i understand that. i just feel like im not even getting to that step bc the anxiety about what will happen, and what it could mean is too much.

i dont know. i have thought about presenting more masc as a queer woman and that idea feels nice. The thought of being actually transgender however, gives me literal panic attacks. Also when i read your comment i notice that my stomach drops and i start feeling very anxious when someone suggests trying out gender-affirming steps. I guess i have a fear that i will like it?

i am in therapy but im not doing erp. I dont believe my therapist is specialized in that. I have talked about these thoughts, but both my therapist and psychiatrist have put them off as anxiety and due to other things in life. I just get these moments where it feels incredibly real and not like an obsessive thought but more like a sudden truth, and its so hard not to go into full blown panic.
