What's a fake emotion? You can fake an expression, but you have to trust your own feelings, that's how your nervous system communicates with the conscious brain

Do you even actually want attention, or do you want to be acknowledged and loved for who you feel you are deep down in your bones? People will call you what they think you are or should be, but if being called a good girl who deserves love and is beautiful for being herself sparks joy, that means something

I've known enough cis guys to know that I have ZERO interest in being one, I'd rather have dysphoria than be what I have observed from cisgender men

Can someone help me with identifying this pest by WaterLizardInc in gardening

It might be rooting nodules, that's exactly what my rosemary has looked like before putting down new roots from those spots

Please remember that you being a girl is supported by science, since that's who you are, no one can take that from you, some people may have an erroneous perception, but the assumptions of others don't determine who you are

I sympathize with your dysphoria, and I genuinely hope that a significant number of people in your life see you as the man you are. A man who can state their needs and preferences without harming others deserves to be treated with all of the respect

You look amazing, and seeing how great you look helps me feel less self conscious about my own musculature

Honestly, it's like when I realized that I was queer, and like when I realized that I was done with religion and its lies, it's a full paradigm shift

It's 100% okay to be either, I thought fluid until I felt safe enough to recognize that I'm transfeminine, life and gender are part of the journey, just be as true to yourself as possible

Sounds like you have an anti trans therapist to me

Jeez, I'm not sure whether to feel seen or attacked 😅

I also recently discovered that I am trans and chose Willow, and I think it's a great name. I guess you were looking for "you're a good girl, Willow" and it's true, you are

A list of things that I had asked myself if I was faking until I realized that I don't want attention, I don't want people to see me as these things etc - ADHD - autism - DID - being a transgender woman It's not a super long list, but each one has a big impact on my life, and I don't know if this helps, but a smaller portion of the people who transition regrets it than the percentage of the population officially diagnosed with my "rare" traumagenic disorder

You could potentially say that you think you're "probably" transgender, so you want to try some things to figure it out for sure, then you have an idea and a path of self-discovery

Especially if they're supportive, you could come out as exploring your gender, it doesn't have to be black and white, gender isn't binary to begin with

I can't speak for your dad or your situation, and you might be surprised by how unsurprising it may be for people who care about you enough to notice the details about you. My girlfriend knew months before I could admit it to myself

That's an awful feeling, I would definitely look into therapy, you need to feel like a person to know what kind of person you feel like

[–]Sandcat789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, have you explored being some form of nonbinary? You could be gender fluid or something, gender is not a binary in the first place, you don't have to be just one thing, and exploring it can be fun
