It doesn’t help anybody…

I am for example depressed, have trauma and lead an unhappy life with no purpose and that is filled with feelings of deep inadequacy.

And I ask myself… could it be that I want to be trans just because the idea of being a woman due to trauma has become something that feels safer to me (even if I’m man) than the idea of being with a woman and my wish to transition is just so I can fulfill some deep seated need… essentially instead of feeling adequate and confident enough to express my attraction to a woman and love a woman in a relationship, I instead try to love myself as a woman because I’m scared of failing or being inadequate as a heterosexual man

That plus my father’s abuse due to his extreme hypermasculine expectations and my sexual trauma from pornography have made me afraid and alienated from the idea of being a man and from heterosexuality.

And then I developed dysphoria after the fact… I literally said “okay I want to be a woman because I think then I can fulfill this deep seated need, but trans women need to have dysphoria so now I should start to feel dysphoria” and then and only then after starting to imitate what people said they were dysphoric about, did I start feeling it which to me seems like I induced dysphoria artificially.

Why… why isn’t that a viable explanation!

    Here’s the thing tho, you have been doing this same thing for 3 months straight and I can’t just argue with you on all these posts with multiple paragraphs. Maybe you’ll have to figure these things yourself, or someone else will be there to entertain your ramblings, I don’t know. The point is, you can keep doing the same thing over and over again as much as you like, but it gets tiring and I’d rather not see it atp.

      I am sorry you are right about it… but this time it’s different. This is genuine and not fueled by self hatred. I am sorry if I have overwhelmed you in the past…
