it used to hurt me so bad that i wouldn’t get to be a woman that i was extremely suicidal to the point of almost attempting. now i know that’s not that much compared with what some ppl here have to deal with, but considering my life is ok outside of trannism it tells a lot about how horrible this condition is ig
i went through twink death and honestly i think i have a full blown trauma over it, to the point where my brain got affected with memory loss, dissociation and particularly very heavy breakdowns. i basically can’t rly think about it without crying. i still struggle a lot with that lost time that i spent watching my body distorting and then the years i spent trying to repair it
but now, days pass me by and i don’t feel so awful about being a faggot on estrogen. mostly. kinda. i think i resolved a lot of my dysphoria with the treatments i’ve had. moreover, i see some unfortunate looking cis women on the street and tbh i don’t particularly feel like i want their bodies more than mine
so then, what does it mean to me to be a woman? i feel like, even if being a hrtwink doesn’t feel too horrible, i still crave that social role. i don’t want to be 50 and still be a third gender thing, it doesn’t make fucking sense, and i’m already 26. and i crave all the clothes, the permission to be soft and feminine…
but the problem is not only passing or not; it’s still a huge one and i can’t rly see a woman in the mirror tbh, and i’m not sure if i will. it’s this dichotomy: should i keep living in this comfortable but kinda dissociative state, or should i honmode and face the consequences? dilemmas, dilemmas…


i’m glad you got hopefuel from this :) personally, i’m still rly not entirely ok jxoeirkdl just enough that i don’t feel suicidal anymore, which tbh is still a massive improvement. some days are worse than others tho… but i have my hair surgery already paid and scheduled to finally fix the thing that keeps me kinda miserable which is my hairline (it’s not a norwood 6 or anything but i feel so gross with this stupid square high hairline that i have to hide with a fringe ugh). being babytrans is extremely hard and i get it :( but yeah ig in the end it’s not as black and white as passing or suicide even if it rly seems viscerally like it sometimes. much luck with everything <3
