I wish I could have learned about nonbinary identity much earlier. Like back when I was having a crisis about my gender in high school I only knew the full binary MtF and FtM existed. But whenever I thought about it being a girl felt just as wrong as being a boy to me. Just for different reasons. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t reconcile not wanting to be a boy, periodically wishing I had been born a girl, but not actually wanting to be a girl.
Wasn’t until about 12 years later at like 26 when I met my now wife and she told me all that sounded like nonbinary and I suddenly had things to Google. I wish I could have had a chance to actually transition before fully growing into being 6’2" and built like a fridge in a fursuit. But like now I’m 33, I had other medical issues that I didn’t want to try piling a potential transition on top of, and I’m not even sure what realistic transition goals I could even have let alone have a chance of attaining.
I can absolutely sympathise, I’ve got a bunch of medical issues and only began my transition journey recently, well past puberty. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done, the only goal I’d say you should ever have for your transition, is to be happy.
Also, it’s useful to keep in mind that there are many ways of affirming your gender other than medical stuff, though I’ll admit the medical transition has been the best for me.
I kinda have the opposite experience of gender, I feel equally comfortable as being boy and girl though generally prefer a mix at most times. It’s so cool to me how differently we can experience these sorts of things
