How old were you? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

How old were you when you began questioning/considering you weren't "normal"? I'm in my 30s and almost all at once feel like I'm not sure what I am in most demensions and struggling to figure out what I feel about anything. I've been married, happily for a while, which adds a little to the confusion.

Started questioning a few years ago in my early 30s. In my small hometown, gender norms are heavily ingrained and body dysphoria just isn't a thing that people talked about.

I've never liked looking at myself in a mirror. As a kid I would play with and put on my grandma's jewelry until my family started making fun of me. I had a major obsession with any video game where you could be a girl.

If I had known earlier and transitioned, I probably would've been so much happier. But doing it now would just complicate too many things.
