I thought I had everything figured out, I realized I was trans, I had been trying out things like wearing different clothing and different pronouns, I tried out a new name with my closest friends, All of that's been great but really stressful and just triggering my anxiety, I don't really pass as feminine, my voice and just looking in a mirror gives me massive dysphoria, for a while I thought I was AroAce but I just feel lonely, My mom is trying her best when she tries to call me by my preferred pronouns, she is fully supportive and doesn't try to call me by masc pronouns but it still doesn't feel good, why is it that every time I think I figure this shit out I start questioning everything again? I'm tired of being a political weapon, I'm tired of everything, I just want to be happy for once, is that so much to ask for? I haven't gone through any of the transition steps like getting HRT as I'm not of age to get it or gotten diagnosed or officially changed my name, Its all stressing me out and I just want to cry. ;-; I don't want to be a burden or put my problems on anyone else, I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense or just rambles on.

have you considered the gender neutral pronouns for once?

I have, I thought I was Agender but I guess I kind of used that as a stepping stone

ok so what i would do seeing that ive looked into this stuff aswell when i was questioning if i was trans i would try to just use makeup maybe something that will push your chest together to make it look like just well yeh and idk how your hair and skin i right now but maybe with some long hair and good hair care and skin care and shaving and stuff you may be able to look even more feminine then you already do and might be able to appreciate how you look

Ive been growing my hair out and trying new clothes which reminds me I need to go shopping again, I want to be able to fully come
out to the rest of my family and change my name at work but Im always afraid of my coworkers hating me, I know a few of them do not support LGBTQ

#

its always my anxiety that gets me whenever I try to tell my family, I came out to my mom via email because I kept getting choked up whenever I tried

#

All the news and things like that just get to me, these people dont want womens rights like they claim they just want to make our lives harder

#

I feel like ive found my identity its just my sexuality that I cant figure out either

#

sorry im rambling

Ghost did help me find out i'm aroace (yippee) and it feels like i found a shard of my sense of self

#

so take your time trying to figure it out

#

i'm sure there'll be a sexuallity you resonate with

idk im starting to think gay, girls are just nice and maybe its because Ive spent too much time around high school boys I just dont like men that much, except for my friends, this isnt meant as an attack against men tho

i think your in the right place with yourself and youve figured yourself out you just need to get yourself to look more like it so that your dysphoria goes away

I think your right
