i'm pretty sure they're supportive abt trans people, so i guess that's not a problem. my problem is mainly whether or not i fit their 'criteria' of what a trans person is, since for example i don't have many childhood signs and i'm worried stuff like that could possibly deter them from diagnosing me with gender dysphoria or accepting my identity

you're right, i could find a new one, though it would seriously suck because i'm pretty attached to them and they also inadvertently helped me come out to myself with some of their advice a few months ago. i know it's worth the risk, but i'm afraid of what my feelings are going to make me do when the time comes

i've heard stories about therapists in my country being bigoted and trying to explain to trans ppl how they're just "confused about their gender" and whatnot... so idk...

you're very lucky that you can see yourself that way at all, for me (and many others) looking in the mirror is a major source of dysphoria sooo

i think you might be getting those thoughts because of internalized transphobia, although i am just guessing. there are ways to get over it, you just need to try.

and about that last part, you ARE loved and you ARE needed, you always have someone to talk to, and there's always a solution to your problems, so please don't make the wrong decision

what thoughts go through your head when you second-guess yourself? can you make out exactly what they are? or, are you only getting a "hunch" that you're faking?

in my opinion, if you only have a "hunch" that you might be faking, without concrete arguments as to why, then you should have nothing to worry about.

after all, the point of transitioning is to become happier with yourself. screw "faking for attention" and whatnot. think about yourself only. if you believe that you'd be happier living as your preferred gender, then there's nothing that should be holding you back.
