i went to the same school first through twelfth grade so i was familiar with this guy for most of my life
in 9th grade online learning i started to do a bunch a stuff with him on discord (instead of actually doing important school stuff lmao) and it’s one of the (many) things from that era that i recall the most and i remember finding the most fun
that was also the time i used to make female alt accounts “for the sake of trolling”, one of which i interacted with him with
and then a few months into 10th grade, when we went back in person… it took me a bit to realize it, but yeah, i had a crush on him
it actually became hard to talk to him irl at times, especially because i didn’t even understand why it happened or honestly what it even was at first
like i even had a dream (sleep dream, that is) where i was in a car that he was driving and we were hanging out just like that, and i couldn’t possibly understand why that made me feel so… simultaneously ashamed and satisfied
i think it died down towards the end of HS, but then eventually a good time after i started HRT the yearning has become genuinely insane
like i would’ve said i was “50% no attracted 49% female attracted 1% male attracted” when i was pre HRT… now? “30% no attracted 65% male attracted 5% female attracted”, the explicit male libido is gone (thankfully) and in its place it’s fucking infuriating yearning and want to be with a man
i genuinely can’t believe im saying that “want to be with a man” but i am, holy shit. it’s kinda crazy now that i’m admitting it through text
and now, i still think about him. recently he texted me for some random crap, and i was honestly shocked for a sec until i realized it was just some joke where he pretended to be near me and was nothing more. that was the first time we’ve talked in literally forever
do i still have a crush on him? genuinely probably, when i think about spending the rest of my life and settling down with someone and becoming a wife and getting a husband, it’s always his face
even though his face is literally less masculine than my skullhon face LMAO, i feel like the thing that hurt the most when i was younger was that i knew it would never happen. he’s probably on the more progressive side, like easily top 5 most progressive of the people who i graduated with, i think he’s one of the people who’s least likely to care im a tranny… but that doesn’t mean he’d wanna be with me, why would he? i’m the probably-autistic weirdo guy he had fun with back in school and would be happy to meet up with from time to time again… not a real woman he’d wanna love and spend the rest of his life with
can’t i just get another crush? random people on the street or online are hot, but they aren’t him. fuck my stupid tranny life all this from my delusional emotions acting up + being reflective on my HS life at the same time + genuinely losing my mind completely separately from all that too, three way combo coincidence
🫂
I think that reasoning stopped me from strongly feeling crushes or letting myself get attached to guys in high school. there was zero chance they’d want me especially not as a guy. maybe there’s probably some internalized homophobia there too.
yeah
difference for me is that i didn’t even realize what i was feeling at first, so i didn’t do anything to let it not grow out of control
It hurts. Before hrt my sexuality was repressed and driven only by desires induced by Adam’s venom. I didn’t even realise I had crush on that one short, delicate and cute guy from my high school until after we graduated and lost contact. I still think about him - yesterday I woke up and while lying on the bed I half-consciously daydreamed about caressing him… Before transition I used to make fun of women yearning for their high school crushes, and now I’m just like that.
“Adam’s venom” is an amazing phrase wow
but yeah, i genuinely didn’t understand women yearning like you mentioned for most of my life, so the difference between then and now is kinda crazy
Right? Like my whole sexuality was erased and overwritten. Now I finally feel good and comfortable with the way I feel attraction towards others, it’s like… like if my brain was made to be run on estrogen, waow.
lmao ikr
Your username was a lie - it’s fembrained as hell.
i’m still malebrained in all other aspects, but thanks
