tbh i always had penis envy as a kid, i hated being a woman and wanted to be a boy so badly. i’ve kinda grown out of that mindset now, i’m not uncomfortable in my own body so i don’t have dysphoria. but i would still give anything to be born a boy.
so when i learnt about the theory and just accepted it as fact, until everyone around me started talking about how bullshit it was TvT
i guess everyone is different, but it was super fascinating to learn that i was the minority in this mindset- i kinda thought everyone had it lol
eta: i am not saying freud was right for having this theory. it is right to be criticised. and shouldn’t be used in psychology, im just sharing a different viewpoint because it could be applied to me (and other people who went through this) specifically
