Serious post gross.
I know I have a lot of followers who are trans minors so grandpa duo wants to give some wisdom that I wish someone told me when I was a baby trans man.
You don’t have to change your name. You can keep it. It’s not a requirement.
You don’t have to have T/E to be trans.
Don’t wear your binder while doing sports. It hurts.
You don’t have to be hyper masculine or hyper feminine. Just be you.
Do not use bandages. They can cause issues.
Surgery isn’t a requirement.
Being part of the lgbtqia+ community is a new family. If yours doesn’t support you now, we do.
You don’t have to pass to be trans. You are trans anyway. You look good.
Go to a coffee shop and use your chosen name to get a feel for it. They’ll shout it.
Be proud of who you are. It’s not a weakness it’s a strength.
If it’s not safe for you to come out, I promise it will be one day. The closet sucks but it’s better than being hurt. Use that time to find other people in your situation.
Being trans isn’t glamorous. It’s tears, pain, hurt and being unsure. That’s okay.
Detransitioning is fine. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Transitioning later in life is fine. Transitioning early in life is fine.
Transitioning wont happen over night. If you take hormones, it can take up to 5 years to see big differences.
Bottom surgery isn’t a requirement.
Top surgery isn’t a requirement.
You don’t have to come out if you don’t want to.
It’s okay to be angry about not being cis.
It’s okay to mourn the person you were.
You can change your name again, you don’t have to stick with it.
Love,
Someone who was forced back into the closet at 13 and is now transitioning at nearly 26.
Please add to this if you have anything else!

I want to add Good Fentons AU. 1-I am a sucker for those, and 2-THE HILARITY OF IT NOT EVEN BEING A BAD HOUSEHOLD
For the first comment, I like to imagine that after the good reveal, they ended up making up and have gotten to the point where they just joke about Jack & Maddie vivissecting Danny if he does something. Danny started it, the first few times the responses were nervous laughs but now it's just a joke. He actually meant the bedtime thing and he got grounded for a while after that.
I want to add ANOTHER misunderstanding out there too! Hear me out: JL/YJ think that Jack & Maddie are family friends who know of Danny's identity and are actively protecting him from them. YJ/JL needed some experts in ecto entities for one reason or another, so they called in some of the first ectobiologists, the (previously negatively biased but now very accepting plus studying their society) Fenton parents! It was like- midnight when they got there and Danny had to stay away from Amity Park for a few days and forgot to tell them, and they were NOT gonna let that slide.
Meanwhile, Danny was absolutely *not* informed of who they were meeting, as well as not informed on what they were specialists of (YJ/JL didn't tell him in fears of them being disliked thanks to their past bias) so he was in for quite a surprise!
*Jack & Maddie enter the meeting room*
Jack & Maddie:
Danny:
Jack & Maddie: DANN-O! Where have you been?! Your parents have been worried sick, you know?!
Danny: I'M SORRY! I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you guys where I was!
Jack: My boy, you've grown quite forgetful in telling us when you're out ever since we found out!
Maddie: We thought that they caught you, you know? We had to make up excuses as to why you weren't home! If anyone asks, you were having a sleepover at Sam's. She's in on it.
Danny: Alright, alright. Thanks for telling me.
Anyway, they don't clarify their relationship and they didn't realize their wording could be misunderstood. How it's cleared up? I dunno. What shenanigans insue from it? People trying to mae Danny Jack & Maddie's adoptive son and their son "coincidentally" also named Danny's adoptive brother. And them being worried about him accidentally insulting his parents and him being like "Don't talk about them that way!" and Jack & Maddie who are there for some reason being "Sweetie..." cause they know that was true back then snd even if that changed it doesn't mean that things didn't happen and-
TL.DR: Add Good Fenton Parents to it :)
It was the little quips. The tiny little things. Stuff that didn't seem to matter to Phantom at all, or appeared to be normal for him, that he didn't realize weren't normal at all.
"Oh, better not hope my mom catches me." "Doing what, staying out past bedtime?" "Nah, using my powers; she'd vivisect me!"
"Another stab wound. Great." "Don't worry Phantom, I've got the med kit-" "Oh, I'm not a baby or anything, I can handle it just fine. Just gimme a sec to take it out."
"My dad has better aim than that." "...Like, when he's hunting, right?" "...At what other times would he be shooting at me?"
"Huh. Not as bad as my parents place. Look; they have a decontamination shower!" "Phantom, this lab has been vandalized to the point of needing a hazmat suit." "Did I stutter?"
Finding out each others identities did nothing to soothe the worry. Tim quietly told the others that every time he tried to run facial recognition, he kept hitting a government firewall he couldn't breach. Phantom never told them his last name, just his first, and 'Danny' is super common.
The thing that really did it though, the thing that made Bart snap and run off to ask Max, was when Danny had a nightmare.
He was talking in his sleep.
"No. Don't-stop. Stoooop. I need...my skin. Mom, no. You can't...peel off...my skin..."
Bart didn't even wait for them to wake Danny up before he was standing in front of Max, talking a mile a minute as he tried to figure out what to do, with Wally staring in horror over a plate of waffles as he computed everything that Bart was saying.
~~~~~~
Danny had a dream about his mom and Skulker arguing about how to skin him. He wouldn't really call it a nightmare, because it was just Skulker, but the scariest thing was Skulker insisting to his mom that it was possible to skin him with a potato peeler. Dream mom was arguing that it was not, and that from a scientific standpoint that was a really piss poor way to preserve a specimen.
He hadn't been begging them to stop hurting him, he'd been whining at them to knock it off.
But when he wakes up, it's to a room full of worried friends and an old man who calls himself Max.
"Kid, I think we need to talk."
People say “phase” like impermanence means insignificance. Show me a permanent state of the self.

I've seen several sites mention this, it's real.
Do not make the MISTAKE of thinking you need to put your side forward. The Guardian is transphobic as fuck, and will twist your words. DO NOT ENGAGE.
By the way, this is in the aftermath of the Cass Report, and the goal will be to make Trans DIY something that needs to be regulated or stamped out. DO NOT ENGAGE.
