i used to think i was trans bc guys kept on saying i looked like a guy
okay idk if the title comes off as weird but lemme explain, in middle school some guys used to say i dont look like a girl and i think i started to force myself to believe i enjoyed being called a male to cope with the bullying, i hate that my old bullies will never know how bad it was that i gaslight myself into thinking i was smtg i wasnt, i developped gender dysphoria and i started harming myself bc of some stupid guys, i feel like i wasted my teen years by coping this way, i wish i was actually trans so that those feelings wouldnt have been “ pointless ” yk
