    Hello! Fellow trans here! I'm here to answer top five questions I have heard and have been asked.
    1, how young is too young to know?
    If you are 10 an below I think you shouldn't have to interfere or experiment with gender and sexuality like I did.
    2, does it hurt?
    Physically it could affect you when you transition. It also affects your mentality when your first trans but haven't transitioned.
    3, what do I do if my parents don't support?
    My mom found out, she doesn't believe it so I'm planning to tell her myself. My dad- he's getting old so I don't know, they do support LGBTQ+ but I just don't know. I hope yours do support you with anything. I would just not argue with them and accept it and if they say anything, ignore it.
    4, is it a sin?
    I am not religious. I do not believe in anything involving religion. I personally don't think it's a sin.
    5, am I trans?
    It depends on what you feel. If you feel like your the opposite gender then you may want to start researching. Whatever your sex is when your born is what you'll stay forever, except you can change gender and get surgery or do injections or medicine.
    That's all! Thank you for reading if you did.
    I'm commenting this on other trans videos hoping to get a pin so people understand! ❤

      I was trans when I was 8 and im fine for now but i try to not dwell on the fact that everyone misgenders me so that i don’t get in trouble with my parents and teachers. i try not to think of it too much though.

I also don't want to break their desire of having two girls and two boys. They seem so happy with the equal amount of genders and I don't want to take that away from them.
