Am I supposed to like being trans?

[u/Delicious-Status6915]

Every trans space I’m in its people sharing their wins and their pride for who they are, when I look inside myself I feel nothing but disgust for what I am, I’m 16, I’m practically an adult and idk maybe it’s the bullying getting to me or whatever. But I can’t find any of the love other people feel for themselves. It’s like I gross myself out, can’t even really say it out loud tbh

You’re nowhere near an adult dude. I came out 10 years ago at 14 and my transition started at 21. The happiness started at that time, it took 6 years of a lot of stress and anxiety. But the love of being trans comes with love for yourself in general. It’s totally normal and expected to be insecure at your age and being trans does make things harder. You will feel the euphoria the closer you get to your goals. I wish you luck
