I didn't say that, but ya you seem to have fallen for Republican propaganda.

No matter who Democrats pick they will always be painted as unlikeable, losers, and evil by Republicans. If you think picking a "likeable" candidate is the trick then you too have fallen for the endless Republican framing trap.

I remember discussing this in 1998ish and the concensus then was saying "twenty ___ " only.made sense statting in 2020. I actually started doing in the early 2010's.

I'm not sure this kind of mental masturbation is helpful. It's definitely not funny.

That's a fair take. After seeing everyone else advice I think I was projecting too much.

Well, I scheduled an appointment with a therapist. Said I wanted to talk about gender identity issues, amongst other things. The first time I've ever revealed myself IRL. It felt good, and was kind of exciting too.

Well, to me you are incredibly brave.

Thank you for telling me your situation. I don't know what's going to happen with my life but hearing from you and the others means a lot, and makes me feel less alone.

I watched it all and several of her other videos and ill be watching more. Thank you. Is the height and hair thing true? My body hair and balding are what trigger my dysphoria the most.

Is just "trying" HRT a thing? A doctor will just prescribe it estrogen and anti androgens?

That's basically what I'd be looking at. You are a very strong and brave woman.

Thank you so so much

My heart goes out to you internet stranger. If you're willing to share more, I'd love to hear how your life had changed for the better.

 

Long story short, I've known that I was trans long before I had even heard the word. There were signs as early as 4 years old and I knew by the time I was 8. I'm in my late 30's now and I had come to a kind of peace about not transitioning. It's something that I want but because of life, family, and a lot of fear I decided not to.

Recently a very close friend who I've know for decades came out to me as a trans woman.

I want to tell her about myself but I'm worried about planting seeds of doubt about her transition because I've known I was trans for so long and yet haven't started transitioning myself. I'm afraid that if I try and explain why that she might internalize my reasons. If that makes sense. I've never told anyone my truth and I'd so love to have someone to talk to about it. Especially since my friends transition is causing me to second guess myself.

I would appreciate some thoughts on whether I should tell my friend.
