(He/Him/His)
The first moment I could see my future as a trans man or trans masculine person was...
I didn't know when this incident happened that transitioning to male was an option. It took 9 years before I found that out. But I was leaving a fast food place with my brother and I held a door open for an older gentleman and he said "thank you sir". And that just made me smile so much. I thought about that moment for years. 9 years later I helped my then partner transition and that's when all these repressed feelings came out and when I found out that being a man was possible.
Resources that helped me...
Listening to others experience of how they came to realize they were transgender helped me to see where my future could go. I found these people (and their stories) on Facebook groups and Reddit. Meeting other trans people in my local community, and helping my (at the time) partner transition helped me as well.
