IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I DID THIS EH???
HERE WE GO AGIAN.

Remember that just because you identify with a different gender than you did when you first started does not mean it's less valid. I started thinking I was a trans man, then found androgyne worked better, and finally found I was a demiboy. Your gender identity may change, and that's okay! You're gender identity may not change, and that's okay!

Exploring different genders and finding your true identity does not invalidate your identity.

If your pronouns change that's okay too!

If you find a name you like more than the first one you picked, that's okay!

Being trans/nb and having so many possibilities means that sometimes things will change. How you see yourself might change.

Remember that your pronouns are yours. No one can tell you that they aren't legitimate. If you use neopronouns or nounself pronouns, go for it! They're yours!

There's no such thing as a 'fake gender'.

If your family disputes your gender remember that they don't get to pick and choose who you are. You are not their doll. You are not a toy for them to play with. You are an individual. You are you. You decide who you are. You make the rules for you.

Know what you're willing to put up with. Know when to distance yourself from people who don't support you.

Know that people come and go. Sometimes friends will leave. And family is not a constant. Remember that the most important family is the one you build yourself. The one you've chosen. The friends, partners, and lovers you surround yourself and bond with are more important than a family that happens to share genetics.

And remember to build a support group. Whether it be in real life or online. Find people who will support you through your transition, or will listen to you vent if your trapped in the closet. Don't feel pressured to come out if you feel unsafe. You're safety and health are number one. Take care of yourself. Know that you are not alone. Know that there is always someone who cares. Someone who will listen.
