My best friend stopped talking to me. I no longer have a support system. I feel trapped in my own body because I'm transgender. I feel so lost. Most days I wake up and wonder who I even am.
I hate myself and even though I try so hard and I never let people down or get into conflict, I feel like everyone else hates me too.
I need help, but everything is crumbling around me and I can do nothing but watch. Help...

please help
i don't know what to do am I fighting for something that just wont happen? I met this incredibly girl that ive pretty much been nonstop talking to ever since we...
I'm not confused by my identity. I know exactly who I am. The problem is that I was born with female anatomy and a male brain (sex and gender are different!).
I tried to live for years as a female and it almost killed me. I am transgender and I proud of that. You don't know the struggles I've overcome and you don't know how much it hurts to be told that it would be easier to just "identify yourself as you were when you were born."
I tried that.
I would have died on that hill if I didn't give myself a chance to live as the gender I truly am.
It's not that easy, otherwise I would never ever have chosen this.
Please, do more research on this topic. It's scientifically supported that being trans is not a choice and not a phase. This is my struggle, but it's also my life. It will not help me to repress who I am when that would only hurt me.
I know it's probably no use arguing with you. You seem pretty set in your ways. But please, consider seeing this from my side. There's a really great documentary that I recommend watching. It's by National Geographic and is available on Disney+. It's called Gender Revolution. Don't come up to the topic with bias, and please try to understand.
At the end of the day, I'm going to continue living my life. I'm still in pain, but it's because of gender dysphoria (the feelings of discomfort and disconnect with my female body), friend issues, pressure to succeed, and depression. Not confusion about my gender. Okay?

ReplyThanks for explaining that. I don't know what its like from your position. And i couldn't capture a perception from a transgender. Thanks again. I am praying for you
