#Feeling like I'm sinking

This is really stupid but there's this horrible sinking feeling in my heart when something as simple as being called masculine terms or pronouns happens to me.

It genuinely isn't anyone else's fault that I feel this way though. They don't know any better and that's absolutely fine. It's just that being born into a traditionally really anti-lgbtq society I feel like I'd get beat up and my parents (who are probably really transphobic) would disown me or something if I ever told anyone

I tried pushing away these feelings but they've been getting much worse as of late (on whats meant to be the jolliest time of the year too...) and I really don't know how I'd continue living onwards like this

hi! gender dysphoria is no joke. it can make you feel so terrible, and i'm really sorry you have to go through this. it's horrible to know that your community, even your parents who are supposed to love you unconditionally, wouldn't support the very person you are..
also, don't try to push away your feelings, in my experience, it only makes something like this worse. i know that in a situation where you aren't allowed to express yourself freely, not pushing away your feelings can be really difficult.
if you can, try to change the masculine terms that they use into feminine terms in your head. i know it doesn't help that much, but it might give you some comfort. i would also advise you to draw or write about something like this if you can, it can really help.
feel free to dm me if you need someone to talk to. i hope you know that i fully accept you, and so do so many people in the server. i hope you have a wonderful day/night! <3
