@Anonymous I just feel like I’m more masculine….I have a very feminine body but I saw the movie I saw the tv glow and it made me realize how disconnected I feel to my body and how envious I am of men. I wish I was born a boy alot of the time
@Anonymous My family is extremely transphobic and homophobic I know I’m a lesbian but sometimes I feel like it’s so much more complicated than that but I feel too scared to explore it because of the trauma and anxiety I’ve dealt with as a woman
@Anonymous The world isn’t very nice about that stuff so I just feel scared. It makes me feel silly for feeling the way I do. Not that I think trans people are silly I just feel silly myself. I’m 21 now and I feel suffocated
@Anonymous I don’t have any trans friends I know my bestfriend would be accepting I just haven’t accepted it myself yet either
Hi, I'm an AFAB young woman but I guess I'm somewhat of a tomboy. I still consider myself a woman, though. I guess a somewhat gender nonconforming woman? Maybe that's what I am. I don't consider myself part of the LGBTQ+ community but I support the community. I probably have some gender dysphoria with some things. I love some girly stuff but I don't wear makeup (I have other reasons whay I don't wear makeup too) , dresses, skirts, but I love pink, flowers, etc. It's been kinda bugging me lately. I know I am not male, for sure, but I am definitely not a true girly girl, either. Anyone else can relate?
I believe that when I have those thoughts if they bring me anxiety and discomfort then they are OCD and not me.
My boyfriend is ftm, and I’m very supportive of him and his journey with gender. It opened a lot of conversations between us about each others gender/sexuality. I’ve known for a long time that i’m pan, but I’ve struggled a lot with my own gender. My OCD causes me to doubt myself a lot, one day i feel hyper feminine and have no desire to identify as a man, but the next day I am extremely dysphoric about my body/hair/voice and wonder if I’m ftm as well? and then it goes away the next day. Some days I don’t even feel feminine OR masculine. I spend a lot of my time ruminating over if i’m trans, and abt the possibility of me spending the rest of my life either not knowing, or settling for whatever’s easiest for myself and everyone around me. I don’t know if I actually believe I’m a man, or if I’m pretending, or if it’s just in my head. Its like I don’t know what to trust since my opinion is different every day, and it feels like I can’t trust my own intuition. It’s starting to affect my sex drive, my sleep, my self confidence, and my self image. It’s really confusing me and I’m wondering if anyone can relate or has some advice. Thank you:)
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 😩
Is it normal for this theme to legit make you feel like you’re the opposite gender and that’s what you want to be and it’s very convincing? And you just keep getting images and scenarios in ur head of you transitioning and actually going through with it? This is sooo scary and i don’t feel like myself at all anymore. It’s making me not feel like a woman or myself of how I’ve always been my whole life. I’m really nervous and scared, it’s really make me feel like this is my true feelings/ self ): it’s causing me to feel weird k. My own body and feel weird about my body parts. Like my brain is literally thinking as a trans person would feel or think like wtf??? Is this normal?!? Pls someone let me know. & and it’s making me feel like I’m attracted to woman all the sudden and i keep getting flashes of that in my head. I’m in a relationship and im scared this is gonna ruin things bc the way this theme is making me feel and my body. Ugh ihml, need some advice. Has anyone experienced exactly this??
