I’ve been there. It gets better. The important part is not to beat yourself up. Some days I still feel like a failure and an imposter. I think it comes from the pressure of the job and the unrealistic goal that perfection is attainable

Same here. Just left an apartment that I grew so much in terms of my gender transition. It almost seemed like a sacred space to me and I cried when I left because it meant so much to me to have that space.

Dresses are so fun. The tiered dresses don’t work well for my current body shape. I like the A-line and swing dresses a lot. Pockets are always a plus!

I try to widen my tolerance for uncomfortable feelings. It’s not the feeling that’s the problem ken. It’s the inability to tolerate the feeling and use something to make the feeling go away Yes I have been in therapy for a long time!

And these expectations contribute to feelings of imposter syndrome in the medical field , because you feel like you’re never good enough.

🤯 I can’t believe the arrogance. I guess that’s where the term “ugly American” comes from. I witnessed similar behavior from Americans in France and I apologized for their behavior and said most of us are not like that.

Changing to women’s deodorant and shaving my armpits was one of the first steps I made when transitioning. I can’t stand the smell of men’s deodorant or men’s cologne.
@coffeeteanxiety
I completely agree. Many people from the US have never travelled outside the US and have not experienced other cultures or perspectives. Many people also don’t associate with recent immigrants to the US. Traveling & learning about other cultures adds richness to life.
