Feeling Like You're Trespassing or Faking It in Transition? Here's Why | Dr. Z
Dr. Z explains why you feel like you're trespassing or faking it during transition. This arises when presenting authentically or post-transition in gendered spaces. The comfort zone bullseye: center is ultimate comfort, next ring is getting comfortable, outer ring is where you want to go but haven't—severe discomfort zone. You spent decades in gender assigned at birth comfort zone. Now you're in completely different social terrain. Lack of adaptability creates trespassing feeling and imposter syndrome. Watch to find out why it's like starting a new job where you feel like trespassing until you adapt, and why this feeling is NOT an indication you're not transgender or made a mistake. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT DR.
