I have been trying to find my identity since I was 14 years old. Coming to terms with my new identity meant giving up my parent’s expectations of their perfect little girl, and at this point in my transition I am happy being their almost son. I’m just a happy little gay boy who loves…

I’ve been identifying as a trans guy since around 14 years old, so I’ve been out for about 6 years now. It’s been quite the ride with lots of ups and downs. FTM Trans Man Pronouns : He/Him Age : 20 Years old

I’m a trans-competent chiropractor serving the East Bay Area. I truly enjoy the work that I do and I know from personal experience seeking out my own healthcare and self-care services, just how important it is to provide a welcoming and non-judgmental space for healing. I’ve been some version of genderqueer my whole life, but…

I have always felt on the outside of the status quo so it never mattered that much to me that my queerness never fit into any of the available boxes. It didnʼt matter to me if I passed as straight or cis. When I got sick, suddenly how I looked was all that mattered to…

Asking me a question like “What are you, a boy or a girl?” is like asking a snake “What are you, a biped or a quadruped?” It is simply not a quality that applies to me. I identify with archetypes far more strongly than with any gender. My gender is poet, is storyteller, is self-confessed…

It took a very long time for me to understand my own gender; is so often just tossed at us from childhood and we are expected to go with it. Growing up in the Bay Area in the 2000s, I surprisingly never heard about being trans. In fact, until close to college, my only experience…
Jasper
I’ve known I wasn’t a girl for as long as I can remember. I always felt like a boy who unfortunately had a girl’s body and was forced to be “a girl”, whatever that means. Through drag, theatre and life I have been able to piece together the big queer jigsaw puzzle that is Jasper…

I identify as myself. I’m just me. I love music, cooking, and my journey. Straight Trans man He/Him 27 years old Manteca, California @ironkaiden_ftm

Why should people have to judge people when they are not sure about themselves? Myself, I think gender and pronouns are the most important things you can approach someone with, like instead of saying ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’, just say ‘hello’, how is your day?” instead of assuming what someone’s pronouns or gender are. I was…

I started calling myself a hippie pretty soon after thousands of them invaded my small town to attend the Woodstock Festival, when I was ten. They talked about peace and freedom, and they were peaceful and free! They did things in public that I was afraid to do even in private. They also lived in…
