Title: managing/ forgetting the trans beast
Post by: Kelly_1979 on May 18, 2015, 02:29:13 PM
Sometimes I catch myself thinking how great it could be just to forget about the whole trans thing and not have these feelings...just be content with the body I have. But after my "in stages" self-acceptance I just can't forget about it.

yes unfortunately. for once I had put a name to it, I fought myself tooth and nail, even in my sleep to forget. it worked for a little while than that beast awoke and I gave up because k couldn't win

On that note I was going to say something. It doesn't really matter, more of a philosophical question. How much do you people think growing up changes your personality and feelings concerning being transgender (especially concerning non binaries)

For example in a ideal society and parents etc blah blah blah.... I would do the things I liked to do without feeling "wrong" and maybe (I said theoretically) would have transitioned as a teen.

I mean how much all these years of doing certain things, learning behaviors etc affect us. I know that for some people it doesn't affect them at all but I would like opinions.

To take it further, if there was a near-magical (scientifically I mean...as in "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic") way to change sex to a perfect female (or male for ftm) when young...probably most of us would have taken the plunge (at least I would). Question: in this case, would we wonder if should have been the opposite sex (male for mtf)?
