"I am an AFAB nonbinary person that realized my gender as an adult. I always lived my life as cis because in the area and time
I grew up nothing other than "boy" and "girl" had been heard of, and trans people had no visibility. I was always quiet and insecure. When I was around 23 years old I came across a gender setting
for a website where there were three options: "Male", "Female" and "Other" with the option to specify. Other..? That feels strangely comforting. Suddenly checking the "female" box which I had
been so used to, felt so wrong. I took the next few years to further explore what I needed, and realized just recently at the age of 26 that the insecurity I had felt was just gender dysphoria.
Today I'm waiting to transition medically. I guess my point with this is that not every trans person has their identity figured out from childhood and should not feel like it's too late to come
out or transition."
