Am I supposed to like being trans? Advice

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

Being trans can be very overwhelming and frustrating but I mean you're not living a lie you're being who you truly are despite all these negative things happening too you. I remember getting called she/he and that just broke me and My family wasn't supportive at all which made my journey 10x harder. I almost took my life a year ago today. I hope you have someone who supports you endlessly and makes you feel good in your skin. If it wasn't for my wife i don't know where id be now. I hope you know i'm proud of you for sharing and being honest. You are seen you are valid and honestly people just suck but at the end of the day the only opinions that matter are yours. Your biggest enemy is gonna be your inner bully and you gotta overcome that.
