"This past year is when I started exploring and discovering my gender.

 

I first came out during this past summer, and through out the year I have come out multiple times. I still feel very insecure and experience so much internalized transphobia. Sometimes I just feel I’m not good enough and I don’t deserve to be here because I’m trans and life is just too hard.

 

One of my biggest insecurities is that I feel like I look too feminine, but I know that that doesn’t invalidate me as a trans man.”
