I think of transformers

Woop congrats!

@linuxares it's a gender identity, not a sexual identity, and not caring about it would be easier if our society didn't push gender roles from birth.

damn, that's crazy.

Wait, the f are 13 year olds here??

@Lilith Valentine Yeah sure, but 13? I think people should enjoy their time when they're that young and maybe once their brain starts to mature better around the age of 16. It's probably a more suitable age. It's just my opinon however.

@linuxares at least you acknowledge that is just your opinion but still, pretty much all trans people end up waiting anyways because that’s literally the only thing they can do. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t express themselves and ask for respect for their identity. Teen self-discovery shouldn’t be discouraged.

I am also just going to point out the hypocrisy of no one ever saying this kind of stuff to cishet teens. No one tells cis teens they are too young to understand their gender. No one tells heterosexual teens they are too young to understand their sexuality. Simply put, the only time anyone says a teen is too young to experiment and explore their identity is when that identity is anything other than cisgender and heterosexual

@Lilith Valentine Since ROGD is a new thing. Research in to it is still on going debate.
Heterosexuality is the norm, how humanity have grown. It's the basic status quo of nature as well.

Please don't feel I'm against transexuals. I'm not. I just think to many throw out they're trans like it's nothing serious. That it isn't a big life changing thing. How many feel they're trans are actually just queer? And such.

I won't fill in this blog with my opinions. If Scott feel like a transsexual, good for Scott!

I also find it interesting that we're perfectly fine with kids undergoing chemotherapy that is damaging and invasive (but ultimately life-saving) but people don't want kids to be able to choose if they want to go through hormone therapy treatment that is not invasive, not damaging, reversible if the child chooses they don't actually want to transition and is also life-saving.

For me, transition has not been insanely life-altering outside of greatly improving my mental health and relationship with my friends. I'm 2 months on hormones and could easily just stop now if I choose to, or I could stop in 6 months if I choose to, or I could stop in 6 years if I choose to. It's not like I'm trapping myself forever into this pathway and it's not like other people younger than me are trapping themselves either. There is always the option to opt-out and I've never been pressured into starting hormone therapy, if anything I've had to take it upon myself to fight to get the treatment I need.

Also, I don't really see the "maybe trans kids are just queer, not trans" theory as holding any real weight. I'm trans BECAUSE I'm queer, because I'm a lesbian. Not in spite of my queerness. Being a gay man doesn't make you inherently feminine or more likely to be trans, I know some very manly gay men, being a lesbian woman doesn't make you inherently masculine or more likely to be trans, I know some very feminine lesbian women. The idea that trans kids are actually just confused queer kids just really doesn't make sense if you think about it for long enough.

When I first came out on this website, someone told me "maybe you're just a feminine gay man" and that statement is absolutely not true, I'd literally rather die than live my life as a feminine gay man. When I thought I was cis I was basically never attracted to men, and even though I'm a woman, I'm not what you would call "conventionally feminine", I'm more butch. I prefer jeans to skirts, I don't really wear makeup, etc, it's the same for many other butch women. This doesn't make me less of a woman and it definitely does make me a "feminine gay man".

Trans people know they are trans, even if they don't have a full understanding of the topic or have the language to communicate it effectively, and some people who think they are trans end up detransitioning, and that's perfectly fine. I can tell you from experience and from the experience of many other people I know, trans people know who they are.
