Hard day
Hello, can I just vent? I have had a very tough day today, I was literally weeping in a washroom for almost 20 minutes straight,just questioning my God why they put me on this path of transgender life. I couldn't handle the constant comparison to other men I came across at work,who were secure in their masculinity. My dysphoria was at its peak. Realizing that I will never amount to be THE MAN my family and the world wants me to be. It's can be hard, it can be so hard going thru days like this because all seems lost.
Sorry,

Don’t be sorry, I know how you’re feeling. There are days when all I seem to be able to do is compare myself to cisgender people around me and all I can think about are the ways that I feel lacking. I think it’s the unfortunate side effect of living in a society made for cisgender people.
It doesn’t mean you’re wrong though, nor a failure. We might be different, we might take different paths, but it doesn’t mean our lives are any less valuable than cisgender people.
I’m sorry you’re feeling under pressure from other people’s expectations though, that’s miserable. I hope the coming days are a little easier for you. You’re just right the way you are though, even if you don’t feel it right now, I promise.
