how do I convince myself to stop being stubborn/afraid and start hormonesI'm 24 and the first time I posted here about possibly being trans was when I was 16 lolI wasted so much time I feel sick to my stomach thinking about all the lost time and how much more masculine i have gotten But I'm so afraid to finally startI'm afraid that I don't really have dysphoria and this has all just been a long feverish compulsion and any day I'll snap out of it. I know logically how stupid that is but I'm still scared
If you're not really dysphoric you can stop taking them, the changes aren't irreversible unless you breastmax. Even then they are reversible just more expensive. Take some slow, deep breaths before you answer this question. What is holding you back?
>>42033326I am 6'3 and very powerfully built. I had some random unc ask me if I play football recently. I am tall and wide so no matter what I don't I'm not gonna be fooling anyoneThat is the biggest problem I also feel like I denied it and waited so long I'm priced into going until the bitter end at this point. I'm also a very male behaving sperg retard so I wouldn't even be able to convince people by being super behaviourally feminineI also don't think I can stomach the embarrassment of trying to learn to have a female voice or dress like a woman or wear makeup in public Additionally I am a trans chaser so I probably only developed dysphoria because of wanting to be in a transbian relationship
>>42033352Thank you for opening up about that and sharing some more details about it. It sounds almost like misplaced conscientiousness. It also sounds like disassociating from it because it hurts too bad to think about, you don't want to give yourself false hope.>Priced into going until the bitter endYou aren't, when you get older you'll be john 50, and that will be 3x as long from now as when you first started thinking about it. you'll also care less about appearance and wish you got to live as a trans woman, even if it's as a nonpassing one. Anyways you'd be surprised, I know a trans woman whos as tall as you and broad shouldered who nevertheless passes better than I do even though she seemed envious of me in some ways. >Very male behaving sperg retardOne of the things about spergs is that they tend to have an awkward mix of male and female traits. the male or female traits stand out more harshly because of it. >I am a trans chaser so I probably only developed dysphoria because of wanting to be in a transbian relationshipChasers don't want to be in transbien relationships, they hate transbiens. I would know since I dated one and know you're better than that.
>>42033428Thanks for replyingAnd yes you're rightI don't want to be hopeful and disappointed and I'm constantly very dissociated I have never heard of maladaptive conscientious before but that's definitely me...I won't be surprised. She probably at least has a very feminine face, I don't. I won't pass and I promise that's 100% trueHow do you know I'm better than that? Maybe I'm absolutely awful
Self pity bump
>>42033309if you don't take them you have to think about what you're going to do instead. you can't just think about it like "oh i want to do this but i'm scared...", you have to think about "I can do this or i can do this". what's the other option? what's your life gonna look like if you *don't* take it? are you just gonna take it later? if starting at 24 is scary, how scary is the thought of starting at 28? or 40?
>>42033903Maybe I'll just move on and stop caring about this >.>I know force fem is a stupid fetish but desu that's my dream
>>42033913do what you want just be sure about it. if the reason not to is just fear then that's a bad reason. all that matters is you think about "do i sincerely believe this will make me happier, or do i not?".
>>42033930I don't think it will even make me happy because I will still be manly I just won't have a working dick it won't do anything else for me I already knowI'm too manly to have any chance I thinkI'll be the type of "hon" people on this board endlessly screenshot and mock, what's the point
>>42033309Just fucking start you retard. If you want to stop you can stop.
>>42033890Sorry for disappearing, my phone died. Hugs and such.>>42033444If you are awful you're capable of recognizing that and entertaining that possibility, you would be a much more self aware kind of sociopath to say the least. And you wouldn't be able to do any of it to me. But given how excessively self critical you seem to be I don't think that's the way you'd be a bad person, I think if anything you're more likely to hurt others through under estimation by self destructing or giving up. He was also very infantilizing, you seem like kind of the opposite in that regard too. It makes me want to help you out but I wonder if you're looking for emotional warmth. I'm sorry anon, it's tough out there but I bet you'll be happier if you did something for yourself. I'd be proud of you like I am proud of your trips.>>42033949I don't think that's the case. The hons who get screenshotted and mocked aren't just ugly (in fact some of them are not ugly), they are getting talked about because they upset someone or produce content or something like that.
