letters-to-lgbt-kids:

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

Doubts are normal. 

With that I do not mean “If you maybe perhaps happen to doubt your idenity, that’s fine, you’re just as valid as those who never doubt.” 

I mean: You will have doubts. We all do. It’s not only okay, it’s normal – expected, even. 

How exactly those doubts look like, how much they bother you and how often you experience them, all that varies from person to person (and can vary over time for one and the same person). But no matter the specifics, doubts are a normal part of life. 

Don’t drive yourself crazy with trying to analyze why you doubt – it’s not because you are fake, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you, it’s not because you are secretly cis/straight, it’s not even necessarily a sign you picked the wrong label. 

It’s because you are a human being. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Mom
