The other day I saw this kid who commented on a Pinterest post about LGBTQ people realizing they’re LGBTQ in quarantine with, “I was 9 when quarantine started and now i’m asexual biromantic and genderfluid” and I am…
SO GLAD that queer kids are finding themselves at a young age! It’s genuinely wonderful that kids have the resources to know they’re queer at such a young age. It really shows how important the internet is to increasing LGBTQ+ visibility. Now I’m not saying that every queer kid found their identities from the internet, but many of them probably did. If they’re wondering “why do I have crushes on boys and girls” or maybe “why do I feel like a boy but my parents tell me I’m a girl” they can get out their phones and google it. And boom, they’ll know they’re gay/lesbian/bi/trans/pan/nonbinary/ace/aro etc. “But what if they aren’t…” Then so what? People change labels all the time, there’s nothing wrong with a kid changing theirs. They’re figuring themselves out! There is nothing wrong with that. So, to all my younger queer siblings—I see you and I love you. It’s not just a phase and you’re not too young. Don’t let others make you doubt yourself because you know who you are. They don’t.
I truly wish I could get cis people and non-butches to understand how inherent transness/butchness/gender-nonconformity is for so many of us, specifically related to how visible it can be even when we do our damndest to hide it.
My parents suggested I detransition/try to appear “womanly” because it’s getting really dangerous where I live, and I’m just like…there is no world in which I can make that work. I was getting called a lesbian and a dyke as a teen before I even figured out I was gay. I was shoved up against a wall in college and sexually assaulted in public when I was in the process of coming out and presenting very femininely, specifically because I was a lesbian. Even when I spent hours playing with makeup because it was kind of fun (because I did wacky styles that make me think I was using it as a drag thing more than anything) I still stuck out next to cishet girls.
I’m not saying I can’t do things to improve my safety, but I have been butch/trans/gender-nonconforming my entire life. I cannot undo that from the fabric of who I am; even if I cover it up, the people who want to do harm can typically still pick up on it.

Have you been to see him? I’ve seen enough of him. I was with him behind the veil. You were always on the other side.
