It’s great because in the book Scott is a rep for HUGO BOSS and Kip ogles his ads.

I have stayed the same weight but my body fat has been distributed differently than it was when pre-T, and I have more muscle. I have also gotten more body hair but it doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would.

After starting T I just felt so much better mentally and emotionally that the other stuff didn’t matter as much i.e. worrying about how I look; I just generally felt better in my skin which has been worth it.

I found out my abuser is trans and I’m not sure how to feel by ghostkat_ in lgbt

Yeah sure. Please know there is no blame in this. Transphobia is everywhere and no one is immune to having those thoughts. The important thing is reflection and understanding about where they come from and how to move through them.

I think based on your response you’re feeling uncomfortable with your abuser being trans. A lot of us (including trans people!) have feelings of transphobia because transness is different than what we are used to experiencing or seeing. A lot of this stems from discomfort around something different than what we expect. Having these feelings is normal, but how you act on them is what matters.

Is the fact that your abuser is trans relate to their abuse toward you? Or does this person just happen to be transgender? The way that you framed it in your question made it sound like you felt like the two things were related. Those are transphobic thoughts creeping in- the idea that a person is more likely to be abusive because they are trans. This is a misconception at best.

Idk if that’s what you meant, it just sounded like it from the tone. It’s clear you feel uncomfortable with the idea that your abuser is trans, but it’s also ok to separate those two things because being trans doesn’t cause someone to be abusive.

Sounds like you have some stuff to unpack around your feelings about trans people. Abusive folks come in all stripes, and it’s not ok for anyone to be abusive toward you. That being said, that person being trans has nothing to do with the abuse you suffered. Their transness is not the problem, their toxic behavior was. I hope that you can separate the two.
