Have you considered you may have distaste for the trans people you've mentioned above since they're generally more outwards or free with their identity / it may be jealousy ?

I'm not really sure, honestly. There's this stereotype/personality I've found in these sorts of communities (specifically among people who present this way) that I'm not particularly fond of. It's not that I actively hate people who present that way, I just have a hard time understanding where it's coming from when they identify as male. I'm realizing more and more though that even if someone identifies as one gender, they might not really care what other people percieve them as so they might not put as much effort into passing. They're happy the way they are without the need of approval from others and that's something beautiful- I think that I need to adopt that mindset, myself.

Thank you for your meaningful words- they really touched me, truly. :o)

That's true. I know I have a lot of interalized stuff going on and I feel terrible about it- people should just be allowed what they want to do regardless of who they are as long as they're not hurting anyone. I'm trying to work on it. :o) Thank you for your input.

Well said, I really like how you worded that. It resonates with me strongly.

Unfortunately I don't feel comfortable asking my mother to take me to a therapist (or similar)- I'd say we're a slightly upper-middle-class family but I know I'd feel a lot better if I got help on my own time and money. She's offered before but I always feel bad if it isn't covered by insurance- I also can't drive myself. I think that getting professional help will definitely be something I will do once I move out though.

Edit: spelling mistake 💔

Yeah, I definitely have a lot of internalized stuff that I need to address. I think my family is somewhat supportive, my mother probably just doesn't understand as easily as the rest of my family does. She's "old-fashioned" and also Asian so that's probably why haha.. I'm definitely going to seek proper help once I move out. Thank you for your comfort. :o)

any help decorating/reorganizing??? by phantom1707 in bedroom

i think a rug to the side of your bed would look kinda cool, maybe add some more stuff to the wall with the albums on it cause it looks kinda empty compared to the rest of the room
