Hello blog,
Been doing alot of hard thinking and self-evaluation as I am preparing to try ketamine treatments as I way to get out of the unmovable rut that I am in. It is hard for me to be honest and vulnerable IRL so I am using this platform once again to reveal parts of the hidden me.
Lately I have been returning to the trying to classify what I am and reviewing the thoughts, feelings and actions that I return to.
What I have come up with is that I am self-transphobic with gender identity issues (I don't like the term gender identity disorder).
I don't know if this classification exists in the world or I just made things up, but it does seem clear to me in my head.
I feel like I have the gender identity each day, each moment when I look at the image of me and spend so much time to have a different body, a different sex, a different gender that the one I am forced in.
And then when I think these things, I feel ashamed. I feel guilty. I feel so much self hate and anger at myself.
Admitting that I am transgender at any degree makes me so uncomfortable because I am transphobic. Not towards others as I am so happy for them (although I feel jealous at times), but towards myself as having these feelings. I doubt self-transphobia is a thing as one is probably transphobic or not, but I am giving myself permission to define it.
I am very skeptical that ketamine will be able to get me past my gender issues and/or being self-transphobic. I doubt that it will get me to be able to address these things in real life and make much of a difference going forward.
What I am hoping, is that it may give me a bit of space to be self compassionate and to be honest and vulnerable. I'm hoping that I can get past thinking or talking about these things without the mountain of shame and self-hatred that leads me to depression and suicidal thoughts. I'm hoping that it will not cause more negative feelings inside of me.
So there it is and I think I am just may be making shit up but maybe I am getting somewhere.
I don't have any clue what to do about being self-transphobic with gender identity issues which is so much more important to me that defining it.
Really I don't know much.
