Early Access: Transmasc apologies for #malePrivilege: do we need them?
There are limited studies on how #transmasculine people experience the harms of #sexist and #patriarchal views, but speak to any transmasc person, and theyโll be able to tell you how common those harms are. Anxiety or trauma from these experiences may be why some transmascs believe they canโt transition without becoming an oppressor.

So I don't want to seem like I am just turning around and being with someone else, as if he wasn't good enough already. Plus, he is a real sweetie too, and we are still friends, so I don't want to ruin that. Might seem like a betrayal, you know? But, then again, maybe I am overthinking this, as always.
4/4

So, IDK what to do? I will always at least be her friend, but I don't want to throw away my shot, to see someone else get her first. Also, I would additionally feel bad about getting with someone else after I broke up with my boyfriend last year cuz I felt I couldn't handle a relationship at the time.

I want to ask her out or tell her she's oh so pretty and sweet, but with my current mental state + being somewhere on the aromantic spectrum, I don't know that I could do a relationship justice right now. And I also don't want to risk losing our still blossoming friendship for nothing.

And one more side note before I go to bed... I have a serious crush on a woman I know. Only problems are, she doesn't know I'm trans, and I don't know what her sexuality is. So... I don't know if I have a chance there, or if I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Side note, I just can't stand when people use feminine terms for me anymore. I don't like knowing they see me as a woman. It hurts. But why?? I guess I know why. I'm a trans dude of some sort. Or so I think. But the fact that I don't know for sure if I am trans, or, if so, what flavor of trans per say, leaves me so confused and hanging in the balance. I can't solve this.

And is my apathy/amotivation/what have you, due to my being closeted trans/in denial? Or maybe because of my meds? Idk. Just felt like I needed to vent. As usual, if anyone has any advice for me, I'd be happy to hear it, but whatever is cool.
12/12?

The more I wait on this, the more stuck I get. My life force, as in motivation and drive to do anything, to be inspired, to be productive, feels like it is sapping and ebbing away. My good feelings come back a bit from time to time, but it always gets weaker, and not as long or frequent as before. I can't move forward with my life until I know who I am, who I'm putting out there.

It's just weird. I feel like I am coming to a proverbial fork in the road here. Like, there is a reckoning with myself on the horizon. Something has to happen, has to change. Some sort of gender transition, be it social or medical or both, just looks better and better by the day. But I feel so much shame, guilt, and fear over it + like I am betraying people who know me a certain way.
