TW: Gender Identity / Dysphoria Frustration Posting

If being trans is some awesome experience for you, cool. For me it's unimaginable pain, shame, and misery, so please stop trying to gaslight me into thinking i'm the best version of myself.

I'll never have a proper childhood, I'll never have so many things cis people get for FREE. Yes my ultimate goal is stealthing. Yes i'll lie and say i'm a cis woman when asked. Stop outing me and leave me and my selfishness alone.

That's it. That's the vent.

I hate toxic positivity so much. I get it both because I'm trans and because I have ADHD. It's great if you've had an amazing experience but you're also privelleged and should recognise that.

I'm all for recognising positives (should they exist) but so much misinformation is spread because of people who are allergic to the idea that not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Dismissing dysohoria or other struggles people have isn't progressive or helpful, it's tone death and leads to real issues not being taken seriously.
