I am MtF and feel as if I do not deserve to be a woman due to me being conservative growing up and probably not being the best person. Does anyone else experience this?

so what I’m hearing is that you experienced growth? you’re always allowed to be a better person today than you were yesterday, you deserve some grace.

I’s recommend looking at if there are any YouTube videos about this? Maybe something to do with guilt, shame, or internalized transphobia?

I think a lot of it has to do with my OCD. My intrusive thoughts are more about not being “good enough” rather than like cleaning and such. I did grow up in a very conservative Christian community so I know I shouldn’t heavily blame myself as I’m healing but the guilt is definitely still there.

🫂 maybe therapy, if it’s an option?

I’m actually actively looking for a gender affirming counselor. I just was asking on here because I was curious of others experiences.

I can’t say I’ve had that experience with gender, but certainly with sexuality
