Anyone here struggling with transgender OCD? My OCD decided that this is my main OCD thought now... I was struggling with it in the past as well as with SOOCD but also with internalised misogyny and homophobia. So it was a little bit complicated to find out what I am. But I am not trans and I am a lesbian. My tocd constantly tries to tell me that I am trans... I don’t have dysphoria, I don’t want to be the other sex, I don’t want to transition, I like being who I am, I don’t feel uncomfortable in my skin. It was not always like that and that’s what my ocd uses. It reminded me that in the past I didn’t felt like that that must mean deep down I am trans. I constantly think if I want to be a woman whenever I walk past a mirror so I avoid them now. I can’t even look at trans people (online) because it got so bad and I question it for hours!!The worst thing is that my tocd tries to tell me I want top surgery but I don’t want it. I am extremely scared that it will make me do this surgery... I have already written letters to people close to me that if I am going to do the surgery they should stop me. I think I am going insane. I don’t want that surgery. I like my body. I like being female. I got rid of that ocd but it came back... It constantly wants to push me to do a surgery I don’t want. Has anyone else this? And has anyone a tip how to get rid of it. At least the surgery part because this gives me huge anxiety.

2 nights ago I saw something on my phone and it has now spiraled into me scared of being trans or being gay because i don’t want to be… now i have a huge fear of what if i am gay and am attracted to woman or what if im not comfortable in my body and want to turn into a man. It’s freaking me out - my ocd always makes me question my character! Has anyone experienced this 😩

having so-ocd has to be the hardest thing ever, and having different sub types pop out after is even harder. i want these thoughts to stop, when i think about ending up with a man i feel like it’s the end of the world, when a sexual or romantic thought about a man pops up i feel like throwing and my stomach hurts. i don’t want to be straight or end up with a man. i know my body knows what it wants and that’s why it’s making me anxious and stressed but i just want this ocd to stop, i miss who i was before this. are there any tips on how to battle SO-OCD and be back to who you were? i was in remission for almost a month and the thoughts that did come i didn’t care for, but it’s back harder this time.

I wouldn’t really say I have SO-OCD, but it manifests in some areas of my TOCD. Like if I see a woman for example my thoughts will go “what if I like her but as a man?” like my thoughts say I’m a straight man instead of a straight woman. And it’s really bothering me. If I see an attractive woman my brain will re-wire and imagine myself as a man looking at an attraction woman and it gets super uncomfortable that I have to like shake my head and say “no no no no no” multiple times to get the thought out. I know that counts as a compulsion but it’s hard to not do it because it’s so triggering. Now I don’t mind if I like women, however I’m really scared that I’m actually a straight man who likes women (or at least a bisexual man, considering I like men) and I hate it because I don’t want to be a man. Like I’ll think of my desired relationship as a woman dating a man but my OCD will switch it up to me being the man dating the woman, which is the opposite of what I want. I don’t want to be a man at all and I don’t want to date a woman, both of those are the opposite of my desires, but I’m still so scared. I’ll accept myself if I actually like women and am a bisexual woman, however I heard that being bisexual can mean being trans which scares me (for the record it was said in reddit by a sub which is mainly focused on a pseudoscientific phenomenon, that is still believed by the members to be true, so it’s definitely not a trustworthy statement, but my OCD will use anything to work against me) Does anyone here relate a little? 🥲
