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.
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.
