This is me up till my current self, I am AFAB and now as a male and use He/Him pronouns

Young Me (Identity As Female)

Slightly older me (Identity As Female but very “TomBoy”)

Slightly Older me (Still tomboy-ish, but more female)

Still identifying as female, going through a very femme phase

Still identifying as female, (hated wearing make-up, but thought it was “appropriate” thing to do for a young “lady”)

Still identifying as female, on the femme side of being androgynous, gender dysphoria starts, but puts it off as dysmorphia.

Still identifying as female, convincing myself I was female, being overly femme

I knew something wasn’t right, but wasn’t quite sure what it was. Still identifying as female

Starts identifying as non-binary, imposter syndrome was hitting me hard, so I was dressing very femme

Starts realizing I am masculine, imposter syndrome has mostly gone away.

Gets my first binder (not me in pictures)

Starts identifying as masc non-binary (I look femme because I was doing a show)

Current, realizes I am a Guy, changes pronouns publicly. Current (I’m going to get a buzz cut soon, to hopefully present more masculine.).
