I’m FTM, but I’m wondering if I even gave girlhood/womanhood a real chance. I feel lonely and transitioning hasn’t helped as much as I hoped. Idk what to do

this is just my personal experience, so it might not apply to you, but i actually had very similar feelings when i transitioned. i thought bc i had never really liked ‘girly’ stuff and didn’t feel any connection to womanhood that meant i was a boy. but even after i changed my name/dressed masculine/used he/him, i didn’t feel any better. i realized that even if i didn’t have stereotypical feelings about womanhood/femininity, that didn’t make me any less of a woman. a lot of my grief was wrapped

Girlhood is hard to explain in general. It’s experiencing femininity in the purest form, realizing how to world views that feminity, and then choosing to value that part of yourself regardless because it brings you happiness. If you didn’t feel happiness, I understand why you would transition. It’s not about other people, it’s about you. Find your happiness!

in trying to find ways to avoid misogyny, and i thought the only way i could do that was by transitioning. obviously i was wrong lol but it did make me come to terms with the fact that womanhood is so much more than the stereotypes pushed on us. it sounds really stupid and obvious but viewing woman as individuals and not a monolith (and especially realizing women don’t have to be feminine to be woman) helped me find a lot of peace and happiness i had been missing before
