I live with my mom, she's a psychologist who works with transgender people a lot. I never really believed in that kind of thing, but I was ok treating trans people the way they wanted since it felt like it would be mean otherwise.I've been having a hard time lately, and I'm sure these thoughts will pass before long, but I've been feeling a lot of what she says her gender dysphoric patients feel and I've been wondering if maybe I'm a little bit FTM somehow.I'm scared to ask my mom because I feel like she'll just confirm it and I don't want to feel tied to any decisions about who or what I am until I'm ready to make them.This might be the wrong board to ask, but I feel like /LGBT/ would hear my story and just judge me further along on the LGBT route.How do I know if I'm really trans or if this is just some kind of idea I picked up from social media?
carve up your sex organs to be sure
>>33894634not really the epic pwn she thinks
>>33894634Well, how do you feel? How long have these feelings been going on? Did you have them as a child? How do you think you would feel if you woke up tomorrow as a man?
>>33894902I did occasionally feel them as a kid, but I'd always been told that you don't have to conform to society's expectations of gender 100% so feeling that way about a few things doesn't necessarily mean anything.I think aside from the surprise of it, I'd be happy if I woke up with my sex changed. I'd feel less like I'm 'wrong' for liking the stuff I do, I'd feel less grossed out with my body, overall a step up.
>>33894978>I'd feel less like I'm 'wrong' for liking the stuff I dowhat kind of stuff?
>>33894978You should elaborate more how you feel about your body and what things you'd feel more conformable doing. Repulsion with your body and desire for a male body is part of being FtM, but it is also totally normal to feel grossed out by your body, especially as a woman. So you have to explain your feelings more
Preemptive RIP for your titties
>>33894634imo when women form protective shells around their heart and feel less of the flow of love, they tend to drift into a more masculine stage; in my view, in extreme trauma, testosterone and transitioning becomes a way to reclaim agency over their narrative
>>33894634>FTMjust go for it, who cares, worst case scenario you'll just have to pay for breast implants and pretend it was just a phase like an emo preteen
