Not transitioning into a non-binary gender in my teens and instead in my mid-to-late-twenties where I am now. I internalized a lot of rhetoric from other people that I simply had to accept myself or feel comfortable with a narrative of being "natural". Ultimately, after having a breakdown and taking effort to change my body/appearance did that prescribed self-acceptance finally happen. It just didn't happen on other people's terms. The biggest takeaway I learned was not to lie to myself and not to accept other people's convictions too much. It was a lesson in individualism and boundaries.
