its so fucking tragic how so many older truscum push rhetoric about how being trans is horrible and miserable and you should wish you were cis because youre mentally ill and doomed to a subpar existence. and then so many young trans teens are exposed to this and internalize and believe it when they’re at the most difficult point and in desperate need of being taught optimism and hope and self-love. any truscum who’s 21 or older should feel ashamed for teaching trans kids to hate themselves more.
being trans sucks and I wish I was cis and my existence is forever doomed because of this medical disorder I have.
no it isn’t, you can be happy and any adult who has told you otherwise is a lying piece of shit
No adult told me anything. My life is pretty cool but I’m forever haunted by the fact I have severe dysphoria and it’ll never be entirely fixed
I had severe dysphoria and hated being trans but as time went by, i transitioned further, found a new community and changed my mindset i found my dysphoria was gone and i was proud and happy with being trans. and this is an experience that so many trans people go through. you’re still young, it’s too soon to give up on happiness with your identity. things will change.
I’m pretty far into my transition, I’m a year on T and I’ve got top surgery in like 2 months. I’m never going to be happy to be transgender. Just like, even though some people are okay being blind or being in a wheelchair, some people are never okay with that. i think it’s okay that I’m not okay being trans and it is nothing more than a nuisance to me.
thats not okay. being trans isn’t a disability, when you transition youre making a choice to defy what society expects from you and prioritizing your own happiness. what are you transitioning for if youre just gonna resign yourself to never being happy with it? only being a year or so into transition is not very far, you have so much more to experience and enjoy. even if you can’t feel like you can be happy and nondysphoric now, at least hold onto the very real possibility that you can be in the future. because what good does it do you forever resigning yourself to being unhappy with a fundamental part of who you are?
And it’s not that people can’t or shouldn’t feel bad about being trans, or distressed, or unhappy, or even doomed. That’s…well, not fine, but…
The problem is when those who do feel that way assert that it’s the only way to be trans, and that anyone whose experience isn’t trans (or worse, faking).
