Ftm transitioning fears/doubts
Reposted, I've accepted the rules n conditions
TW for transphobia, transitioning
I'm a trans man, I was on the enby to trans man pipeline
I've grown up in a very transphobic environment and I don't have any queer friends. I had a bunch of queer friends when I was earlier in my transition but not anymore
My plan is to medically transition. I've been socially transitioning for years now
I'm scared of going further and regretting it all and losing everything
I've been trans for over a year now, nearly the entire time has been filled with doubts
I was never happy with myself as a woman, I don't feel comfortable being called a woman or being seen as a woman. I've been wearing some form of a binder almost everyday since late 2024/early 2025. I would heavily prefer to remove my breasts. I prefer using he/him pronouns, and I go by a different name than the one I was given at birth
If I medically transitioned, I would lose everything. I'd be disowned and lose my entire family and my shelter. But it means that I could potentially finally be happy with myself and my body
Maybe I was conditioned to think like this, to think being trans is not okay. Maybe I'm like this because of my past, because of my depression, my low self confidence and self esteem
I prefer the masculine side of things. I never thought femininity was for me. But, masculine women do exist. I've questioned if I was a tomboy, some nonbinary labels too
I want to be happy, and I want to be myself. I value being and becoming my true self
So I don't know where to go from here
I fear that T would make me more depressed and hate myself, but I want to cut my breasts off. First I hated them because they're small, lopsided and everyone else's was bigger and more developed. Now I want to cut them off so I could feel comfortable wearing tight shirts and being shirtless with no restrictions. I hated myself for a long time, I'm slowly working on it
I've been on antidepressants for a year now, I worry that T will make things much worse for me. I worry that I'll struggle even worse than before
