Trans and autistic?

ELMD72

I feel like I have been masking my entire life until now. I’m not diagnosed and with everything else that is happening right now it will wait a bit longer. 
I identify as a transgender man, queer (have had relationships with both sexes) and now am coming to terms with autism as well.  I’ve had to hide my identity, feelings and emotions since I was a child, mostly because I have had issues with my Dad since a teenager when I initially came out as lesbian. I’m feeling very angry at the moment which isn’t helped by my testosterone treatment which I have just started. Can anyone relate to this? Thank you

  • And to add … I know quite a number of trans people well, mostly trans women but one trans guy. He had a terrible time through childhood, was bullied, all sorts of family problems , then body dysmorphic , then PDA, and then diagnosed bipolar, what a shitstorm, but he found support in the pride community, understood his truth, is accessing testosterone as you are and is on the long journey to surgery - I am rooting for him every step of the way. It takes huge courage to do what you are doing, pride isn’t a cliché, it is the reality for those on this journey - BE PROUD of yourself xxx
