it's not "inherent" as in, if we lived in a just world then they wouldn't go hand in hand. but in this world they do, at least for the vast vast majority of trans folks. im pretty at peace about the physical effects of male puberty etc on me personally, but social aspects of the gendered upbringing have left me damaged. i think this is a very common experience. that's not even getting into the general prevalence of transphobia and how it impacts trans youth especially. social norms often cause trauma. repressing is traumatic. for many the act of transition is where the healing begins so you are kind of missing the forest for the trees a bit. the damage often comes before.
If we lived in a just world where I got on hrt at 11
I wish I could have been on HRT at 11 but honestly even just a world were people were chill about me being trans and told me I'm doing a great job more would be nice.
:cuddle:
genuinely the only way to avoid this trauma
re:
I'm not saying it can't traumatic, I'm saying that trauma isn't inherent to every trans person. In the same way that you're speaking from your experience, I'm saying that it wasn't for me and I also recognise that my experience isn't universal.If someone feels that their experience was traumatic, then of course it should be recognised that way.
i understand. i think i interpreted your comment as speaking more universally than you actually did, that's my bad. i suppose i still struggle to imagine someone with literally zero trauma related to it just given the gestures at everything. just not an experience i can put myself in the mind of at all.
