Do you think that if you were born into a tolerant family, you would still have rep or DIY behind their backs? There's nothing more shameful or humiliating than being afflicted with GD.
>>43203262fuck no, if I was born in a tolerant family I would've transitioned in middle school, fuck I had the signs back in elementary.Whatever, being a lateshit at 21 is still worth something
absolutely. i told my family i wanted to be a girl and get a sex change when i was 6, but they were so mad then and there and consistently transphobic my whole life that i repped for 16 more years
nah I'm genuinely retarded
>>43203262>thinks the internalized shame would still be there if you had a loving supportive family who didn't ingrain in you societies hatred for tranniesdesu no i would have been very happy to learn that there was a way out and given a hug, instead of being taught that all trannies are obese ugly balding hairy pedophiles and beaten for liking MLP
my parents said gays were pedos and all get aids and die then questioned if I was gay multiple times in my childhood beside my best efforts to conform to normal. when i got a gf (she asked me out) my dad expressed relief that i wasn't gay. so I had severe issues just being myself and had severe stress and anxiety over masking. I moved away under the pretense of going to college so I could transition. i was psychologically blocked from expressing any femininity because I feared abandonment.
>>43203348I think that deep down I am mentally ill man even though I could be a better simulacrum of the real thing. As a youngshit, I could be a femboy unless they assume otherwise in which I will continue the lie.
>>43203262No; if I had never heard my parents express anti-trans views, I would’ve started taking estrogen at 17 (but not earlier, bc I didn’t want to be a girl earlier than that)
>>43203262But most of the shame and humiliation stems the way parents treat the issue.When dysphoric children (who get a lot of their morality from their parents) see the difference between how a cis son or daughter would be treated versus themselves if they transitioned, the conclusion is that they would be treated worse because they're a bad person. It's not until later in life that children see how their parents have moral failings like everyone else.
absolutely fucking not. If I had felt there was even a ghost of a chance they would accept me, I would have come out at 13 and begged them to take me to a doctor. or given today's standards, probably more like 8 or 9.
If my parents were even a little accepting of trannies I'd have come out and transitioned years before I did. Instead I get to enjoy my late(r) start and intense internalized self-hatred and shame
>>43203262Well, regardless of family, I was still born in 1986. Nobody in 1986 was telling little boys that it's okay if they'd rather be a girl. I suppose maybe if I had a family that was radical and insistent about our feelings maybe it might have come up. But remember 1986 was not 2026
>>43203262i was born into a tolerant family and still repped. it makes me wanna throw in the towel and end it all because i fumbled the ideal trooning conditions. i can't do anything right
>>43203843Why did you rep?
>>43203843Was it guilt, shame, and fear?
>>43203909Transitioning as a minor would've necessitated asking my parents for help, and my severely avoidant personality prohibits me from asking for help. I didn't want to bother them with delusions about feeling like a girl, so instead I anamaxxed since puberty started and hoped for the best by the time I was an adult and could do it on my own.
>>43204027omg same. except I didn't ask my parents for help because I knew they wouldn't because sending me to a therapist would expose their drug abuse. the anamax period was a time, blacked out once even.
If I wasn't a CPTSD-riddled mess i would basically be another person tbqh
>>43203262no, i came out at 13 asking for hrt, if they had given it to me i wouldnt have worried, i might still have diy'd around 18 since its better
>>43204040that's wild, i never blacked out since i'd sometimes end up in situations where i couldn't refuse food and had no way to purge afterwards without raising suspicion. i'd wear oversized jackets and clothes all the time because i couldn't preserve any body heat an my hands would get so cold i couldn't feel my fingers.
>>43203262i told my therapist i was trans when i was 12 if i didnt have mexican chuds as family i'd have been a youngshit
>>43204094i hope you're better now and haven't any longterm issues. I'd eat one slice of bread and a can of soup a day, sometimes skipping days eating and there was no intervention.
>>43204156Marginally. I'm still offputtingly skeletal from some angles but i plan on gaining for the first time in ages.
