I have a lot to say, but I will keep this brief.
I am a former transgender who is struggling. I don't want to be. I thought that phase was finally behind me. I decided this year that it is my moral obligation to someday become a family man, and to keep my children safe from the indoctrination that did this to me. But lately, I haven't been so well. Maybe it's reality setting in. The harm done to my body and mind are catching up, and I'm convinced I'll never have a normal life no matter how hard I try.
Another big challenge is that the world is full of people who wish to normalize mental illnesses like transgenderism, and they never respect my boundaries. They unapologetically remind me of the easy route. I blocked it out for a long time, but lately it has been nagging at me. I could selfishly go back on hormones, but I resist. This must be how former drug addicts feel when surrounded by users.
A healthy life is looking like a pipe dream. I'm the type to stop wanting something if I find it unrealistic. So I'm finding it a challenge to even want a healthy life anymore, let alone try for it.
I don't have a support network, and even if I did, I don't know what anyone could do to help. Praying hasn't helped. What should I be doing?
