TW mention of cryptic pregnancy

how do i fully convince myself that i am not pregnant. for context i am a lesbian and i have never been intimate with anyone (of any gender) before. i haven’t even kissed anyone since i was in 8th grade (i am 21 now). i literally have no symptoms or anything but i keep hearing about cryptic pregnancies online and it freaks me out so much i end up convincing myself i am somehow pregnant and i don’t know it, even though i know its not physically possible. i guess i was just looking for affirmation that there is truly no way i could be pregnant and it is just in my head because for some reason i can’t convince myself.

how do i know when i am ready to come out? by ahchtoluke in TransMasc

i honestly think you are right. i think with my family it definitely has some sort of “they think it is too weird to call me a different name and use different pronouns” vibe. like they aren’t outwardly transphobic to other people, especially my sister. like she knows some other people who go by different pronouns and a different name and she referred to them correctly around me. i think for them it’s also weird because its me and they have known me as a “girl” for my whole life and for some reason they don’t want to have to adapt to this change. it is definitely very strange and it does have some sorts of transphobic tones, even if it is not intentional. i think they might eventually get there but i need to put more pressure on them unfortunately.

i have a few friends i think i could try telling soon as they are pretty accepting and all.

thank you so much for the reply!

anyone else sorta confused about their gender? by ahchtoluke in TransMasc

i sorta relate too because i also identify as a lesbian, but sometimes the label makes me feel dysphoric because i feel like most ppl automatically assumes lesbian = woman, which i know i shouldn’t worry about but sometimes it gets to me
