    Right... So... When I look at my body I dont like it. I don't like the hair, I dont like the penis, I dont like the flat chest l etc. But when I refer to myself in 3rd person I use male pronouns. E.g. "He likes this". Is this normal for trans people? Am I just so used to male pronouns I usd them automatically?

    I still do it too, even in my head sometimes. I think it's the fact that I'm still in hiding in most areas of my life, so I have to refer to myself as male out loud to keep up appearances.

    I do the same thing. I think it's just because of how long I've used female pronouns.
