I learned from the best at being in denial! Still would prefer people being in denial like this and get the treatment they want even if they have to justify it in weird ways. Its easier to think something like “I want to switch hormones” than it is to answer abstract questions like “what is a gender and what is mine if I have one?”
Omg that’s a long time. Hope things are better foe u after coming out.
I was in denial for a few years as well. I identified myself more close to “crossdressor”, not trans woman. Talking to therapist regarding my gender helped a lot to crack an egg
Absolutely. Life got more complicated after I accepted my weird enby self, but it’s been good. Much less pressure to conform to ill-fitting stereotypes. =D
It’s real shocking how long some folks keep denying the possibility of being trans. I see that kind of posts all the time.
Similar post in terms of sexuality is “I found some man attractive”, “I just like the D, not man” but always puts “but I’m not gay” at the end.
Internalized phobia is real. SMH

You’re telling me, I figured myself out at age 11 and immediately went into denial for 25 years. XD
