I was following a trans man's transition on Facebook and he talked about how he began to realize he wasn't a woman and I just kept seeing his story relatable memes nonbinary and gender-fluid people's stories. It gave me permission to think of what was possible for me. Slowly I thought about my own childhood and so many things began to make sense.

I first came out publicly at my local UU church and people were so affirming to me. I really felt seen and someone in that congregation did pro bono work to get my name legally changed. I'm lucky that I live in a bigger city in the Midwest with a tight knit LGBT community.
