46:15 Question of the Week

"How do I figure out what I am? I didn't 'know from a very early age' that I was a girl, like I've heard countless transwomen say. I was a boy and I had friends who were boys and together we wore boy clothes and played rough games. But I was also sad when in first grade the girls didn't let me jump skipping ropes with them or teach me any clapping games and when I hear my present friends, whom I've come out to as trans, refer to me by female pronouns, I feel so warm and think that that's where I must belong. I know you can't tell me what I am, but can you tell me how I can find out for myself?"
(From: Anonymous)
