Yes yes, i know. “Internalized Transphobia” is almost a buzzword now. Used by Theyfabs to talk down on actual real trans people with real dysphoria. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t actually exist.

I see so many posts on here about “I am not a woman cause I don’t look like one” or “I’m so malebrained, I’m probably faketrans”.

Do we not believe in ‘Neurosex’ (or whatever people call it now) anymore? You already are a woman/man regardless of how you feel or look right now.

And yes, I know that won’t magically fix your dysphoria, but it’s important to not make your already very shitty situation even worse by constantly trash talking yourself.

There is also no fucking thing like “faketrans” or “male/femalebrained”. Yes I use these terms too, as a joke. In an ironic way. But I’m starting to feel some of y’all are starting to actually believe that bullshit. “A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth” ~Joseph Goebbels (lmao ik)

Sorry if this comes off as preachy. I’m just trying to help. I know we wanna doom here in peace. But maybe sometimes posts like this one are necessary to not completely lose hope.

Love you all.

    I think it’s some sort of social contagion too. I used to never care about such things, but upon reading a lot of things on here and subreddit, it rubbed off on me. It took sometime to get rid off of these brainworms.

      I feel like I’ve gotten more brainwormed again in attempt to attain perfect passing, whereas before I was getting comfortable with being passing in person (and only getting misgendered on occasion), but now I feel like I have words for everything wrong with me, and it made me paranoid that I pass, but only because people are being polite

        I’m sorry, social contagion is terrible on 4t-adjacent spaces. It took me a long time to adjust and stop caring. 💚

        I think it helped me in some way. I got a much steadier foundation that is not bothered by people’s words anymore. But I understand that it is probably not the case for other people, and the weeks of me being brainwormed and suicidal about it sucked.

    I can’t possibly view myself as being female until I start to even vaguely resemble it. Having body hair from my fingers and toes all the way up, a full beard, and the beginnings of a thinning hairline tends to prevent one from looking female. I don’t care about male/femalebrained it’s all learned socialization and I never even got seen as a real male to begin with. I can reject perceiving myself as something I’m not while still taking every step I need to get where I want to be.

      That’s more reasonable than some of the other takes I have read here now. And I can agree with most of it. But I think you would still benefit from understanding that you are a woman “trapped inside a mans body”. Maybe just subconsciously it will help you. But yea I understand why you would struggle with that.

        I will probably retrospectively see myself in that way. Right now I just see myself as someone who is male but who needs to be and is gradually making myself female. If I can’t act female, be seen as, or look female I can’t convince myself that I am even internally. This is basically just a perspective of “trapped in” or maybe a long explaination of experiencing that internally. It is the best way I have to convey how I perceive myself. I am resistant to trying to see myself as female admittedly as it is more painful than being a man rejecting what I am.

    Yeah it gets bad, like dysphoria and misery is one thing but I’ll see people talking about bottom surgery with the same exact language as the people who hate us and like, come on. Respect yourself. You can be sad and still do that.

    But actually faketrans people exist. I’m faketrans as hell, no cis woman would be like me. I know that I’m not a guy tho. My troon thoughts are a result of bpd + asperger + social contagion + porn destroyed brain + ideation of femininity + being femboy groomed by the internet(catalyst) = ROGD at 16. I even type in a malebrained way :(

      omg u can’t be serious? why do some people on here unironically believe transphobic propaganda.

      Porn has nothing to do with being trans. Trans social contagion doesn’t exist. Autism has nothing to do with being trans, it’s only correlated and there are multiple other explanations for it. Ideation of femininity? What does that even mean. Being a femboy? Yea like many trans women were before they realized who they actually were. Not a sign against but probably for being a women.

      Let me know if this was just a joke or something, im too retarded to detect irony

        I’m halfway serious but some of this stuff is actually true. Well I’ve realized that it isn’t going away, my mind is too far gone and I have to troon out. And I actually did my first injection today. Sometimes I feel dysphoria and I’m miserable, sometimes I don’t and I feel normal, sometimes I see myself as feminine and I feel euphoric. I presume it is strongly linked to bpd which I might have. I had similar kind of mood swings and phases in the past, before I had ever had dysphoria or troon thoughts. Right now dysphoria is a catalyst for bpd which I’m trying to eliminate. Ultimately the best thing would be to accept and to embrace the pain in my life, become accustomed to it. Not see it in a negative way.

      Phenotype or actual body composition that changes from sex hormones? What would you say about a cishon? Or an inter woman? Does nobody here believe in the “woman trapped in a mans body” anymore?

    I want to stop believing in malebrain, faketrans and AGP, but I can’t, because I’m a living proof of it all being real. I’m no different from any femboy/sissy/sneedhon.

          But those things are not relevant at all. Fake trans still doesn’t actually exists and is just a made up term to gatekeep medical help for trannies.

          You don’t need dysphoria as a child. Who cares if you have a weird fetish, being a tranny is traumatic and can lead to weird kinks. Socialization is an ongoing process and doesn’t just stop. Girlmode and you will change. Wanting a vagina for sexual reasons is pretty normal considering that whats it fucking made for no?
