I have a girlfriend who is trans and I knew her in the “before time” before she transitioned. When she talks about when she was a kid she refers to herself as “when I was a little girl”.
It must be so confusing for those kids. Their society, parents, relatives tell them one thing. But in their head they know they are another. My heart goes out to them.
Yeah. I’m married to a non binary person (we’re Poly, hence the girlfriend) and they didn’t change their name or gender markers until after we were married. But them describing to me about their childhood, their parents (who I adore but still struggle with the whole gender thing) and everything… Seeing their baby pictures they’re like “THAT’S NOT A GIRL! THAT’S TOTALLY IN BETWEEN!” and they’re right.
I’m just happy they can truly be themselves with me.

She was always a girl.
