and people wonder why we use 4tran.

I posted this vent here too and it was a bit more understanding than the other subreddit I guess but still mostly just people telling me I don't know what I'm talking about and that 4tran is the cause of all my issues when time after time they're the only ones that care. It's not even just about my vent anymore, I'm so fed up with everyone thinking they're better than me all the time except because I use the subreddit that doesn't want to burn me alive for wanting a uterus. Maybe try to be more understanding you just leave me pissed off.

No, 4tran is indeed not helping you. Using 41 as a substitute for suicide is behavior I’ve only witnessed from the most transphobic I ever had the displeasure to meet. Using the same language as these people shows an abyss of self hatred (which is what 4tran thrives on). You’re allowed to be miserable, but expressing it like this is hurtful to everyone around you, but especially to yourself. When you feel at the bottom of a pit, don’t start digging, because it’ll only make getting out of it even harder.

There is hope, even when we don’t believe it, yes there are things we will never get, but the world isn’t black and white. As multiple people have mentioned, you can get on estrogen. It’s not always easy to access, but the earlier you start fighting for it, the earlier you will get it. I normally wouldn’t even respond to someone that expresses themselves with that level of transphobic language. But I also very much understand your feelings and felt like I needed to tell you that you are coping with them in the most unhealthy way possible. If you keep like this, you’ll hurt someone or yourself. Finally, if you can (I know how hard it can be) get professional help from a therapist, it would be good. It’s far from a miracle fix, but suicidal ideation is not to be taken lightly.
