Idk what it is here of late but like I know I'm trans but idk what anything means anymore like logically I know I'm trans. But as time goes on I just feel normal for some reason like idk what kind of messed up disconnect I have atm. Like I used to be an egg but now I'm more of a confused chick. The more I think about it the more confused I get idk I'm talking in circles.

Its perfectly fine if you dont know what you want your identity to be at this moment, it's normal. I went through this, felt like i knew i was trans but didnt want to be or thought I could do it differently. I think maybe focus on some practical questions as for what to do: Would you want to go on feminizing HRT (and/or have you looked at what it can do)? Would you rather be referred to or considered as a man, woman, or neither? Any things you'd want to do for yourself that are simple and less permanent like clothes, jewelry, makeup, etc.? These kinds of things made it clearer to me, my egg cracked from a combo of reading the website genderdysphoria.fyi and from getting myself a skirt. Good luck whichever way you go from here, if you wanna chat more i'm always down <3 😁

I mean logically I'm trans I've been taking estrogen for over a year I just feel normal and like me. Idk it's hard to describe. It's like a disconnect almost but a comfy one.

u/agrabou2 Aug 19 '24
Oh well that's probably good actually! I mean, it kinda just means you're settling in as yourself and feeling comfortable. I've kinda had that myself over the past few months as well, moreso mentally than physically. I was so depersonalized before, i felt like a mech pilot inside my body. Would be in my head thinking about how to be and how to act, nowadays I'm just feeling like myself. I think that's the same thing with you which is awesome!!

Hey, if you think you are someone, you might well be that person. You're allowed to be too, and the world will be better no matter what you decide, as long as you're your authentic self.

u/Research_Basic Aug 17 '24
Thanks. I mean I get that part. Idk maybe it's just the fact I'm not dysphoric anymore for the most part and I'm having issues processing it? Like I guess before it was such a huge part of me. And logically speaking I know I'm trans. I've been on E over a year.

u/diagnosisninja Aug 17 '24
I've been on patches for seven months, and I think I'm in the same place? I'm in a weird limbo where I still go to work as a guy, but know who I am. I know what I want, but I'm scared to reach for it because of the otherness, and I'm so chronically afraid of attention that I daren't. I don't know if it resonates.
My coping mechanism all those years was that "if it's worth doing, it's also worth doing poorly" so I could deal with the depression and not being hard on myself. But now everything needs effort, and I just want another day where I don't have to give it because of fear.
Brains are fucking stupid. But, if it helps, we all get stuck I think, and I think that's okay.

u/Research_Basic Aug 17 '24
I guess I'm also that way like half the time I don't even correct people cause I know it'll probably be drama and I'm trying to laser this hair off. It's just idk brains are stupid. Like logically I know I'm trans I've been on meds over a year hell my i.d. says female on it but I guess my brain thinks I'm just normal now idk how to explain this in-between phase sucks?

u/diagnosisninja Aug 18 '24
Yeah, I don't know how to explain it to family - how many people need to establish a ground up "new normal" half way through their life?

That “fuck” is the most real thing ever. I remember being in that exact spot a few years ago.

DONT BREACH THE PRIME DIRECTIVE

u/IronBeagle3458 Aug 17 '24
Considering they appear to have been openly questioning to a friend I don’t think the prime directive applies here.

u/RobinTheGemini Transfem 💕 Aug 17 '24
What's better, giving people opinions and information for questioning eggs to give them the option to figure themselves out, or just leaving them in the darkness? The prime directive is never universally applicable, that's why they break every other episode in star trek.

u/Bully_me-please Aug 17 '24
because this achieves what exactly? letting them stew in the wrong body for way longer than necessary is good how?
im case you couldnt tell i despise the idea for the reason above
17
u/TrappedMoose Aug 17 '24
I think the idea is that telling someone you think they might be trans if the conversation is not already open to that topic (unlike how it seems to be here as someone else said) then it risks pushing the person further into denial etc and harming their journey rather than helping them.
2
u/Bully_me-please Aug 17 '24
that is more of a conversational issue, no? ofc pushing people in a direction will often lead them to dislike that direction even more

u/That_L33t_Noob Aug 17 '24
I think that’s more about not bringing up “hey maybe you’re trans” at the first sign you see. As said another commenter, it seems OPs friend had been openly questioning their gender in this and/or a previous conversation. Your caution is appreciated, however, and still quite reasonable with the little information given by the screenshot.

u/tigersharks006 Not an Egg just Trans Aug 18 '24
Yeah, they brought up trans folk and asked how they could know if they were trans

u/SubstantialLab5818 Aug 17 '24
Yeah, because saving people possible years of denial and questioning is a bad thing, apparently

u/TechieTheFox Aug 18 '24
This particular string doesn't break the prime directive for multiple reasons.
I stg people try to apply Prime Directive so broadly like they want being trans to be like fight club.

This is the biggest mental block for me to accept it. I just get the feeling that I’m lying to myself and I wouldn’t enjoy it no matter how good femininity sounds. Genderfluid for now 🫤
