hi. i'm the anon who sent that hate ask a while back and then apologized.
i don't know why i'm sending you this.
i'm not trans (because it's all hypothetical and i won't do anything about it) but i think maybe if i lived in a better world i would transition. i hate myself so much for this.
i think if i just give it more time i'll forget all about this whole deal. it's just a hocd-esque thing. i'll just move on with my life and remember it as a bad dream.
plenty of people started identifying as trans during the pandemic and then realized they're actually cis when things opened back up. i started a few years before that, but it's pretty much the same thing. it's normal. they live normal lives now and so can i.
i just ended up with these feelings because i've been chronically online since i was a pre-teen. it's all just stupid internet stuff. it doesn't get to actually have an effect on my life.
it's all a bad dream.
Hi, welcome back, happy to see you !
First, I don’t especially want you to transition, but I want you to be in peace with your gender and it doesn’t seem to be the case.
Plenty of people started identifying as trans during the pandemic and realized they‘re cis after it ? Well, I never looked into it, so I‘m going to believe you. But it doesn’t seem to be your case. You started before the pandemic and you’re still struggling with that.
You also seem to make the argument that you are in a specific social context (chronically online since pre-teen) that cause your gender struggles, like all those people who got back to being cisgender after the pandemic where only trans because of the specific social context of the pandemic and the lockdown.
Even if I take all that at face value, it doesn’t work. Those people live cis lives now because the contexte that « made them trans » was temporary. Is your context of being chronically online going to change ? Do you want it to change ? If being chronically online is part of your life, and being chronically online is what make you want to transition, then it isn’t going to change.
How long will you accept to live in a bad dream ? Say you started feeling this way just before the pandemic (~ end of 2019), it’s been at least 6 years. Isn’t it a little too long for something that’s just going to pass ? Don’t you want to live for yourself rather than for the idea of a normal life ?
You can’t just run from your feelings and let them ruin your life ad vitam eternam.
I‘m sorry the world isn’t a place that let you transition with the joy and peace you deserve.
You can take step toward a more masculine apparence without explaining anything to anyone or committing to a transition.
Also, more based on our previous interactions but : wanting to transition, being masc, being a man… nothing of that make you evil, bad or wrong. No identity can define your morality. It’s your actions and how you treat others that can.
