Why You Can't Figure Out If You're Trans On Your Own (Stop This Pattern).

Constantly questioning "am I trans or not?" without clarity? Clinical psychologist Dr. Z explains why trying to figure this out alone doesn't work: When severe dysphoria is absent, you're likely not fully in touch with your feelings. Fear of consequences (losing people, being othered) makes your ego put up defensive walls. You think you're exploring but you're actually justifying/rationalizing to maintain status quo. Years get wasted. Even non-specialist therapists help because talking out loud is different from thinking—you hear yourself, things clarify. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT DR.
