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

  • Hey ELMD72

    My partner was male for most of 'his' life, until 'he' started coming out to people in February.

    I knew around October time, but didn't want to say anything about it as it was for her to come out by herself - and I am damned proud of her for doing so. She is going to go all the way, but, like a lot of medical things - this is going to take a few years before anything does happen.

    I am female myself, but I tend to be more 'tom-boyish' in my clothing style - I very rarely wear dresses/make up etc.

    My partner actually can't wait to start wearing dresses and more feminine clothing - she has started wearing stuff discreetly, but as from her birthday, she's going to come out a lot more Slight smile

    Well done yourself on being more open about your own transgender journey - I wish you all the best and I'm sure my partner does too Smiley
