Hello everyone,
You all know me as Arsen6331
A while ago, I had a realization. I realized I was trans.
As with all the other major realizations in my life, my brain has been subconsciously collecting evidence for years, and I had this realization in a single moment. My egg didn’t crack, it exploded and shattered violently. Memories containing evidence started popping up in quick succession, from when I was as young as 3 years old, and I had to process all of them. It has been a major emotional rollercoaster.
I’ve been repressing this for as long as I’ve been alive, so this makes me very anxious, but now that most of it has been processed, and the most important people have been told, I can tell all of you:
Hello, I am Elara, an Autistic, Trans ML.
Thanks to everyone here. You all were a huge part of my realization. Without you, it might’ve happened a lot later or not at all.
I’m so glad to hear that you are taking steps in your life to examine who you want to be.
All of us, every person, is in a constant, lifelong state of growth and transition, from what we were, through what we are and into what we hope to become. For some us this growth requires astounding leaps in relating to ourselves and the world around us, often departing from what we even conceived of as possible.
It’s a powerful and freeing thing to reflect on what you need to do to navigate this world more fully as yourself.
If you ever have any questions, or need to talk, I’m here <3
