    When the person sitting next to you in the cafeteria tells you "You just destroyed my heteronormative worldview. I see a guy but I hear a female voice. It's nice when something like that happens." because they heard you talk on the phone. And you don't really want to talk to strangers about your gender identity but internally you say "well, actually, I'm neither ..." and are really happy that people have trouble pinning down your gender.

    You have to choose whether to spend half a years worth of full time wages or live with feeling anxious, self hatred, and dysphoria for another year.

    When you have a "dysphoria playlist": songs that cheer you up when you feel dysphoria.

    You know you're trans when... (nonbinary edition)
    • Someone starts talking to you online and you ask "pronouns?" not "m or f"
    • You hear "binder" and don't think of school supplies
    • You have a keyboard shortcut saved so you don't have to actually type out the explanation/definition of nonbinary every. single. time.
    • You use "y'all" even though you're not from the south
    • You've adopted and/or created gender-neutral alternatives to "sister from another mister/brother from another mother", "ladies and gentlemen", and "you're the man"
    • You've been told "that's not a real things. That's a Tumblr gender"
    • The primary reason you started watching Ouran High School Host Club is because Haruhi is canonically nonbinary/agender

    When you feel a weird connection to a friend who has your chosen name, as if they were your double or twin. (Tell me I'm not the only one)

    When you are skeptic towards the blue or pink color of the bow that people put on the gate of the house when someone is born. "It's not your last word, anything might happen."

    When one barista knows you as [female name], the other barista knows you as [male name], and one day they're at the same time behind the bar counter, in front of at least twenty people, and they start to talk to you...

    I actually have heard of some trans men using breast cancer running in their family as an excuse to get insurance to pay for top surgery.

    When you wish for more facial hair. At my current rate I'll probably be 2-3 years on T before I can grow anything. Grow, baby chin hairs. Grow!
