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.
