    But transition is hard, why can’t I just be done with it

    Unironicly tho.

    Are you making fun of other people who are like this or yourself? Because it kinda reads like you’re mocking people who struggle with it

      I was making fun of myself, and why I’m dragging my feet with a lot of gender/transition-related stuff - including but not limited to figuring out what I want my gender expression to actually be.

      The second bit was a reference to how my therapist has also pointed out that I have a tendency to romanticize my suffering and to prefer to be in shitty situations (depression, gender dysphoria, shitty relationships for example) instead of taking steps to actually feel better.

      I can see why someone might perceive it as making fun of people struggling. I really didn’t mean that. I often use self-deprecating humor to cope with the tension and discomfort I’m feeling within myself. I’ll edit my original post.
