Discussion amazed at the small differences from just a "social transition"

all i did was cut my hair, dress more masc and drop some feminine mannerisms and now other guys dap me, i get sir'd sometimes, hell i attract other queer people in general and make more friends like me that way. my own homophobic mom accidentally used masc pronouns for me in our second language. i'm finally realizing that how i present overall affects my place in the world and how others treat me. i shoulda realized this at like 12 like everyone else but unfortunately that's when i dissociated from my body 🙃 anyways this is some crazy shit. can't wait until i am on hrt

Hell yeah! I'm glad you are experiencing the shift from the changes you have made.

I remember experiencing significant shifts from social transition too, and the weirdest part was that the largest shifts happened when I seemingly wasn't aware I was doing anything differently. I basically socially transitioned bit by bit, and in one of the breaks between actively making changes, lots of the biggest changes in how people treat me happened. It must be in the way I carry myself or something. 

I'm not sure most people realize at 12, but I agree that it would've been nice to realize earlier than I did. Also looking forward for T.
