(For how i crafted these quotes, see What i changed in survey-takers' responses and What i didn't change.)
"They listen to me, understand experiences I can't explain because they can relate. They will not question my identity when I say 'I feel like a boy today' they will meet me with comfort and love and assurance."
"They become mentors or friends to me and are always there when I need it."
"I prefer to confide in trans adults because I know they will understand wholeheartedly what I am talking about or struggling with, and are a lot more likely to be able to show empathy and advice that is useful, rather than outside opinions from cisgender adults who cannot imagine or understand the issues I am struggling with mentally or physically."
