What Minecraft server does your therapist play on? I wanna hop in with them.
Anyway, honestly, the advice isn't bad. Like Jennifer says, there's a lot you can do without jumping on to hormones immediately. It's okay to experiment and explore things without going all the way. Trans people throughout history didn't have access to hormones or surgery, so, like, you can really be trans without any permanent changes to your body.
ALSO, detransitioning is fine. I know someone irl who detransitioned, and I know people here who have. It's alright, too. It's not a big deal. None of these people regret transition in the first place. It just wasn't right for them anymore
They don't? Why did you think that? I was tired when I posted and I'm still tired now so that's not helping me.
I guess, I don't know. Maybe I'm just on edge. Maybe I'm not explaining well enough. The influence thing really rubbed me the wrong way. They talked about how one client was telling them about how with all the pride flags a kid could think they're gay. I don't know. That story in particular I know I'm telling badly. Maybe it is worth thinking about but it still felt a little icky, you know? Why do you think I'm being influenced to be trans? I can't imagine someone who is straight thinking they are gay because of gay people being out?
But yea I should. I don't really have hormones anyway.
I know that. Honestly this lasting two weeks would be fantastic. Transitioning looks so hard and damn I'm a sucker for taking the easy route >.<
Edit: also I really appreciate you pushing back if I'm being dramatic/silly
Sorry, I'm confused.
I'm not sure what you're referring to here.
To clarify my original comment, I was just saying that taking things slow and experimenting is a good idea and that you aren't in any danger or acting impulsively.
As far as the "being influenced" thing goes, I didn't comment. I'm not sure what to make of that. Charitably, maybe your therapist doesn't want you to think that transition is "the fix" to an unrelated mental health issue that you may have. For instance, I have an anxiety disorder that is largely disconnected from my gender identity; however, I think about transition WAY more when I'm going through an episode of that because I instinctively have the feeling that I want to fix something in my life and feel better. Uncharitably, they think it's just a phase or something. But... You could demonstrate it's not over time. You just have to last more than 2 weeks, right?
I don't think I want to push back or tell you you're being silly or dramatic. I think being with a therapist makes people feel incredibly vulnerable. I'm really thankful for mine. When I read about the things your therapist says, it really sets me off, so I think you're right to feel that way.
Mostly, though, I'm just confused and I hope I'm communicating clearly xD
I took this literally ^ now that I'm less tired, I'm guessing you don't mean you actually want to build a minecraft house together.
I kinda read this as "your therapist isn't really wrong here" and pushing back on my complaints. I do feel really vulnerable, especially about this. I don't think I've ever felt more vulnerable, now that I think of it.
I have to be able to read clearly π too much tired posting. Why do I get so emotional when I'm tired.
Lmao, I was trying to riff on the site joke about hurting someone (in Minecraft)
Assuming you are talking about the detrans people, why should they? When I decided to try out HRT (and still am) open to realizing its not really something I care enough about (granted, mostly because I consider myself NB... even if I stopped, it wouldn't mean I'm not trans). But I'm pretty confident there's no permanent effects in the shortish term that I'd have a problem with. I have a tendency to avoid making decisions, so I don't think I'd have started HRT if I were afraid of that.
Seems like your therapist is concern trolling. Who seriously would think they're trans in this social environment just because a few people try to oppose the allocisheteronomative society?
I was talking about my therapist playing on a minecraft server. Sorry, clearly should have quoted Thallo here. Now that I'm thinking about it maybe it was the like "I'd like to _____ in minecraft" meme?
Yea that might be a good way to describe it.
