We are not a crisis service
We can't guarantee an immediate response. This does not mean no one cares. If you need to talk to someone at once, you may want to take a look at this directory of Hotline Numbers.

I'm really frustrated by some of these girls in the group chat thing I'm in, I GET what they feel - I've been there I've felt it. I get feeling like being trans is the worst thing ever and you might never pass etc, but they're actively hostile to commiseration and empathy and attribute like my limited success to pure genetics - I don't do the advice thing cause that's usually counter productive but Ill share that, yeah, Im frustrated with my voice toobut its still better than before I started and I pass occasionally. I swear it's like they want to feel bad, oh theyve been training for 5 years and only pass a third of the time yadda yadda. I think being trans is the best thing that happened to me but they seem like they wanna wallow in it being a curse. All the things that suck about being trans are more about how society treats us and not being trans in itself - and there's still really wonderful things about it regardless.
I feel ya on that, i hate that kind of self defeating bs as well.
Ew yeah, being trans is a gift and I wouldn't trade it for anything else, despite the hardships
Totally agree. I get that being trans is hard, but I could never imagine myself being a cis person and I wouldn’t want to be one anyway. I wouldn’t trade my transness for anything
I slid out of the vast majority of trans(femme) spaces because they're full of this and it was doing psychic damage to me. Genetics...
I just couldn't stick it, I refuse to be actively negative about any of my idetities and actively try to root out internalised self hate, so always hearing what is basically trans doomerism? I got tiiiired.
