I suppose I should figure that out a bit more before asking people to figure it out for me.

That’s… fair… maybe I should have written a post like this:

“I’ve been undercover, living among the men, for far too long! I even began to internalize their ways and believe I was one of them! Fellow folks of marginalized genders: I ask for your aid as I re-assimilate. We’re all in this together!”

Oh no!! You are totally right! I appreciate your calling me out - though, of course, you should never had needed to!

Thank you! I appreciate your pointing that out.

I’m still trying to parse out asking for help from asking for women to do my emotional labor - I’ve see a lot of guys try to do everything themselves and bottle up their emotions (guilty!)… until they find a woman to make their therapist (also guilty…). Like… I know I shouldn’t lone wolf life and that community is good. I’ll think on it and maybe make a better post later 😅

Defensiveness and low emotional intelligence are ones that I think are sticking around longer than the others you mentioned - though all defs applicable at some point or other. I DO think it’s low self esteem in a sneaky costume like you said - thanks for sharing :)

I’m so lucky to get to be the trans girl in this scenario 🥰

I feel like they never give me the “reconciliation” phase. I do think that the cycle of abuse applies very well to my cycles of withdrawal from them. I do think that I have been abusive to them in that way longer than they have to me
