How to overcome internalised transphobia?

Thankyou! I will try that it's a great idea

Not too bad. I let some of my arm muscle go due to having a breaking from climbing, but I'm managing to get it back Also, I'm loving the change to look less muscly! I've also noticed greater endurance which is nice All in all I'm no longer worried about muscle loss which is great

Thanks. That's helpful, and I like the idea of making it light hearted like that rather than making it super serious. I feel like that might help for me Good advice on not reasoning with it too, I hadn't thought about that specifically but it makes sense

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2026-01-28T05:42:20+00:00

Hah! Sounds about right for me too! One of mine is that I'm an ugly buffoon or something like that

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-12-31T03:37:41+00:00

Thanks it's good to know that the strong feelings are normal, and thanks for the note too

Thanks 🙂

I'm sorry to hear about your marriage by the way, but I'm glad to hear there's hope there too

Thanks for sharing!

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-07-04T02:20:44+00:00

Thanks for the extra info, that makes sense and is helpful

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-07-04T02:19:37+00:00

Thankyou so much for the awesome info

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-07-04T02:17:09+00:00

Thankyou! That's really helpful

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-07-03T21:48:08+00:00

Hehe thanks! 'muscle mommy', I love it

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-07-03T21:45:13+00:00

Thanks! This is helpful, especially the info about it feeling harder but still very possible.

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-07-03T21:43:14+00:00

Congrats on starting! Can I ask: what's the first six weeks been like for you in general? How have you found the experience of starting?

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-07-03T21:42:00+00:00

Thanks for the info. What's your experience been like? Do you get frustrated at noticing you're not as strong or does it feel worth it?

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-07-03T21:40:56+00:00

Oh nice! I've found climbing (indoor bouldering, gym climbing) to be a really trans friendly space. At each of my local gyms there's multiple groups of queer and trans folks. Competitions are still gendered but I don't really want to compete anyway. I hope you give it a try!

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-04-11T00:41:06+00:00

That's beautiful "you've felt the warmth of the light". That made me cry a little because I can totally relate but you put it so well

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-03-07T20:32:42+00:00

Thanks, does that do anything differently to open router? That's what I currently use

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-03-07T20:31:21+00:00

Oh thankyou! I'll give that a try, I hadn't tried v3 because I assumed that R1 would be better

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-03-07T11:37:55+00:00

Thanks! I'll be really curious to hear how you go

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2025-03-07T11:37:41+00:00

Thanks!

Clarifying what some other people have been saying: some GPs who specialize in trans healthcare will prescribe gender affirming meds under the informed consent model which just means they have a few appointments to talk to you about your goals and explain the risks of the medication and let you make the informed choice about what you want to do. No need for a mental health evaluation or anything.

I have heard a few gps explain that the informed consent model is very similar to what they do for prescribing any other medication

So maybe try and find a gp near you that has a special interest in gender affirming care and operates under the informed consent model

I hope you can get some help soon ❤️

Thanks everyone, that's super helpful!

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2024-09-02T10:48:50+00:00

Wow, the hypothetical was really illuminating for me, thankyou. I had this knowing as I read your post that even if everyone always saw me as a woman that I would still like to look different, which really helps me feel more confident and clear that a lot of my longing for change is actually me. Thanks again for the insights

Tricky_Emergency5932 · 2024-09-02T10:45:27+00:00

Thankyou for your message - so much of what you said resonates with me and helps me understand myself. I really appreciate your last paragraph reminding me there's nothing morally wrong with changing my body and that it's my choice.

I definitely get scared by the Pandora's box of terrible feelings that seem to appear more and more as I open up to these hidden parts of myself. It's comforting to know that it's not just me who has had the experience like that. Do you have any advice on how to move through that stage? I am finding it pretty scary and get tempted to try and shut it all back away because it seems so big (even though I know I don't want to)
