Feeling sexually attracted to people of the same gender as you
Feeling isolated from your family friends because of how you identify
Feelings of anxiety about not being accepted for who you really are
Not knowing where to get or how to wear a binder
Feeling like how you are on the outside doesn't represent who you are on the inside
Wanting to come out but not knowing how
Experiencing homophobia or transphobia from family or friends
A sense of wrongness about the gender you were assigned at birth
