I dont know if I’m trans enough to be viewed as valid when I transition

[short schooner]

Idk if this makes sense, but I’ve had some gender dysphoria, and watched some YouTube videos about about trans people’s experiences (I relate to like 75% of them), but don’t know if I have the right personality/likings to be viewed as valid to some people when I transition.

I wont lie i feel like this a lot. Perhaps im not the best perso to help but ill leave a com here in case someone has help

YouTube video and other "test" is not the right way for get an idea of gender, did you try a psyco ? I know some psyco don't help that much but if you get luck you, he can really help you, so, did you try to get a psyco ?

No, I haven’t yet

You don’t have to be “valid” to transition. You transition when you are ready, and please don’t let anyone tell you when you are “trans enough”

Also I recommend a therapist or psychologist as well!

Um, ok I’ll start looking for one ig

Also how did you make your name in runes I’m curious

No lie, plenty of people will give you shit for not being "trans enough" or "femme"/"masc"/etc enough, no matter how far you go, how well you pass, etc.

What's important is knowing for yourself who you are, and being true to that. For some folks that may include staying in the closet due to the aforementioned people (which absolutely sucks and I hate this world/timeline for it), but always keep in mind that if your transition makes you feel better in any way, it is valid. People always talk about dysphoria, but forget about euphoria. If shifting even a little bit on the gender "spectrum" brings you joy—it's valid, go for it!

Oh that a very good question

I think a ask to the AI

My thoughts exactly

[lilac sinew]

Personalities and interests have nothing to do with gender. People would like to make you think that certain things are more "girly" or "boyish", but most of it is just what society built up, not actual fact. Gender norms and gender stereotypes and stuff like that is all just society-built, not what is genuine fact

I understand where you're coming from, though, genuinely. I used to have similar feelings, even though I was genuinely diagnosed with gender dysphoria, I still doubted. Trans doubt is normal, but it isn't the truth. It's all about how you feel, really

Facts. I'm a computer nerd who can change her truck's oil and likes TTRPGs. Still a woman. I sometimes get very assertive and opionionated (now they call it "aggressive" lol). Still a woman.
