I really love being trans.
Everyday I feel a little better in my skin, a little prettier, I can feel my boobs slightly increasing in size, my skin getting softer, I'm smiling at everything and everyone outside...

I don't consider myself a girl though, or a boy. I'm trans and that's so much better... But when I say this to doctors or trans people they look shocked, almost insulted, and I'm not sure why...

the feeling will pass, the changes will slow, and you will hate yourself for every little many feature that you can never fix.

you are jaded as fuck i'm like 10 years in and i still feel the same as OP about being a woman. i don't know about her part about 'im trans and thats so much better' but i love being transsexual and i am still over the moon that i get to live and grow as a woman. it is a shame you let things get on top of you and forgot what its like to feel joy in yourself

lol im also 10 years in. I was okay with it (able to ignore it) from like year 5-9 but now im back to hating it.
>>

well i am sorry you feel that way but you have first hand experience of how your perception of this stuff can change over time, and so i feel quite sure you will come back around to some sort of 'okay'-ness. in the mean time can i suggest you stop projecting your own jaded sad feelings onto girls who are trying to express some good feels about themselves nona

Nta but most trans people have a honey moon period followed by a crash out period with risk of detransitioning followed by stability. It's important to manage expectations
>>
>>43835119
ya sure but i think telling someone who's in the good part that they'll be left with life long insecurities and that you'll 'hate yourself' is not managing expectations, its just projecting your own bad feelings outwards. as someone who got to the stability i absolutely agree with what you're saying but managing OP's expectations might look like
>i'm happy for you nona just be prepared for when changes slow down so you don't end up picking up some body image issues
not just telling her that her happiness is short lived and will gave way to inevitable misery lol

this website has a bad habit of thinking that the opposite (and therefore most reasonable) response to unrealistic positivity is being relentlessly negative and bitter

this is the truth though.
>>43835048
yeah, the times when it was ok is when I was busting my ass everyday at work and I couldn't afford to care about looking fem because I needed to be in shape. once you stop distracting yourself the dysphoria always come back, and it is never really improved

The sanest take because it doesn't require gaslighting people about "gender" and forcing them to comply with ideology
