I’m ftm but I keep misgendering myself in my head and my head keeps telling me that I’m a girl. This is really hard and confusing, does it make me any less trans and does anyone else relate to this?

no I def used to do this and still sometimes do. used to deadname myself a lot to. now I’m atp where I get shocked when someone deadnames me (pronouns a lil dif bc they/them, but with friends I get bewildered if someone refers to me by anything else).

it takes a long time to unlearn the identity you were given. it's very normal to misgender yourself/still respond to your deadname

Had this for a while, and I still have it 7 years out sometimes. It’s a fight of subconscious vs. conscious. Keep addressing yourself as a man consciously, and eventually the other guy will catch up

basically it just takes time, you want to be called that for a reason. just like how others ask for time to get used to calling you by new pronouns/names, you need that same time. give yourself the same grace you’d give to others.
