Congratulations! I’m just past a month, and I absolutely get it. It’s especially fun on those days when you’re feeling extra dysphoric 🥲
Something that’s helped me a lot was realizing that it’s just a really lazy coping/defense mechanism from the brain. Being trans is kind of (incredibly) scary, and so it’s just those echos of fear and doubt saying “Well, maybe if you just weren’t trans, things would be way easier!”. Then you can calmly tell that to shut the hell up, and continue living your best life :3

Thank you, I love collecting coping mechanisms.
For me the question: “Am i cis then?” really helps too, cause I can confidently deny that one haha
