  • I’ve never fully understood the mindset that compels some guys to be so awful, but some guys really are shitheads. It does seem largely social, but it’s also extra enticing to cis guys over other folk. Being told you’re special and deserve to be in charge for being yourself is a seductive message, just like the argument for white supremacy or ultra nationalism.

    It doesn’t mean all men will get roped in or that any need to stay in, but it is still a real threat that it isn’t your responsibility to solve. Keep yourself safe before sacrificing for others.


  • Honestly, part of the problem isn’t just with your therapist, but the outdated gatekeepy system in your county that wants to “prove” your transness before helping you. Evidence does not support this approach, which is why many places have moved away from unnecessary delays

    You are in a bad place mentally, and there is a good chance that gender dysphoria is the main cause. Sometimes people have no choice but to come out and affirm their gender, as they are unable to even function otherwise.

    I thought I could delay coming out, but I just hadn’t realized how bad things were. More importantly, I never realized how good things would be once I left that worn out mask behind. It really held me back from everything. My fears were nothing in comparison to the horror I was living, and the joys were more than I dreamed.












  • smorty!!! if your therapist was properly serving you, you wouldn’t be trauma dumping to us as often as you do. she’d have affirmed your gender ages ago and wouldn’t have fucked around for so long. you keep blaming yourself like someone in an abusive relationship!

    I’ve had these problems with your therapist for months, long before i ever talked with adora about them, so don’t think I’m angry because of her. i get really upset when therapists “wait and see” or question a person’s identity when they’re so clearly trans
