Stupid question... does this sound trans?

When trying to figure this out, forget about dressing, acting or looking like you are a woman, that's mainly a way for us to be seen as who we really are inside and feel at home in our bodies/ relieve dysphoria. There is nothing inherently wonderful about the clothes that women wear or the expectations put by society on us on what we should be wearing or how we should act.

What matters most is identity and what feels right to you. What makes you feel at peace with yourself, as a woman, do you feel comfortable, as if the world makes sense and as if you aee taking off a mask and just being yourself. Do you feel at home within the boundaries of what it means to be a woman? (*hug*)

 

I'll simplify it. You just... know.

 

Yes, that's exactly right. Acceptance does take time and doubts are normal at the start of the journey. its also important to understand that you are doing this for yourself and if things don't feel right to you, if you find yourself even more lost and confused, try to take a step back and focus on other areas of your life, you can always revisit the question at a later point in your life. Transitoning often takes a large amount of time, I started the process 3 years ago and everything was put on hold because of the response by my family and my decision to place my family's wellbeing before my own. While the world might not see me as who I am inside, I'm ok because ultimately, I know who I am and I know that others can't take away my inner sense of being and self.

Transitioning is about projecting to the world the image of who you already are inside. It isn't about adopting a new identity or changing your inner sense of self from male to female. It is about removing the chains and the mask that society has forced you to wear and feeling free to express to the world who you really are inside.
