<p>One of the magical things about being trans and out it that, just by existing, you're going to help other people figure out how to embrace that part of themselves. We're everywhere! But... we're often pretty scared. </p><p>So, what do you do when someone asks you for help questioning their gender? </p><p>This week on <a href="/tags/stainedglasswoman/" rel="tag">#StainedGlassWoman</a>, it's a guide on Being the Big Sib, so you can help them without hurting them, or yourself, in the process. </p><p><a href="/tags/transgender/" rel="tag">#transgender</a> <a href="/tags/mtf/" rel="tag">#MtF</a> <a href="/tags/ftm/" rel="tag">#FtM</a> <a href="/tags/nonbinary/" rel="tag">#nonbinary</a> </p><p><a href="https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/being-the-big-sib" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/being-the-big-sib"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stainedglasswoman.substack.com</span><span class="invisible">/p/being-the-big-sib</span></a></p>

<p>While some of us knew from a very, very young age that we were trans, a whole lot of us... well, we didn't. We thought that the way things were for us was normal. </p><p>And then, one day, maybe all of a sudden, maybe after a long time exploring ourselves, we said the magic words: "Oh, s#!t, I think I'm not cis."</p><p>This week on <a href="/tags/stainedglasswoman/" rel="tag">#StainedGlassWoman</a>, we've got a guide for what to do after the bottom drops out of your world, and you got your gender wrong.</p><p><a href="/tags/trans/" rel="tag">#Trans</a> <a href="/tags/mtf/" rel="tag">#MtF</a> <a href="/tags/ftm/" rel="tag">#FtM</a> <a href="/tags/enby/" rel="tag">#Enby</a> </p><p><a href="https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/oh-st-i-think-im-not-cis" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/oh-st-i-think-im-not-cis"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stainedglasswoman.substack.com</span><span class="invisible">/p/oh-st-i-think-im-not-cis</span></a></p>
<p>It's Pride month, and now that we're 55 years after Stonewall, it can be awfully easy to forget why it's all such a big deal--and what Pride exists to do.</p><p>This week on <a href="/tags/stainedglasswoman/" rel="tag">#StainedGlassWoman</a>, we're diving into the lifesaving importance of Pride and the Prejudice that makes it so necessary. Grab a rainbow flag, show yourself a little love, and join us as we talk about internalized self-stigma and shame.</p><p><a href="/tags/trans/" rel="tag">#Trans</a> <a href="/tags/transjoy/" rel="tag">#TransJoy</a> <a href="/tags/mtf/" rel="tag">#MtF</a> <a href="/tags/enby/" rel="tag">#Enby</a> <a href="/tags/ftm/" rel="tag">#FtM</a> <a href="/tags/psychology/" rel="tag">#Psychology</a> </p><p><a href="https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/pride-and-prejudice" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/pride-and-prejudice"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stainedglasswoman.substack.com</span><span class="invisible">/p/pride-and-prejudice</span></a></p>
<p>The part we far too often don't talk about when we finally get the gender-affirming surgeries that we need is how hard recovery is--and I don't mean the physical stuff.
