im a trans man. i began figuring this out when i was 18, at which i started calling myself nonbinary. i now know i am a man, but sometimes i feel like i’m out of my element because other transgender people realize very early in their lives.
is it normal to realize at 18
You are not a man and never will be. You can dress like men normally do and do things that men normally do and promote gender stereotypes or just accept the FACT that you are a masculine woman.
It is normal. You're just a fucking hateful disgusting asswipe stuck in their bigoted mindset. Seek help.
Maybe you're just a tomboyish female and not a man? Maybe it's just the thought of being a man is a fetish you have?
It's quite normal to learn about the different sexualities later in life - and then understand where you fit in.
I didn't know that I was classified as clearly "Polyamorous" until I was 56 years old (I function better with more than one active long term sex partner - I don't do hook ups or short term flings: multi-year steady is my thing).
I had not even heard of the term before then nor what it meant. When I found the website for this group and started reading about it... I literally could have written some of the key sentences and paragraphs on how I felt and my long term relationships.
I wish you well with your life now that you have figured things out.
Yeah it's normal, everyone's different.
PS. Don't pay any attention to the transphobes. You should feel proud of yourself for who you are.
I know it makes you feel
morally in the right to encourage this stuff but its actually not even good for them. You should look up the surgery outcomes and the side affects from the hormones. And after all that they realize you guys lied to them and they dont even almost look like the gender they want too. They realize it once its too late.
In this life you have epiphanies, choices, revelations of change and realisation. It won’t be easy but nothing ever is.
Good luck friend.
With love,

Different people have different experiences, I realized I wasn't cisgender a few months before turning 19. Always had a feeling that something was off but I pushed it down and never paid attention to it. You are as valid as any other trans person. Much love, live your truth, man
I don't know why zero of the discussion in here is about this line:
"i feel like i’m out of my element because other transgender people realize very early in their lives"
Nooo they do not, and you really should not be comparing yourself to others on that level. 18 is a perfectly reasonable time to explore this kind of stuff. You absolutely do not want to be "very early" in your life for this kind of thing.
For the rest, I'm not you. I hope you make smart choices going forward. Do some soul searching, and then do what makes you happy.
