I fought against those thoughts for many years to stay in the “safe” zone, and it ultimately almost killed me and led to deep depression. My fear of losing my wife was what ultimately held me back and even though I am a year into medical transition, I still struggle with losing her, but still hear the voices telling me that I have to keep pushing forward. I know deep down that I am transgender and won’t be able to successfully avoid living as a woman.

It is scary to realize you are trans when you have went through a whole life of marriage, career, and kids. When you look back at regression and depression for holding that part in, you want to disprove it. But when you understand it and embrace it, that fear turns into a love. For the first time in a very long time, I love myself.

@marti7343

I knew I was trans after cross dressing when I started to crave having a woman's body. Then the dysphoria started. Then I started to understand how much stronger my female identity is than my male identity. That was twenty-five years ago. For many reasons, I decided I could not transition then. One important one was I did not want to have to focus on my gender for the rest of my life. I was wrong. Now, nine months into HRT and laser hair removal my life is better than ever. I still have a lot to do and am not sure I will find the courage to do it. I know I am trans and have been from a very early age. Accepting that has changed my life for the better.

I heard egg cracking is a thing for older people. But what happens if your egg cracked when you’re a little kid but then you spend an entire life actively repressing your desire to be a woman? To a point where you are just numb (and distant) and can’t even identify as any gender in your head but people relate to you as a man. Does this have a category or a name?

@randirosehooper8315

Thank you Dr Z it is very helpful. I think my identity is waking up in a way and it's asking more from me.

@darrylclark1869

I have had these thoughts since I was a child. I have them when I'm asleep, when I'm awake, when I'm at work. I have them about 20 out of 24 hours a day and I don't know how to handle it. I have self administered years ago for a few months, and it felt great. I felt a calm feeling. I stopped because I started to develop 😢. I just can't get it out of my head. Very scared to death to do something about it. I'm still questioning if I am really trans or not.

@annasjamz5341

I used to think I was only a MTF crossdresser when I was a kid because I never felt the desire or need to have a medical transition. I've always felt that my gender has been female since the age of 4 years old. I'm 50 now and I've never been able to shake the need to be feminine full time. I feel like I can call myself nonbinary trans femme. Is my issue that I'm comfortable with my body but not my gender expression? Does this sound right? I've also had lifelong estrogen dominance. Maybe that has a lot to do with why I feel this way. I have softer features and boobs because my testicles produce more estrogen than testosterone. It's been so much fun to be me! (Sarcastically speaking). Thanks Dr Z! You're the best!!!

Dr you beautiful and gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This describes what I have gone through. My genderbending led me to thinking of being a woman and now my sense of being has become a woman a lot of the time. If I have dysphoria it doesn't bother me to the extent I can't live like this yet. Will dysphoria get worse for me?

@aaronroberts20

I wish I had someone like you in my life 10 years ago❤

@Journey-of-1000-Miles

Every experience I have ever had, has been filtered through the thought of, “how would this moment be different, if only i was born female?”

@maddiesaoirse

Started with cross dressing. Now? Well, currently waiting for confirmation of my name and gender change documents.

@robynrox

My short story is that there was something in the back of my mind for decades. I crossdressed but not to any great extent before starting my male-to-female transition, but I was obsessed with gender-bending to a great extent - seeing trans youtubers living normal lives was what pushed me further in the direction of experimenting, and obviously there was enough internal tension to cause me to transition. Nobody makes a decision to transition lightly, and after exploring my identity, I was so upset when I decided not to transition on a Friday that by Sunday, the path before me was clear.

Doctor Z,

I been questioning for years if I was a transgender person. Few times I told myself I am not transgender person because one reason or another, but mainly because, I was transphobic and did not want to loose my religious views. My gender expression and my desired gender role has always been masculine. I always fantasized about being a boy/men, but it has been my secret. Always play characters masculine leaning. Now I have deconstructed my religion and deconstructing my transphobia, but it still is scary thinking I am highly possibly am a transgender person. I am noticing all the times I did things to validate my masculinity and wished I was a boy/men. It’s so painful, because I feel like I can never truly be who I want and would never be accepted.

After I had my son, I became very obsessed with "fixing" my intimacy problems. But resolving my sex life in a conventional way was sickening to me. I had a hard time thinking of myself as a wife (I never did like thinking that way.) This, and body dysphoria postpartum is what made me know I am and have always been a transgender man. Once I leaned into my true self, I was able to finally reconnect with my husband as a gay man. We are both happier and closer, and I am well on my way with HRT which has made me a better parent and more present, warm, happy person in my family life. A lifetime of rage and anxiety is gone. Also my chronic pain has vanished.

@DreamerInDisguise

Thank you so much for this Dr Z!!

@sniffableandirresistble

I'm so trans that I refuse to transition because the truth is I was only pretending to be male all along, not only so I might not suffer the "slings and arrows of outrageous" ignorance and constant relagation propelled upon such openly declared individuals but because what if I'm wrong as I often are in life. Remember you can be 100% certain and still be wrong ❤
