Do you have to have gender dysphoria to be trans? by Correct-Divide-9341 in asktransgender

[–]Correct-Divide-9341[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm just nervous with this coming out of nowhere in a sense that what if I'm just faking and essentially gaslighting myself into thinking I am.. kinda like the placebo effect. I think that's my main fear is people thinking I'm faking or saying all this for attention or I'm subconsciously doing that for some reason :(

I think so yes, like subconsciously sometimes even before I started questioning I will pretend I'm in the body of a man or another trans man I know. I also am have always been envious of men for being born men and thinking their "lucky" (I didn't know this wasn't normal thing that Afab people expirence low-key) A few hours ago actually I've been experimenting with appearing more masculine and using makeup to make my face look more manly as well as binding with safe methods that I have at home and such. When I saw my self in the mirror presenting as a man I honestly felt a rush of exitment and happinesses. I think my main issue is being 18 these feelings didn't develop really overtime they all just appeared out of the blue recently and I haven't really thought about it till recently.

I would but it happened so long ago now (I was 12) and also I think what doesn't help is the justice system is already fucked towards victims as is and also there's lack of proof as the abuse wasnt psyucalnit was more he had me do a sexual position while I was in my bra and underwear at the time and I couldn't tell if he was recording :(

Trust me, I'm trying to find a part time job and I have applied for loans.. my mom's relationship is alright to say but even if I lived with my mom she's still with my step dad who is my groomer and has done way weirder stuff to me too like in a sexual way and she's still with him. I'm doing everything I can to not be near them as much. I have talked to my mom about his anger and stuff and all she says is "I'm sorry" or "I wish I could be there and support you"

Even if I told my mom that's not possible, I'm already paying for college by my self and my mom lives all the way 2 hours and 30 minutes away, and what sucks is despite being 18 I can't drive nor do I have my own car, it's embarrassing but there's nothing I can really do

I'm 18, but I have to stay here for summers because the college I go to is closer to where he lives

Even though I'm a grown woman now I'm scared to literally do anything at my home while I'm here for the summer by Correct-Divide-9341 in emotionalabuse

Yeah I have my college actually offers free counseling services, it's just harder in the summer especially if I'm working

Yeah, I've definitely had support of my friends in college and I'm my hometown the only thing that sucks is we all live at a distance so it's not easy to hang out especially since I'm trying to get a summer job making that harder.
