>Think about how I want to be a woman and should probably transition
>Immediately get bombarded by thoughts about how great it is to be a man, and how I'll miss out on being a handsome and suave chad. Also think about how horrible I'd be at being a woman, and how it's not worth losing the utilitarian benefits of T like strength and higher base metabolic rate.
>Become convinced that I love being a man, and I'm determined in living my best life as a man
>Slow buildup of obsessive trans thoughts about how I'm actively losing any androgyny because of testosterone and that I will greatly regret it later on if I don't act asap. Seeing women my age makes me want to flay myself and can't stop focusing on how I'll never remotely resemble a woman
It genuinely feels like I'm gaslighting myself both ways, and I can't tell which thoughts and feelings are trustworthy. Doesn't help that I never had any tranny thoughts or anything resembling dysphoria before my 20s, and that looking at my male body also doesn't make me dysphoric at all.
