#Trans friends, I was thinking about our diverse stories, and found myself wondering about the age you knew you were trans (whether you had language to describe it or not)?

I didn't know until my late 40s. Earlier, I knew I was different, but not really in what way.

When did you know?

Please boost for reach, let's get a big sample size!

2 years in IT:
yeah🧑‍💻 mate I tell ya these servers are f'ed up 🤬 we gonna need to fix em real quick 🔧💻👔

8 years in IT:
I sensed 🏳️‍🌈 the faint 🥺 of a poor UwuPS failing 😳 we gotnya~ 👉👈 log into the ciscOwo 💜 to wireshörk this 🦈🏳️‍⚧️✨

I love my wife so fucking much ❤️❤️❤️

without her, I literally would've never learned about who I really am, which is something I can never thank her enough for ❤️

moreover, she was the only reason I ever diversified my interests and found a job in programming that feels like it actually matters to me; without that, I would still be stuck in a shitty badly paying .NET job that I hate 😅

she was also the one who showed me how great traveling can be; to this day, I probably never would've boarded a plane, or taken a night train, or a long distance bus, without her. I was basically living in a basement and never interested in seeing the world until she showed me how great it can be ❤️ nowadays I really enjoy organizing trips to all sorts of places, all thanks to her :3

same goes for theme parks and rollercoasters! I had never had a real rollercoaster ride before meeting her, and just as with the flying on a plane, she was with me when I had my first one :3
there are very few real theme parks in Austria and I never went to one here, the first one I visited was one near her old home ❤️

through the travel but also work things, she also opened my eyes for the possibilities of moving! both within my country and potentially abroad one day. I never would've moved to Vienna and met so many amazing people here without her :3

even though our interest in Beyblade may have waned over all the years since we met in the Beyblade forum, it will always have a special place in our hearts as well :D

just like Pokémon! something she got me into at first, and something we now share forever, always getting the couple edition when new games come out ❤️ (my fave Pokémon is probably still Snivy, and hers is Mightyena, and we love to play all gens over and over :3)

I am endlessly grateful for her staying with me through good and bad times over the last seven years, even back when I was still a really shitty person and honestly really had done nothing to deserve her. she still stayed with me and we both grew so much together ❤️

I want to forever be with her, forever play games and go to the cinema together (which is also something I never would've thought of doing before!), forever visit all sorts of places around the world and go to all of the cool museums and zoos and theme parks with her ❤️ and swimming! we maybe want to move to the seaside one day, but until then, I will organize as many trips to the sea as possible, we really love swimming together as well, and we especially love the sea :3

the years we were together so far were the best of my life, and they only proceed to get better and better with every single day; no matter what life brings, I will never want to miss her in mine, cause she's the greatest part of it, and by far the most important one to me. she is my life ❤️

if I was any good at poetry, I'd probably add a cheesy poem here :D

I'm just,,, literally so fucking gay for her ❤️

I never want to miss her showing me something she's drawn, or picrews of us that she made, or fanart of her current hyperfocus, and I could listen to her telling me about her vivid dreams and the fantasy worlds she develops in her head for days at a time ❤️

I love going out shopping with her as well! (perks of being a couple of two fem girls :D) that's also something I never could've seen myself enjoying in my earlier life <3

...and I haven't even started talking about how fucking cute she is! Like a 160cm bunny full of pure anger and destruction :3
But also so, so full of love, both for me and her friends ❤️

It's the little things as well - I want to forever exchange cute bunny and rodent and dog gifs and dumb memes with her ❤️ I love joking about all sorts of things together. inside jokes that only we and maybe sometimes a small set of friends know. spending time with our friends together, no matter in what way ❤️

I cannot imagine how miserable my life would be without her - I want to thank her for everything she's given me, for everything she keeps giving, and for everything that's still yet to come 💝💓❤️
