HOW TRANSGENDER AND NON BINARY HAVE AFFECTED ME.
π³️πWith today being Transgender Day Of Visibility I thought it would be a good time to do this entry. Both Transgender and Non Binary have really been playing a huge part in my life for a very long time, as I believe I've mentioned before probably going back to my middle high-school days. So from 15 til I fully came out the at age 47 going on 48.
I really always knew about this as I have mentioned other times. Well not always but since as said 15 or 16, and as people know I had a tricky time up until really my mid 40s.
First off going to catholic school all my life and up until my late 20s I had a deep belief in the Bible God devil heaven and hell. Secondly I have a huge Christian family with total belief with nuns and a priest in the family. So that made things tricky for me.
So how else did I know or at least think I fit into the Transgender Non Binary category. Ok to start off with until ten years ago I had never heard the term Non Binary before. Of course it's not a surprise as until I slowly started acknowledge my true feelings but keeping them deep because of family I didn't pay a ton of attention to LGBTQ COMMUNITY, with one major acceptance something to this day I really regret.
So around 15 I really real started to notice girls and was attracted to them. It really ran deep for a while. Of course I did at one point think I might be gay but that wasn't for long at all first off because I'd been with girls but surprisingly did find myself attracted to some guys as I've mentioned before so there was some thought in that area.
That was when I first thought I might be bisexual but still was for most part keeping it buried. I had it buried evrnthough I was pretty sure most people knew and I started to get conformation.
Now a bit more about the Transgender and Non Binary aspect I remember Friday's in high-school. Yes I will explain that one, because it was a catholic high-school we had to wear uniforms. Well we had to except Friday those were casual days. I started to look at all the dresses skirts and different outfits the girls wore. I got butterflies goosebumps thinking I'd feel so natural in those outfits as well as my everyday stuff like jeans T shirt. However didn't say Transgender or Non Bibary until last year when I really became Quinn and discovered how comfortable I am not only living as my prefered name but under the Transgender umbrella. Another thing that has made me feel incredible are all of the friends and two family members who have liked all of pics in my Quinn album. Both in my masculine and my more feminine wear.
I remember everytime I first tried to come out I denied it that of course was bad for many reason's. Emotionally, physically and mentally I was crumbling at some points. So it had been a very trying time. Fortunately I had a huge family outside my actual family to support me. Having tge true understanding of Transgender and Nonbinary yes this me this is Quinn.π³️π
Live your best life Quinn. It’s the only one you have.
