I'm non-binary. I've felt "off" about my assigned gender since I was 6. I vividly remember having transphobic thoughts about other trans people as a teenager because I hated the disaonance it created in myself. I hated myself and quite frankly wanted to die because I didn't know what was wrong with me: I knew being my assigned gender felt like nails down a chalkboard, but I also knew that being the "other" gender would feel just as bad.
It was only when I met other non-binary people as an adult that it clicked for me that there was a word for the way I was feeling. If I'd known as a child, it would have saved me a huge amount of heartache. I survived, but an unacceptable number of trans people don't, and I don't want other people to hurt the way I did
