Hey guys , I just want to know how I should deal with these thoughts . I have moments where I realize that I really do love being a woman and I like being pretty and doing girly stuff but my brain won’t stop asking stupid shit like why do I like it so much and how come men don’t wanna be women and why is being a man so uncomfortable for me and how are men comfortable that way and what do I really enjoy about being a woman anyway ? And am I sure that’s really who I am ? I can’t get these questions to leave me alone and I don’t why I feel like I need to answer them . When I hear men that have the same theme as me and they say they know if they were a woman they would be depressed it’s triggering for me because it’s like what if I start to think like that to ? Cause then that would me I am a boy and I really really really don’t want to be . I loved some of my happiest moments as a gurl . Can someone please tell me how I should respond to these types of thoughts ?

Agree with them or respond with uncertainty. You aren’t believing them, but are saying yeah, sure whatever you say. Maybe, maybe not, probably highly unlikely. Just not fighting with them anymore and going about your day. It’s not giving the thought power. It’s literally the hardest thing I’ve ever done- you are not alone. Hang in there, you got this. Remember- your ocd attacks your values and the things you love and fear the most. Label it ocd if that helps.

@anonymousN Look at it like a bully. You aren’t agreeing WITH the bully. You are just not giving it your attention. You’re saying, sure man, Cool story, bro. It has helped joining the support groups on here. There are a lot of them. Have you checked them out?
