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

  • I identify as non-binary / agender / transmasculine depending on the day. I doubt I could navigate the healthcare system well enough to access testosterone but I have put myself on medication to stop my periods which alleviates most of my dysphoria. I used to have a lot of anger, but the more authentically I live the less it flairs up. Cutting out toxic people helps too.
