i wish that was me :(
it's weird how i didn't know i was trans growing up but looking back i was absolutely trans, if that makes sense.. like just because i didn't really know that you could be trans (which is another reason why media needs visible positive representations of trans people)
It's not actually weird at all that you didn't know. That was intentional! Hermeneutical injustice is the result of one group of people being excluded from shaping the means by which we all make sense of our lives.
Huh, TIL there's a term for this. It took me until I was 26 to figure out I was nonbinary because I didn't know it was a thing you could be. I knew about trans people, but I only knew of the binary MtF or FtM. I knew being a boy felt wrong at like 8, but no matter how I thought about it I didn't feel like a girl either. So I just chalked it up to disliking the things I was expected to be as a guy and that was that. Until I was talking about that experience with my partner.
Yeah, all we got when growing up was negative representation.
or no representation until that one out of nowhere slur that exists even though it literally has nothing to do with the plot looks in your direction arrested development
Ah, we were earlier than that growing up, but yes.
