Is this whole "transgender" thing just some cringey mental bandwagon trend that we'll all look back on horrifingly someday? Maybe next year even?
Do I even have real problems? Is there a point in me transitioning?

One that dates back to antiquity? No such luck sweetheart. No one's you but you, so no one can really say whether your problems are "real" or not, but dysphoria is a real thing.
--And for the record, I do refer to him as gay. As I would myself, lesbian. Ahem..
It's just that the sheer lack of acknowledgement, and disconnection to their reality as a cis girl.
I know it may be painful to acknowledge. But if that's the case, at what point does it become a jaded hugbox?

I wish you were the end all and be all. My hopes are that it only gets better. (Considering recent media).
Unfortunately I question my authenticity at all corners and these interactions are like poison to me. Are they detractors, or eye opening harsh truths?
Does your male body disturb and offend you? Is the idea of aging as a male disturbing and frightening to you?
If so, you can transition and it's not a waste of time. People have been successfully transitioning for decades now.

if someone is trans their "reality" is never that of a cis anyone
