worth considering: 1) even if you are literally diagnosably psychotic, there are plenty of trans people Also living with psychosis-inducing mental illnesses who have pursued treatment, and doing so doesn’t alter their gender identity 2) even when transness has historically been psychiatrically pathologized via the lens of “transness = dysphoria = ‘gender identity disorder’”, studies consistently indicated that the most effective “treatment” for “dysphoric mental illness” was to transition

I’ve been dealing with same thing for past 7 years. Trying to figure out if I’m trans or not. You aren’t alone.

But a part of me also feels like if my biggest fear is that im lying to myself that this desire is still somewhat real. To deny myself the opportunity to explore and understand myself better would be worse. Even if im wrong then i learned a lot about myself and my self expression in the process

see like i pass as male or genderqueer depending on the crowd and it makes me happy; then, whenever i get she/her'd or girl'd by family or friends, it makes me extremely uncomfortable at best or feels genuinely painful at worst. rationally, i should be confident that im trans and that wont change, but im just so worried about it

Also, I am ok being called he/him by family even though I lean fem sometimes. I don’t have an anger for it. Or a sickness in my stomach.
