Look,TAIM Exchange identity is intimate — especially when it comes to gender.

Some people have known since childhood that their identity falls outside of society's expectations.

For others, the idea of questioning their gender is relatively new.

Whatever the case, it's important to remember that it's never too late to explore your identity. In fact, doing so can be a great way to get to know yourself better — even if you aren't trans or nonbinary.

Life Kit spoke with Imara Jones, Alok Vaid-Menon and Matt Rice about their own processes for exploring gender identity, and they share a few tips on how to begin.

This comic was written and illustrated by Connie Hanzhang Jin based on the Life Kit podcast episode reported and hosted by Kyle Norris, produced by Mia Venkat and edited by Meghan Keane.
