It feels wrong calling myself a woman when my voice and body are the way they are, like, it feels like I don't deserve to call myself that when I haven't really done anything I know this is all just and I don't owe anyone anything to be able to call myself a woman, but it still crosses my mind frequently and it bothers me a lot. Hopefully I can get out of this living situation and get to a point to where I feel comfortable transitioning, but it's really looking like I'm going to be locked into this for another couple of years at least.I get you, the idea of asking for people to refer to me with a different name or pronouns while they still perceived me as male made/makes me uncomfortable.
The problem is a lot of people who knew you before are just going to perceive you that way no matter how much of a girl you look.
Can't wait to never see those people again.

Sounds like you know what's wrong and you're experiencing gender dysphoria. As for feeling "unworthy" to call yourself a woman - if you had a friend who came out as trans but she still had a manly figure and voice cause she only just cracked her egg, would you hesitate accepting her as a woman? If you wouldn't do that to a friend, don't do it to yourself. 💖spoiler
That's a good point, I just have a problem with being a little to harsh to myself sometimes.spoiler
That's okay, negative self talk and self love are pretty typical problems for a lot of trans women~Incredibly relatable, I hope you're able to do little stuff at least. Helps me. :meow-hug:

I think you just described the most textbook definition of gender dysphoria. So... While it may not fix the issue, at least know you're in good company ❤️I've recently realized the only time I doubt my transness is when I look in the mirror, so I had to change the way I look at it. Doing a lil voice training can go a long way too~
Hope you can turn it around

I like this site a lot, ya'll are awesome. Even though I mostly kind of lurk and do some here and there, I appreciate all the stuff people say on here (especially our trans mega, we love our trans mega ) and reassures me that I'm not in uncharted territory!
