Work it out in therapy.
Hey! If you experience gender dysphoria I think it’s important that you try to see where that is coming from rather than ignoring or trying to suppress it, because trying to ignore it will probably only make you feel worse later on. If you realize it’s not dysphoria after all, then okay there was no harm in dealing with it. And if you realize that you are trans, then that’s better than trying to suppress it and feeling unhappy because that means you can do something about it. I strongly advise you to go on reddit and check out /r/asktransgender and /r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns (if you’re new to reddit, just google those names, those are two forums with very nice communities of transgender people and supportive people), there’s a lot of good information there and lots of nice people who would love to help you figure things out. You can ask them what they think of your situation! I’m not sure what you mean by not wanting to be a trans girl? Is it about not wanting to be trans (understandable, dysphoria and all that sucks), or is it about not wanting to be a girl? Regardless I think it’d be helpful for you to look around a bit on those forums on reddit and I really hope you figure things out soon so that you can do whatever you need to feel more comfortable and happy. You will be okay! I wish you all the best!
try not to kill yourself. i feel this pain even though i know what i am, a male.
I am trans too, and it isn’t the easiest thing to deal with. But if you get therapy from a professional therapist who understands trans issues, it will help. Burying your head in the sand and pretending that everything is fine won’t help. Good luck!
