Did you ever have that dream?

Trans@lemmy.blahaj.zoneEnglish · 4 days ago

Did you ever have that dream, where you are inexplicably the opposite sex, and you start a new life and everything’s great, and then you wake up to crushing disappointment and it feels like your life is empty?

And then you realize you’re trans, and everything makes sense.

And then you start to transition, and start a new life and everything’s great, and …

Oh god am I about to wake up as my AGAB again? This can’t be happening to me; I knew I’d never get to be happy …

Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’m not imagining it. It’s not just me that sometimes feels like this, right?

Out of order, I had that experience. Took me till this September to put it together, and I’m now 28. I thought it was just a kink, purely sexual. Nope.
