my therapist of 3 years starting showing up to my sessions dressed as a woman. they're 60+ years old and have now suddenly decided to start transitioning ig and they decided that therapy sessions with their trans clients like me are "a safe space to start" since I'll "understand"they've vaguely talked about wanting to transition in the 60-70s when they were growing up but nothing beyond that. so for them one day to just show up in a wig & woman's clothing is super jarring and uncomfortable but also makes a lot of sense esp with them being divorced when they told their ex-wife a decade agoi hate them for putting me in this position bc until now I've really liked them, they were extremely help with me breaking down the mental barriers to starting to transition (23 old hon when I started), but now all my sessions are fucked bc I feel like I'm looking into some cown mirror of how I think I look like. like i'll literally never be anything beyond a fucked hairy man in a dress trying to make the world believe smth I'm not. def need therapy from this fking shit
>noooo you have to be young and fuckable to wear female clothing
>>41506504ironically yes.
>>41506504You do, unless you want to be a spectacle and optics nuke. Freak.>>41506496You may have gotten groomed. I hope for your sake you're a trutrans and it was just a coincidence.
>>41506496tbhon what if he is doing this as a 360 reflection of yourself to show you how everyone feels around you?
It's totally fine optics to literally be the "reproduce by grooming kids" discord predator meme, but it's terrible optics to be an adult and exercise your freedom to dress how you please, never change /tttt/
>>41506496picking on trans clients specifically probably isn't proper but I guess they can't change over and over during the day so it's either all trans clients or they're having to be a woman in front of everyone (or she's truly i. And I get your feelings but on the other hand it's not like you can tell her that she shouldn't transition because she's a therapist. Obviously you can find another same as any other situation where a therapist makes a personal life decision incompatible with your future care (simply moving to another city comes to mind or quitting practice).
the absolute state of therapy hons hahahha
>>41506496Deserved for going to a male therapist. What did you expect? lmaoJust go to a female therapist like normal people do.
>>41506496that try guy is such a GOOBER
>>41506496Well now you know how people feel when they see you, how does it feel like to look into the mirror?
knowing since the 1960's and having to end up as the omegahon is brutal
>>41508438not to mention watching your clients transition over and over again and become beautiful girls that has to be horrifying
>>41508438i guess its sort of like seeing someone with their face melted, internally they are just as good as i am but it sucks that they have to look like shit
>>41508483if i broke 20 years later and wasn't able to do that i think seeing that many happy trannies would turn me into a serial killer
>>41506496This seems highly unethical, like he's making you give him therapy when you are literally going there for a service to get healthy. Or she I guess, idk idc
>>41508527i dont think, uhh "they" know how uncomfortable it is making OP
>>41508540Literally how can you be a therapist with this little emotional intelligence though. Like theres no way. Something isn't adding up it's inexcusable
>>41508558>>41508527Because she's malebrained and going to a male therapist is weird and a bad idea and all her other patients are likely MRA activists and guys with an actual criminal record. OP is probably the only patient she has who believes women are human.
>>41508527It seems unethical because it completely invalidates his competency. A therapist, to be able to treat patients, is supposed to know something. Whether he actually does or not keeping up the professional appearance is part of the job description. So to be 60+ years old and suddenly figuring out you want to be the opposite gender completely invalidates his position. The right thing to do for him is to retire. These greedy contemporary hacks make fun of Freud but those old school psychs would never have pulled this shit.
