Is there any legitimacy to people repressing their trans feelings

>>6913965
historically that's what the vast majority of trannies do, and once the snake that is the community right now eats its own tail that's what they'll start doing again
/lgbt/ has a far earlier definition of early and late transition than everyone else in the entire world
t. transitioned in adolescence

>>6913965
I don't see how they could not have a feeling that things were wrong at an early age. Being closeted and not wanting to transition are possible. But, not having any clue whatsoever that you want to be the opposite sex? Bullshit.

>>6914224
>What is repression

>>6914224
it's not that they didn't know things were wrong, it's that they didn't know it was specifically their gender that was causing the problems though. i haven't met anyone who was a completely happy-go-lucky, normal gender-conforming person until they went to college and something snapped. it's more like their dysphoria was so tangled up in trauma/insecurity/mental illness/sexual confusion/depression/etc, that the thought "oh, the thing wrong with me is that i want to be a boy/girl" never occurs to them until later. and usually it's kind of obvious in hindsight.

who cares

>>6913965
I don't see what you mean. I don't trans because no money.

You do realize that a 30ish year old person has a vastly different experience of the internet than you young pups. Information was not as easy to come by. That might be hard to understand for you entitled brats, but I didnt even hear the word transgender until I was at least 19 or older. (Cont.)

(Cont.) it may sound crazy but how does one self-diagnose when they dont even have the language, much less an understanding of trans issues or transitioning. Where I grew up it just wasnt a thing yet. Stop taking shit for granted you entitled fucks.

everyone who didn't transition before puberty is not trans. there are so many options for you. you should have been searching "i'm a girl but people say i'm a boy" on your ipad since you were 4 and if you had restrictive parents you should have just gone on 4chan and learned about self medding and just bought hormones online. there are literally no excuses for anyone ever to transition late unless there a disgusting agp fetishist and not trans

>>6914312
I grew up in the middle of nowhere without cable or internet. I still knew I wanted to be a girl when I was little.

I came out to the first girl I slept with at 19 because that was the first time I knew what was really wrong because I wanted to be like her so badly. I've always been trans though it just manifested as trauma, pain and failed relationships before I knew the problem.

>>6914328
Ugh, you're not good at it

I transitioned at 30. And I'm nonop. I dont see how that does anything but make you look like a really mean person for suggesting I'm AGP. I get that you can be as cruel as you like with impunity from anonymity, but do ypu really WANT to have the karma of a sociopath?

>>6914347
if only i got laid earlier maybe i would have realized earlier too....

you're only partially correct in that you're only trans if you recognize your trans feelings at around four, or right around the time you enter kindergarten. Of course not everyone is able to actually transition by then, and if you don't, you have an obligation to never transition as not to act as a living form of gatekeeping as you'll most likely deter others from attempting to transition due to the fact that you don't pass.

>>6914367
I mean ya, but I have never been able to behave masculinely enough to appeal to straight women, the one girl I slept with started talking to me because I was crying.

>>6914377
x_x i had some opportunities around that age but i just panicked when it was about to happen

I performed the gender role I was assigned at birth until I was 19 then made a spiritual excuse that I knew I was a woman inside, but in my hindu belief of reincarnation I thought that I incarnated as a male for a reason and would do my best to discover that reason. 12 trips to the psych ward later I started transitioning.

friendly reminder AGP isn't an insult! good day!

i don't know why you couldn't have fit both of these in one post

>>6914427
No maybe not, but it is being used here to call people fake trans "fetishists" which is a bit insulting

>>6914430
estrogen addles the brains of fake trans people
it's a tragedy really

Actually I'm on my phone and didnt feel like losing everything I typed if my post didnt go through for w/e reason.

>>6914374
When I was 4 I thought "there must be no differences inside between boys or girls because if there was i would be the opposite sex". Trutrans or no?

>>6914604
no
if you were trutrans you would know you already were "the opposite sex," you were just given the wrong body

Apg isn't real. Stop reinforcing this pseudo science. And yea people have different life experiences growing up and there was ver little exposure or access to knowledge that you could even change your gender. So of course some people repressed. Or they knew and never told anyone because its fucking treated like shit by most people.

>>6914336

Knowing how you feel, and knowing what it means/that there are steps you can take are two (...three?) very different things.

Select all and copy it

OP wasn't talking about people who knew something was up but didn't think it was possible to do anything. They are talking about the people who literally, suddenly flip and decide they're transgender out of nowhere.

But that's not what the anon that anon was responding to was saying.

I am the anon >>6914336 who anon responded to.

>>6915134

I'm talking about the anon YOU responded to, anon.
>Greetings, Marklar, welcome to Marklar, I am Marklar

>>6915177
Ugh. My point was that that anon knew they wanted to be a girl, just not that it was possible. That imo is legit. What's not legit is just magically saying one day, oh yes I'm a girl, without any previous thoughts or feelings of wanting to be a girl. It's a common story on reddit.

I misinterpruted the feelings of disphoria for being gay until I was like 15 or 16. Thats when people started mistaking me for being a girl and it boosted my self esteem like crazy. I super repressed my dysphoria though because I was super aware it wasn't normal.
I also started late though because of my crippling phobia of needles.

And yeah, same page.

my first experience with it was when i was 11. science teacher brought up drag queens and i began searching the internet. found shemale porn. realized it was a possibility, but still couldnt fit the pieces together. came out as gay that same year. sought help at 15. went to therapy. parents didnt support it. didnt kick me out but treated it the same as tattoos or piercings, not allowed until 18. so i waited. i grew my hair out. it was cool for guys at school to wear girl jeans for some reason (?) so i wore them with flip flops and tshirts. remained in therapy. bounced a bit to find one that had a clue of what to do with me, was a sex therapist that got it together for me. she was used to dealing with sex as in the act not gender. she did work for me. made calls. there was a board i had to see, three mental health evals, and having to present my case before them.

this was a decade ago. been on hormone replacement therapy a decade now. ya the internet was still relatively young, but it wasnt impossible if you actively digged. you just needed some experience or encounter to set off the lightbulb to be like oh that's wassup. it depended on where you lived and who you interacted with for that first experience. that's it. looking back a lot of the things i did as a kid made sense based on how i turned out. didnt make friends well. wasnt allowed to play with girls and guys were assholes. usually only ever had one guy friend at a time... but it was always like a boyfriend type thing. as for clothes and toys i didnt have a choice. my mom picked my clothes for me for a very long time. it wasnt until i got a job that i was allowed to choose. until then it was hand-me-downs or bargain bins. there's very few pictures of me overall in my family, but of those i have, i was generally displaying rather femininely. my parents knew even when they denied me in early adolescence. they were just scared for me.

>>6915312
you were 11 or 18 a decade ago?
and yeah, it might not have been impossible, but it still was waaaay different and would have required a lot of things all to go right

>>6915343
18 a decade ago. i'm 28 now.

>>6913965
Bruh have you even considered that when they "discover" them that they have already been quite aware of some feelings and simply aren't wanting to give full disclosure about their history of grappling with this aspect of their identity
