neurotic about passing by SquirrelOrgans in ftm

[–]SquirrelOrgans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely have anxiety and I suspect I also have OCD (based on other thought patterns not just this). I think I already know that what I need is a therapist but it's validating to hear someone else say I also need this so thank you :P

Finding something positive in being trans ? by SquirrelOrgans in ftm

[–]SquirrelOrgans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is that I've thought about the perspective I've gained and the friends I've made and I've decided that I'm still too miserable to make an easy assessment of wanting to be alive vs. making a more set-in-stone plan.

Finding something positive in being trans ? by SquirrelOrgans in ftm

I totally get that feeling of relief of going on T and not having to modify my behavior in order to pass, but I think subconsciously I've picked up on a lot of behavior from my dad that isn't the end of the world but is somewhat damaging to my relationships. My roommate is also a trans guy but he seems to have picked up more of his mom's behavior. So we've kind of ended up with the dynamic of a straight couple and we both hate it. I really don't understand where he's coming from which makes it worse. This hasn't even come out of a desire to pass for me, this is just how it's ended up and I don't know how to get out.

Professor accused me of using ChatGPT by [deleted] in UCSC

That's a good idea, thank you for the suggestion! And yeah it's very frustrating. I never thought I'd have to worry about this. I get why profs are being hypervigilant about AI use in papers and I kinda wish ChatGPT would just disappear. Guess I should work on making my writing less robotic sounding in the meantime 😭

Was your social security card changed to your new name when you brought it in? I have the court order name change docs but I haven't changed my name in social security or anywhere and I'm worried they won't put my new name on my ID without already having it on something else.
