It can be confusing to figure out our identities, especially if no one wants to talk about it.
Don't ask us if we're sure about our identities; that can lead us to doubt ourselves.
Sometimes, coming to terms with our identities includes dealing with our own internalized homophobia or transphobia.
I know you may be frustrated or bewildered by my sexuality or gender identity. I am sometimes, too. Sometimes, I think I've figured myself out. But then I learn of a new label and start to question my identity again.
I really struggle with being trans. I think about it all the time.
I didn't transition on a lark; I did a lot of thinking and work to become more of myself.
I'm both proud and joyful about being queer because it's proof of how much work I've done on myself, how I've learned to love myself unconditionally, how resilient I've become, and how I've learned to be a self-advocate.
