I didn't know any trans people growing up, or in college, and so my first exposure was hearing about trans people as a political issue.

I think it's one that some people don't or can't have. For me, I'm immensely glad my fear of being laughed at wasn't so strong, in the end.
Perhaps it's implied, but the greatest fear was of being an imperfect or unconvincing man. An effeminate man, a very short man.

Coincidentally(?), these sorts of things are harped on by TERFs. But they can't hurt me now. I'm short & sometimes effeminate. AND IT'S OKAY

Congratulations, brother! It's awesome that you found yourself, and awesome that you are brave enough to share your feelings. Thank you!

same here. I was on hormones for months but didn't change my presentation because I was afraid of being seen as trying but failing

Yes! Me too.

Of course irony is that a lot of non trans men also feel they aren't masculine enough. To me, Feminism sheds light on these issues.
-
Yes, of course. My insecurities about appearing insufficiently masculine just made me more like other men, if anything, not less.

It's also surprising how gender conservative ppl are. I'm not trans & I'm short, but often mistaken as male cos of gender presentation.
