Ms. Rachel Andry (Isn't Real)traumatized trans girls are like "I'm going to start practicing self confidence!", say one nice thing about themselves, and immediately backtrack on it because it sounds arrogant to them
(it's me I'm traumatized trans girls)
Greyshley @YKantRachelRead the trick here is to accept that arrognce is good actually.
@dhfir whenever I think about that, my brain goes to: "no, actually, displaying any amount of arrogance would justify everything my abusers ever said about me being The Real Bad/Abusive/Shitty One in the relationship. it'd mean I was projecting my own shittiness on to them all along."
