Hey I’m new here!! :3

For context, I’m pre-HRT but have appointments coming up.

I’m curious. What do you do when you get pangs of denial? I have written dowm a list of logical reasons of why I’m a tgirl. But that doesn’t change the fact that sometimes I feel like I’m in denial of something I logically know myself to be.

Thanks, have a nice day!!

    I endorse the idea of using logical reasoning to support your transition. For me nothing about transition was based on feelings, it was always a logical conclusion. From what I heard it sounded like I should feel trans in some way, but no. In my experience gender doesn’t feel like anything. The hormones don’t feel like anything. I feel the same now as I always did. Dysphoria feels like depression in retrospect, but gender… no. Trust your logic, it is correct.

    Denial and doubt is normal. You’ve spent your entire life being mislead about something pretty fundimential to your identity. Its only natural to believe falsehoods that are repeated enough. It takes considerable effort and courage to get past the denial, but I guess that’s part of the trans experience.

    You got this girl!
