re: How young does a child have to be before he/she knows they are transgendered?

You don’t have to understand it, and I don’t expect you to. Just trying to live my life like everyone else.

Where the F*+# is the father???? How is this ok? My sister thought it was funny to put makeup on me and my dad whooped her arse for seemed like 5 minutes! Is it just me or are single mothers more likely to have a gay son? My friend in high school never saw his dad and lived with 2 older sisters and his mom. I always thought he was gay. When my family told me it was whatever, I’ve been telling him for years.

I knew I was different at 7 yo. I didn’t put all the pieces together until I was 13 or so, which was putting a name to what I was dealing with. This was in 1988. I’m 44 now and 14 months into transition.

You know what I “knew” at 7 years of age?

-Understood the concept of numbers
-Knew my left from right
-Could tell time not using a digital clock
-Could repeat three numbers backward.

Seems most people these days remember having sexuality questions at such a young age. It fascinates me how so many of them deal with mental health issues when they are so much more intellectually advanced than us regular people.
