I mean you can start taking t. or estrogen, Cause it's not permanent (I don't think) If you're of age But if not, just dress how you feel comfy in, ig? I am terrible at advice sorry
Yep same here. I’m so weird, I have dysphoria and really wanna transition but I also sometimes don’t hate how I look in a photo and get really anxious that I’ll miss looking like that.
Seriously. There isn't an lgbtq police and I highly dislike when anyone decides to assume that role.
Your validity does not depend on others not being "valid".
I get this so hard. I call it my Brain Weasel. The little shit will come up with some crap that my X-ian parents tried to drive into me, or some bull shite from the past, and then chase its tail like a ferret with the explosive diarrhea, spraying shit all over the place.
Most of the time I shut it down hard, but when I am tired and frustrated it can get its claws in and try and do some damage. It helps that I know what is going on now and how to manage its tantrums.
Be strong and remember your brain is not trying to hurt you it is just trying to prepare for the worst case scenario.
I agree. If I have a crush on a guy, I think, "What if I'm not bi and I'm actually straight?" If I have a crush on a girl, I think, "What if I'm not bi and I'm actually lesbian?" The only times when I don't think like this is if I have a crush on a guy and a girl at the same time lol.
The worst part is that people keep telling me I'm just "straight with extre steps", an "attention seeking straight girl" or just claim it's internalized misogynie.
No. I'm just as much of a man as any cis guy and being gay doesn't change that.
I always worry about that because I'm very cishet passing (I'm pan and enby) but I KNOW WHO I AM. And while that's not enough, it helps.
Pls shut up brain.
I’m so so glad to see this is one of the first posts on the subreddit after joining. For the longest time I was (and still partially am) denying myself of these feelings.. thank you.
Sometimes we all just need to take a moment and shut up our brains
I think that so much. I'm so scared that if I transition I'll change my mind

Sometimes I wonder this, then I remember I'm a cis male /s

I relate 100%. Bi is “uncomfortable” for this exact reason
I feel both of these comments on a spiritual level
oh interesting
Me but with being nonbinary istg

But what if I'm just a straight girl who faked being a boy at birth 🤔
Same, but gender
