This is me when I was around eleven. My hair was pretty long. I considered myself a tomboy and I didn't really suspect anything else besides that.

Age 12. Still tomboyish. Tried to dress somewhat femininely. Kind of wanted to be like "other girls" Still mostly resorted to t shirts and jeans.

Age 14. I didn't really care what I wore. I was wearing camo cargo pants in this picture. I just wore what was comfortable. I guess in someways I tried to be girly but it didn't really work out because it made me uncomfortable.

Age 16. In this picture I was wearing a skirt. I remember thinking how weird it was that I never dressed "girly" so I decided to wear a skirt that day. I was uncomfortable the whole day. I think this was around the time when I started questioning a few things.

Age 17. It's kind of strange to think that I looked like this almost a year ago. I've come quite a long way since then. You can see in the picture that my hair was longer and I tried to tuck it into my hood so it wouldn't show. (obviously didn't work lol) This was taken around the time where I started being done with repressing my feelings and was super confused with shit and looking up all sorts of stuff to find out why I felt the way I did.

Age 18. Me now. I was admiring my new school clothes. I'm wearing my first pair of men's jeans. I still don't have a binder unfortunately but I guess I will eventually. Like I've said before, I'm mostly out to people. I know who I am. But I am still very depressed at the nonacceptance from my grandparents and dad and also I have a lot of dysphoria. Nobody genders me correctly or calls me by my real name yet, except my step sister and I don't really see her that often. (and I'm just talking irl. My online friend Fig (the bi person I mentioned in the last chapter) calls me my real name and doesn't misgender me. She's awesome. I want to come out at school but I'm afraid it won't go well. I'm just wanting to hurry up and graduate in October ugh.Also I'm hoping that my psychiatrist can help me explain stuff to my grandparents. Just a constant struggle right now.
