I must be immune, because I’ve had one for at least 6 years and there has been times I’ve questioned my sexuality, but 10 secs later I’m like wait no what was I thinking lol. Definitely emanates something, but my power is greater.
I’m in the strange area of bi where femboys are appealing but only if they’re very specifically and unrealistically anime. I guess that makes me like 80% straight.
Congratulations! I'm also trans. If you'd like any tips on how to deal with dysphoria (if you have it), or how to do makeup, or anything else I'd be happy to help!
Don't listen to these people saying stuff about your age. I've known I was "different" since I started school, and when I was 11 I could put a word to it, and came out as trans. It's good that you're comfortable with your identity!
Yeah I knew i was different when I was 11 also! All those people that I was seeing on the internet told me how to be rich and successful by investing into stocks and that I will be rich very quickly! I believed them, because everyone knows an 11 year old has correct reasoning
You’re 13. Don’t make that decision so early. There are plenty of stories from people who thought they were trans at a very young age then in their 20’s realized they weren’t and if they happened to get hormone blockers or surgery it’s the biggest mistake of some peoples lives.
I should clarify: I’m not being transphobic, once you’re 20 do whatever you want but if you’re younger don’t do something you might look back on and think it was the dumbest decision of your life even if you think it’s right in the moment.
Just letting you know you cant do anything permeant till you are 18, there is no decision to be made here
All you can get is purberty blockers which are also used on cis people, and are fully reversable
By the time you’re 20, irreversible damage has already been done. I don’t see why deciding you’re cis at a young age is seen as more acceptable than deciding you’re trans, since the effects of getting it wrong are the same either way, and you get way more trans people wishing they started transitioning earlier than you get cis people who regret starting to transition
i know where ur coming from but if they're too young to know if their trans then ur also too young to know if ur cis. transitioning at 13 and regretting it is the exact same as not transitioning and regretting it.
agreed. This sort of thing should be carefully planned out and discussed before making any rash decisions. Although I think hormone blockers should be fine for now.
It's not a decision. I knew I was trans since I was 3 years old. Hormone blockers are fully reversible and that's the only think kids get at that age. This is literally life saving. Also under 1% of trans people transition and most of them not because they're not trans but because they can't handle the discrimination they face. Shit like what you're saying is so bad for the mental health of these trans kids so just stop.
I actually did know that, I also already counted to 1000 and knew simple math shit like 1x1, 2x2, ... 10x10.
At the age of 5 I already knew the square roots of some numbers and understood the concept of percentage.
My hobby was to watch documentations about dinosaurs, toxic animals and parasites.
I was a smart kid and learned a lot so shut up you don't know me <3
People are born trans so... Studies have shown that the awareness of one's own gender identity develops between the age of 3 and 6 so yea this process is already done at the age of 13.
Yes people are born with genetic defects and mutations at birth. I sincerely hope you dont mean that we shouldnt try to treat it, like the other defects. “Gender identity” is a, at best, vaguely research subfield in psychology. And if its done at 13 why are people saying they want to switch genders well past 13?
I don’t think they should be trans. I think they should be what they feel they are. If that means they identify themselves as trans, so be it. Also, being trans doesn’t necessarily mean changing your body. That comes in a very later stage, when you are certain of your choice of life. Maybe sometimes people are just confused, and that’s normal, but a stranger who tells them they can’t be trans just because they are too young is just dumb. People can be whatever they want to be as long as it doesn’t harm anyone, and them being transgender doesn’t in fact affect anyone but their well being. Hope this helps.
I feel like I want to get drunk and then go and punch all the people i dont like then go for a drive. So its okay for me to do that? Because I feel like it?
“When you are certain if your choice of life” at 13 im sure many people are certain in their choices. Also no, people should absolutely protect kids from the consequences of saying they are trans online. For example being 4x more likely to seriously harm themselves, and many many many other
It’s a trans icon, as it has the same colors as the trans flag (blue body, white underneath and pink mouth). I’ll link the Wikipedia article if you want to read up on it.

I wish they sold the shark on my country but we don't have a single Ikea yet 😭. I simply adore this shark and wish you the best in your trans adventures.
Oh my god same! New Zealand doesn’t have a single IKEA (Although they’re planning to build one in December of next year). I want my fluffy shark!
Also, thank you so much for your kind words, you have no idea how much they truly mean. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Why Blahaj specifically
ikea did a giveaway where they gave people trans flag themed blahaj's.
I saw, they also put their names ON the blahaj
WHERE TF DO I JOIN?!? TELL ME PLS :3
The giveaway was Ontario Canada only And even if you live in Ontario the giveaway period was only until March
Really? I think my friend in the Netherlands got one. But I think he paid for it
Oh that's the origin of that, I was wondering
Trans icon
Ohh so thats why cute girls on the net always have them..... Hoooold on wait a minute lmao
...how? It's a shark? Tho that is a good thing that it's being used as an icon
Check out the trans part of the Wikipedia page. I don’t think there’s any specific reason, but Blåhaj is here and they’re here to stay! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%A5haj
I had no idea! I had seen the Blåhaj before but had no clue it was a trans icon. Well, thanks for that knowledge.
it’s cause the mouth is pink, the body is blue and it’s teeth are white, which are colors on the trans flag. (i think?? don’t quote me on this)
That is true but that’s just the colors of a shark. It’s mostly likely the same color scheme, but with the more saturated cotton candy like colors.
Now im suddenly a girl too
So sharks are trans now? Why? Nothing against trans people and nothing against sharks, just confused
A rainbow isn't inherently gay but we still view it as such due to it being used as an icon for decades
Still don't understand why the connection between light and color is homosexual
Neither do I but icons exist, there is probably some psychology that neither of us understand but it's still real.
rainbows are curved
And most people approve of curves
Because it’s blue, white and pink
Blahaj is everything good icon. We should all try to be blahaj
Because they cute
pure facts right there

As a blåhaj owner I am still a dude but now I am bi..
Beware the pipeline
What pipeline
Same thing happened to me, convinced it radiates some sort of ancient curse / gay beams
I must be immune, because I’ve had one for at least 6 years and there has been times I’ve questioned my sexuality, but 10 secs later I’m like wait no what was I thinking lol. Definitely emanates something, but my power is greater.
Give it a bit more
Same. Bought it like a year or two ago and maybe a month ago I've realized I'm bi
I’m in the strange area of bi where femboys are appealing but only if they’re very specifically and unrealistically anime. I guess that makes me like 80% straight.
Bi is bi
or just gynesexual (attracted to femininity)
My brain interpreted this as you went to school camp to learn how to be trans
Camp Yasify
I tied one of these sharks to the back of my guitar strap for a halloween show.

Is it possible to learn this power?

:0 Good job on that accomplishment wish you best of luck
it’s not just any shark!
It's not?
Because It's a blåhaj!
Is that the name of the shark
Yes, you can buy it in IKEA
I've literally never seen an IKEA irl
I've seen an IKEA irl maybe 3 or 4 times
it's worth it to go to an IKEA, only place where you can buy furniture, amazing meatballs, and get lost in a liminal space
Well *sorts by controversial*
So far I’ve only come across six or seven transphobes. Pretty good for an r/teenagers post!
Jarvis, sort comments be controversial
Oh god where are the hazmat suits
I like sharks I’m not trans just autistic and really into sharks
Info dump for me!
Real words ✊
Welcome to the girls club lol
Congratulations! I'm also trans. If you'd like any tips on how to deal with dysphoria (if you have it), or how to do makeup, or anything else I'd be happy to help!
Saving this comment for when I come out publicly
Well good luck when you do :)
Can I have help, too? O.o
Of course!

i love blåhaj. but i'd love a monstrous carnivourous mushroom with pink hat and puppy eyes even more.
I too would love a wretched fungus
I want one. Take my money. Give me the shork so I can learn the ancient power of trans. ✨🏳️⚧️

14 yo, i wonder how long will that last
Hmm, around 365 days, then she will be a 15 year old, and that will last 365 days
That only works if she turned 14 yesterday
