The Trans community has been my home, my refuge, the place where I’ve felt seen and understood in ways I never had before. What happens when I step back, even temporarily? Will I still have a place?

If you’re questioning your identity, feeling like something is still missing, you are not alone. It is okay if your understanding of yourself evolves. It is okay if the label that once felt right no longer fits. You don’t have to be just one thing. You don’t have to be only what the world expects of you.

The journey of self-discovery as a Trans person is already filled with questions: Who am I? Can I live as my true self? Will I ever feel like I belong? These questions are natural, even empowering at times, but they can also leave space for impostor syndrome to creep in. It’s not just about doubting what you’ve accomplished; it’s about doubting who you are.
