My appointment is next week, but I don’t know if I can last that long. I feel sometimes like I am suffering ten million times more than the people around me for nothing. I was lectured about my gatekeeping rhetoric today for suggesting to a rich white trans man that HRT is good, actually. He doesn’t believe that you need any of that stuff to pass or be happy. and called me a boot-licking believer of colonial ideas. I can’t believe people like can exist. So little suffering and worry. Everybody just breezes through life. Maybe I’m just envious. How am I and this man both be called trans? I don’t think I have any male privilege. I don’t know. I’m so tired of being called cruel names for being dysphoric. These people pretend that they are the minority and that us dysphorics are actually oppressing them with our medical rhetoric and fascist beliefs. I know that’s mean. Being in pain makes me mean, and the degrading of my mental state. I wanted to punch him, which is a mean thought. very mean…

    No i dont think you should hate yourself for this… I really want everyone to be peaceful and happy… but if you aren’t dysphoric you just aren’t trans… you are just crossdressing. If even… lol half dont even cross dress… they are bastardizing the meaning… they can do whatever they like i suppose… but dont speak for me… dont speak over me… dont speak over others who have an actual problem to fix rather then just like to be silly… you like the self expression… transgender people have severe problems… and you are standing in the way of fixing… not helping… also when I say ‘you’ I refer to this hypothetical person… not you as in PAT… I agree with you PAT…

    By non dysphorics u meant cis people who think being trans is a personality trait? Like how can u actually fucking call urself trans and be fine w the fact that ur body works in the opposite gender way? Literally everything is different, it’s not even about passing atp, just skin texture alone can help sm w dysphoria… Like if I stop hrt my tits won’t go away and let’s imagine I won’t masculinize, I will still rope

      I try to be respectful, because I don’t understand other people and we’re all just trying to live. I just don’t know the point if a haircut alone is enough to make one trans. I don’t know… I try to respect even like the obscure genders and stuff. even if it means you only have social dysphoria.

        I understand having only partial dysphoria but this person clearly overstepping and being a fuck, he doesn’t understand a single shit about dysphoria and dares to call u those stuff because u tried to help.

        And the fact that he wants to be a part of our community without understanding dysphoria is just insulting, it killed so many people and there’s this fuck who tells u that u r bad because u telling him about hrt or whatever.

        That’s why we need to use transexual, and only those who wants to change and changes their body is transexual, that way people like him can call themselves trans all they want

      “taking pride in his womanhood as a trans man gives him the confidence to stand up to bullies and 4chan creeps” like myself.

          He was trying to educate me, before I got all emotional as AMABs tend to do. (proudly AFAB trans man who loves his female body, and prefers to express his manhood through his gentle and nurturing nature.) He said it was my ideas, not me. I was unfortunately brainwashed.
