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!

    That’s nonsense?

    If I have boy and I mistreat and severely abuse him his entire life and raise him next to a sister and I decide to abuse him and tell him he’s evil and horrible and also specifically tell him that I am abusing him because he’s a boy and deserves that because of him being a boy.

    And then in comparison I give an overwhelming amount of love to his sister and tell him I’m doing it because she’s a girl and he’s not and she deserves it because she’s a girl and he doesn’t because he’s a boy…

    Then it’s very reasonable for him to develop the desire to be a girl due to wanting to also get love…

    There you go… counter example.

    It’s just not true what you said
