Hi... My name is Silas and I’m Trans (ftm)

Coming to terms with my gender has been a long mental battle for me, for many years now... I often spent many nights crying because I didn’t understand what was happening or why I felt this way. I tried to suppress it because I was afraid... trying to convince myself that I was just being stupid or overthinking things. Then I found the furry community... a place where I felt like I could be whoever and whatever I wanted. I started to Identify more as Genderfluid at first... mostly because at the time I still wasn’t sure what I was feeling... Then slowly I started leaning towards the more masculine spectrum of things and eventually (more recently) I started going by He/Him... and when my best friend called me “him” in the voice chat for the first time ever... I almost cried from happiness and that’s when I knew/realized for certain that I was trans.

A lot of people seem to think that figuring out that your trans is some easy thing, that you know right away, but that’s not always the case. I had dysphoria like a mother fker bro, but at the time I DID NOT understand what I was feeling. Plus you often fight with yourself in your head, thinking that if you just ignore it, it will just stop. Your Gender Identity is not always handed to you on a silver platter and even when it is, it’s still a battle.

Anyway, enough of my blabbering. Just know that I’m trans and I’m proud- and Your journey in your identity is valid. I love you all.💕❤️
