Im not that worried about this that much. My other friends will accept it with ease. They will probably make a shit ton of jokes about it, but tbf I would do too. My family shouldn't be that hard too. The biggest problem I have will be getting the courage to implement who I Am into every day life and having to "out" myself to all those groups of people that I know, but dont know that good, that I would be able to talk about a lot of the intimate details. Its not that I will face backlash from those persons (at least not from those where I would actually mind having to cut them off), but me being to scared to actually change something.

Edit: there might be one or two friends who I may have to cut off, which would be kinda ass, but it wouldn't mean the end of the world to me.

Thanks, I hate it.

I would consider that the easy part. There are some other people to which coming out will be much harder.

Funny enough is, that I met him through Lemmy. We didnt live that far away and it was a quitefcool coincidence, that I happened to move around near him for university (its around a 20 Minute drive to him). But yeah, hes a very good friend.

As the title says, today I managed to call my friend and basically have my coming out. As expected he was basically like "nice. Got a new name or something I have to be careful about?" (I currently havent decided on anything yet) The talk felt good and it devinetively helped a little bit with the hate for myself and I no longer feel absolutely terrible all the time. I still feel kinda terrible due to the feeling of having a hole ripped in my chest, but it devinetively got better after that.

Thanks for the advice. I will devinetively look into it. I have absolutely her clue how and where I can find something like a gender affirming therapist, but shouldn't be to hard to find one. I will devinetively start writing a journal (won't do it on paper because theres a fair chance I will not be able to read it afterwards xD. My handwriting is terrible) since this devinetively sounds like a good idea to be able to remember myself why I am doing stuff and how terrible I currently feel. I already started reading the gender dysphoria bible even tho it doesn't really feel like gender dysphoria (if I understood what I've read so far right). I dont hate my current body. I just have this insane desire to be someone else. I know that being a woman is what I want, not because my current form is bad, but because even the thought of it fills me with joy. Currently it feels like someone ripped a giant fucking hole into my chest and nothing us able to fill it, except becoming what I dream of. It kinda feels like when youre really hungry, but its not in my stomach, but instead in my chest. Its absolutely horrible. Worst of all I currently dont really have the opportunity to tell a friend, because I know, that I really need this, because I dont really want to risk, that my family notices something. I'm devinetively not ready to talk to them about how I currently feel. If I'm lucky I might be able to do it on the weekend, since most of my family is gone or busy on the weekend. Will devinetively give an update if I can talk to a friend.

I might start reading some of the books you mentioned too. Someone else also recommended me whipping girl.

Edit regarding your edit: Luckyly I dont have a social bubble where I have to fear transphobes. There may be some in my hometown, but they will be quite easy to avoid, since I'm not there that often. In the city where I am usually (aka where my university is) I have absolutely no fear about transphobes. The majority of people there are super accepting and I know no others place where its that likely that someone you encounter is part of the LGBTQIA+ Group.

Damn, that sucks. I absolutely hate my current position and I devinetively want to end this as soon as possible. Theres no way I could withstand this for years without going literally insane.

[-] Someone@feddit.org 9 points 5 days ago

That's when I'm moving back into my place since then the new Semester at University starts.

[-] Someone@feddit.org 5 points 5 days ago

What do you want me to say, girl (guy?)?

Idont know (sounds weird when I really think about it). Do as you want.

But yeah, I know that its just 4 more weeks until it will eventually get better. The one upside of this is, that it gives me time to figure stuff out without having to focus on other things that much.

[-] Someone@feddit.org 7 points 5 days ago

I know that I have no choice and I kind of accepted it. Sadly this doesn't really help with me absolutely hating it. I know that it will go away, but for now it absolutely sucks.

[-] Someone@feddit.org 10 points 5 days ago

Getting fried all day is sadly not an option for me. Its quite counterproductive when you have to work all day, which includes quite a lot of stuff where I could hurt myself quite badly i f I dont watch out, and are not by yourself.

[-] Someone@feddit.org 20 points 5 days ago

There is absolutely ni way i could stand through the current situation for a decade. Not even a year. Currently every day feels like torture. Even the 4 weeks until I Am no longer at my parents home are horrible to just think about.

Thanks, I hate it. Couldn't the realisation have waited another 4 weeks? That would have been really nice.

[-] Someone@feddit.org 8 points 5 days ago

you may have to be prepared to cut people off who do not have your best interests at heart.

I know. Im hoping that I can reduce this to an absolute minimum. I already know 2 people I will probably have to cut off, because they have been transphobic for quite some time now. Good thing is, that I usually only game with them, so not that big of a deal and even before realising what I Am I mostly reduced contact, since its kinda weird when their first instinct, when seeing a good looking female character in a game, is talking about how badly the would fuck her.

[-] Someone@feddit.org 9 points 5 days ago

Heard that too, which was maybe a little bit a reason to why I wanted to try it (but primari;y it was because that would be the last time to try for about 2 months and my ass was impatient).

Throwaway Account, here we go. So i think the egg finally cracked enough for me to accept, that Im trans. The thought has crossed my mind quite regularly in the past few weeks. Everything started with when I took LSD about 5 weeks ago and I was able to catch a thought that crossed my mind regarding my appreciation for female clothing (skirts etc.). It was "Acts trans, looks trans[I bought myself a skirt a few days prior to this], probably is trans". My stupid ass of course was like "Nahhhh, I dont like such thoughts i may think about this once my brain isnt fried anymore" (guess what didnt happen). Since then there was this little nagging voice in my head always asking me "Are you sure you arent trans", but I always just kept it silent saying "I will figure it out with the time", without really thinking about if the voice maybe didnt have a point. I have been back at my parents house for about 4 weeks(since the semester is now over) now and in that time i catched myself think quite regularly how much I miss wearing my skirt and such stuff. Today the egg finally cracked. The voice that I may be trans has been getting extra loud the past few days, which led to me going on YouTube today searching for how/when people realised they are trans and watching some more videos of a mtf creator. This led to an unholy quest of doomscrolling r/egg_irl and @egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone and hating how much i could relate to a lot of this content. I could really feel how the barriers to acceptance fell while seeing this content. And now, im sitting here, writing this post and absolutely hating myself because I absolutely do not like this realisation and thinking about how this will change my life remembering a lot of stuff dating back years of my life and thinking to myself "You stupid idiot really thought these kind of thoughts were normal?". Additionally to the hate about why I cant just be normal like everyone else I now additionally have these very intense cravings to start transitioning. It makes life quite shit, knowing what you want, but currently nut being able to come anywhere close to it. Luckily Im currently in a position where i am quite sure, that when/if i finally come out i wont face that much (or probably little to zero) backlash over this. My family will probably not be super supportive (its not in their "nature"), but they will probably accept it. My close friend group wont have any problems at all and only roasting me with some phrases like "Remeber when I said you will turn into a femboy 2 years ago and you idiot denied that? Look what happened to you.". Only problem may be some of my friends from my hometown who are more conservative, but I guess/hope that they will be fine, since they arent really right or so, just uninformed about a lot of topics. My biggest fear would probably be my music orchestra, because there are quite a lot of older people and in my village about 50% voted for our "conservative" party (They are far right, especially in term of immigration, but dont have the balls to admit it), but to be fair a lot of these 50% are probably people who dont even know other parties exist, since theyve been voting for them the whole time. This would probably one of the hardest losses, if i had to cut ties with them, since i really like playing there and having to deal with a lot of people who dont accept me the way I am wouldnt be worth it.

Thanks for reading my vent, because I really had to get this off my chest, but currently dont have the balls to talk about this with a friend and I want to wait at least a few weeks before doing so to be sure.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the kind words. I devinetively needed this.
