negativity about being trans, fears of transphobia
I am just so, so scared of being trans. It can't be. I'm terrified. More scared then I've ever been before.This is going to be so hard. People aren't going to understand. They'll hate me. They'll descriminate against me. They'll see me as some nasty pervert. With America getting more mask off by the day, am I going to even have care in the future? Why would they do that to me. Why are grown adults so awful.
dysphoria
I'm huge. I'm tall and fat. It'll be obvious to everyone who I really am. I feel like an imposter. A fake. A wolf in sheeps clothes. That's how people will see me too.si
I'd rather kill myself then be someone I hate being. Oh god that's a really trans thought. Am I really trans hexbear. Please tell me this is a bad dream. I'm going to wake up and be cis. I'm going to be happy with who I am and not want to be a girl. The nightmare is going to end.I've definitely been there.

Like, obviously our situations are different, but like I didn't even wear facial hair and I look so fundamentally different from before I started transition. I don't get gendered correctly most of the time but hey I'm so much happier than before with who I am.Generally, idt people will see you as a nasty pervert. It can definitely feel that way. I had every single fear you listed here before transition. I still have some of them around people not seeing me especially with family. But the way I've gotten past all of it is literally just like... Going and doing it, and realizing people don't care. People are so much more worried about their own lives than whatever you're doing.
I know you don't believe it's true but things will get better. There are no rules for this though and you can do it however you want. You can get on estrogen and start laser if you want. There's no timeline. Things will get better though.
Fwiw I know a girl who is 6'3 and quite large and she gets misgendered like one time a year. Turns out that having facial fat already built in actually makes you pretty andro. I saw a picture of her beforehand today and she's unrecognizable from what she looked like before
It is genuinely unbelievable to me the transformations I've seen. I just can't imagine that being me.
I really hope so :meow-hug:
Really they will. If you happen to live in California lmk, we can get things like FFS covered through insurance which is a game changer. Same with laser hair removal and ofc hrt and stuff
Unfortunately I'm not, covering all that would be such a burden off my shoulders.
