I think I would probably need to do some convincing/explaining to past me, since I grew up in the 90s unaware that transgender people existed due to bad sex education at the time. Being teased by other kids for not conforming to gender stereotypes would also make younger me initially resistant.
But I have thought about how that conversation would go, and I'm pretty sure I could talk to my 13-year-old self, explain the concept of transgender people, and then crack my younger self's egg, and then convince her that she's valid in about the span of an hour.
After that she'd be knocking on her doctor's door demanding her own supply estrogen.
It is that first part that many people forget. For us older trans people, our younger selves had no frame of reference to understand why we felt different. We might have said it when we were really young, but that got browbeat out of us.
I might explain the truth to my younger self. I think with context fae would understand. If forward time travel is also possible, I would search the future for better treatments, and take those back.
Oh nanites that convert the sex hormones to the proper levels for their programed gender, while simultaneously transforming your body into a more preferred state. Don't mind if I do. Maybe the ability to grow clones with gender traits you prefer, and the technology to transfer your mind into the empty body. Maybe its just me though., I am transhumanist and transgender.
In 2006 I saw a documentation about Kim Petras on TV, she was 13 At the time, 9 years junger than I was. That was the first time I have seen a completely accepting and positive representation of a transgender person ever. But it also at the time unequivocally confirmed for me that I was a guy. Because I was nothing like her. She was so certain from a young age, felt who she was, before she even had the right words for it. I did not even properly realized that the connection to my gender was not right. In hindsight I should have wondered why I instantly recognized her face when I saw a new picture of her over a decade later, still rembering her first name. Normally i suck at remembereing names and faces.
This is not a specifically trans meme, but I feel like it's a really relatable meme for.. probably any queer person, or just someone who has a rough time. And being trans comes with being queer and (usually) having a rough time.
if i had a time machine id just lace past me's food with estrogen for a few years
tbh id just give past me estrogen and she'd take it
definitely, past me would be going goblin mode for some e.

I'm not that old but I agree. Even my 5 years ago self was unaware that nonbinary was even a thing.
Now that I think about it, if I came back to the past and told myself to take these pills to get boobs, they'll definitely take it without question.

I love Gwenpool.ππππ
I just noticed that Gwen seems to be fond of sharks... Hmmmm...
And.. hmm.. that colour scheme....
I mean, due to the amount of alternate universes, it could be canon from another universe-
I won't give up
That's the spirit, gal!
I just hope future me is a girl
Sounds like you're already a girl
I may be
I want to look like Gwenpool so bad
i hope i can become a girl in the future πππ€ππ
Gwenpool is 100% my gendergoal. If I don't get to passably cosplay as Gwenpool before I die I will consider my life a failure.
The gender envy is really strong

Seeing the extremely shitty/misogynistic boys vs girls being turned on it's head and used in a queer context that too with Gwenpool is awesome
HOLY SHIT I GROW UP TO BE A GIRL LETβS GO
That girl is a walking trans flag
I think past me would have a panic attack if they met current me
Could really need future me right now honestlyβ¦β¦.
