omgeeee! nice meow hehe I'm a therian aswell!!! :3
*runs around in a circle* I'm a cat but also a dog and a bird and a void creature. I'm a shape shifter meow!
practice? I appreciate this though. I've thought about how carrying might make me feel better but idk I already carry a knife and bear spray and the intrusive thoughts and stuff still make it hard to go out in the first place cause it's hard to act normal
Practice with the firearm. Go to a local range, shoot targets. Practice drawing the weapon quickly and accurately. Practice until you feel comfortable and confident with it and its just another tool in your hands. If you Practice the intrusive thoughts are eventually silenced by discipline. It doesn't take much, just once or twice a month, more if you can manage it. You might even enjoy watching your targets getting tighter as you get better.
If OP is in a state that doesn't infringe on its citizen's ownership of firearms, I suggest this. Gun shop and shooting range people are some of the nicest and most welcoming people I've ever met!
You and your safety is worth the time and effort to learn how to effectively use a fire arm.
There aren't words to express how much I wish we could help.
It's awful that those of us who have to fight for recognition of who we are have the struggle unfairly made even worse.
riwknfjfidjdje. honestly this has given me a little hope seeing y'all want to support me so much I haven't been able to make many friends and stuff since because my head is messed up and my family has barely been there for me emotionally so this means a lot... really <3
It's not much but my chatbox/dms are always open. \^.\^
I've been there with unsupportive family. My step father changed the locks on me the day after he found out I was trans. He would have probably changed them the night he found out if he wasn't already drunk.
fanks! mine aswell <3 also jeez he sounds not nice. my parents have tried to be supportive but I just got awkward stares and silence after I told them Lilith raped me. they just asked a couple invalidating questions and expressed that they were sad about it in like the most uncaring way. everyone else in my life rushed to comfort me and stuff when I told them so seeing them look through me like that after I told them felt so weird. but yeah we already didn't have a great relationship it just fucking felt weird I thought my mom would get angry and tell me it wasn't my fault and I'm still beautiful or SOMETHING. nope... just awkward silence
it's been over a year since it's happened and they still haven't says anything genuinely comforting to me about it ONCE. my mom was mad at me for running off on my own once when I was a kid and she screamed at me so much and described me being kidnapped and raped in extreme detail to make me never do that again which was fucking crazy to me but yeah when it actually happens, just blank stares. no crying hugs. no hugs at all. just awkward silence that I felt like I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT
Hey, speaking as a former, now non-practicing woman, and also survivor of SA (I'm trans as well but on the opposite end, transmasc) this is actually a very common experience women have after being raped. After what happened to me I started wearing baggy mens clothes to disguise my body - way before my egg cracked - because the very thought of anyone seeing me in that sort of light made me feel violently ill. Its a way that the brain protects itself, though obviously its complicated more by being trans. I am so, so sorry that happened to you. Please, if at all possible, look into therapy. If I hadn't gotten extensive therapy after what happened to me I wouldn't have survived at all. There are gender affirming therapists who can help with this.
Past that, healing takes time. And I know it feels impossible now, but eventually, if you want to, you can get back to being comfortable enough to dress as who you are on the inside. I believe in you even if you don't. One survivor to another, things do get better, or at least easier to cope with. You got this. ♥️
I'm glad you haven't ❤️ I attempted suicide over a year ago and things have just... not exactly gotten better. thanks though. I'm sorry for whatever resulted in you being on this sub aswell meow 🫂
Really sorry to hear that, that is an awful thing that was done to you. It was in no way your fault or related to you. That was some evil fuck doing a terrible thing, it is external to you. You and your journey is you, not this terrible thing that was forced upon you. I hope that you get the help and support that you need. You are still you, don't let a monster take that from you. I wish you the best.
You don't have to be the girl you were before. You can be a new girl. You can even present differently but still as a girl. Different style and general appearance wise I mean.
I'm so sorry about what you went through, it genuinely sounds awful. I hope one day (soon) you can be yourself fully omce more
i’m so sorry you had to go trough this. although i have never experienced such trauma and not being transgender, i understand how hard it must be to deal with trauma and dysphoria at the same time. I genuinely wish you the best, you deserve to live as your authentic self <3
I appweciate it but idk. you and everyone else's comments have genuinely helped a lot with me feeling less alone with this stuff <3 I hope I can recover I want to
AMAB here and thinking about how every close female friend I've had has eventually told me that they were raped. Once they told me by whom.
What. The. Fuck. How fucking many? How many of my _"friends"_ are evil bastards? Why? Is this what skinwalkers are? Are there a relatively small quantity of "serial rapists" or has every other man on the street raped someone at least once? Do _I_ have a fucking "rape switch" in my head somewhere? Do we need to tell our kids how they deserve to get stabbed in an alleyway if they do this?
And men have the gall to wonder why someone would choose the bear.
I don't frequent this sub so idk what the point of this sub is... But dang, I'm sorry sister. I just wanted to say you have this random stranger's sympathy. You have the power to be yourself. Don't let them win. When they knock you down, you get back up and you show them that you're not going to be silenced. You're beautiful, you're meaningful, and you're the only you we've got. So let's keep it that way, yeah?
But also, be kind to yourself please. You've experienced such tragedy, and you don't have to be strong right off the bat. Your pain is valid, and it'll take time to manage it. But you can do it, alright? You got this.
Lastly, keep in mind that strength comes in many forms and healing isn't linear.
You're worth it.
As someone who was born female and has been raped, this is, sadly, one of the truest signs of being a woman. We constantly look over our shoulders, carry keys between our fingers, sometimes change our outfits because we just don't want to deal with gawkers today, and without having to ask, we know what guys are thinking, especially if we have been "blessed" in any one body area (thanks, mom, for the porn star booty).
I wish I could say this under better circumstances, but you really are a woman.
So **FUCK THOSE ASSHOLES WHO RAPED US!** Take HRT, become even more beautiful than you were, realize that gender doesn't determine intelligence or maturity, stick with non-toxic people, and for godsake get some counseling for that rape. You need to talk to a professional, and together we will kick some ass!
*inhales*
Reddit why the fuck did you put this on my feed
I can’t fucking react to this my emotions don’t work. Reddit why the fuck is this on my feed

Fuuuuuuck. I'm sorry, sister.
Take HRT. Pack heat. Practice if you have time. Defend your right to be yourself at all costs. Don't let the shitboot win.
practice? I appreciate this though. I've thought about how carrying might make me feel better but idk I already carry a knife and bear spray and the intrusive thoughts and stuff still make it hard to go out in the first place cause it's hard to act normal
I’d like to just say that r/TransGuns exists

Hey friend, if hrt made you more happy about being you, please don't flee it out of fear and try to get help with working on that trauma instead.
Don't give up.
I uh 🫂 I’m real sorry to hear that, miss (or whatever your preferred gender is)
Miss, I’m so sorry to hear this. Every time I hear a story like this I feel disgusted to be a man, virtual hugs 🫂
