#introduce

Time to #introduce myself… My name is Josh and I am a non-binary. I recently realized that although I’ve been #queer all my life, I was also #trans. Over the last year, I’ve come to terms with why I was so unhappy with my body. Why I hated clothes shopping, getting my hair cut and other typically gendered things. It was all wrong because people were trying to steer me toward only male things. I love doing them now that I’ve admitted to myself that I was just walking down the wrong aisle. There are so many options out there that excite me now. Clothing. Jewelry. Makeup. I’m glad I didn’t realize all this until I was older. While it sucks that I missed out on all the fun I could have had in college if I knew who I was, it’s given me stability and a solid foundation on which to build a new life. I’m also so lucky to have a partner who is also #queer and fully loves me no matter who or what I am. I wasn’t worried for a single second what she’d think or say. She’s been so supportive of me exploring myself and who I am. She’s the best. #introduction #introspection #nonbinary #lgbtqia #lgbtq #lgbt #relationships #gratitude #queer #love

After writing my introduction post, I can’t stop thinking about how much I love my partner and how lucky I am to have her. She’s been so supportive and encouraging. We fit together perfectly. I would not have been able to realize who I was if she hadn’t given me me the space and support to spend nearly a year to figure out who/what I am. #introduce #queer #trans #queer #introduction #introspection #nonbinary #lgbtqia #lgbtq #lgbt #relationships #gratitude #queer #love
