Re: Sex and all the complications

I do have specific words, phrases I'm more comfortable with and I have a lot of them that I feel uncomfortable with.Should I name them here? Why would I make an list? I mean people that I do talk to about it I try to ask to use them when talking about me, but I don't talk to many people about it, mo...

Re: Sex and all the complications

Hey Amanda, It's hard because it mostly revolves around changed language. I can't stand to listen to actual/medical terms applied to me and to my body without getting heavily dysphoric. All comfortable conversations I've head, comments I read and stuff like that where the language was changed or imp...

Re: Sex and all the complications

It's fine, I expected as much from her. Yes I've been journaling almost every day but it didn't do anything at all. I'm still very dysphoric, and feel hopeless a lot, and have some breakdowns and panic attacks here and there. I did attend meetings for trans people for about 2-3 years that were organ...

Re: Sex and all the complications

My psychologist just told me that I have to ask transgender people for recommendations. She told me she has noone to reccomend to me, and that she'll make a post on therapist group ton ask about it, but that's all she said.

Re: Sex and all the complications

My psychologist actually responded a little bit after I posted, and she said she missed my text and will reply towards end of the week. I mean that would make sense if they couldn't help me anymore to recommend me to someone else, but it's just been abandoning me all together, saying that they are d...

Re: Sex and all the complications

I'm not sure if I would even trust them, if they wanted to offer me help, because of how they present themselves and how they post etc. Yeah it is very discouraging, and I don't really believe anyone is able or willing to help me at this point, guess I'm doomed like other specialists implied. I made...

Re: Sex and all the complications

i like to think that I'm pretty well in touch with myself. I do ask myself often, how I feel and think why is that and try to come up with even small things to fix the situation at least a little bit. Meditation isn't really my thing, and I thought couple of times about journaling, but I've never do...

Re: Sex and all the complications

The contact you've given me, I know that NGO and they say they only help women who are survivors of many types of abuse and violence. They also say that they work to reduce discrimination, yet they also say they only provide help for women victims. And that's also the issue, general awareness is tha...

Re: Sex and all the complications

No I haven't reached anyone who would be trained to help rape victims, cause I don't see how they would help me, and I'm also pretty sure that they wouldn't take it seriously as well, considering how they society functions and thinks, and especially in the country that I live in. I don't think it's ...

Re: Sex and all the complications

I can consider having limited sex and backing up front it when I feel I not in the best headspace at the time, but full on break from sex is rather unlikely. Yes I have been raped twice, but most of the people including professionals, family, most colleagues and others didn't care too much or make m...

I don't really have anything planned as far as changing anything in terms of "gender affirming", so I don't think what could change about that really...

Re: Sex and all the complications

i'm sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that Mo meant it that way. It's just more like how I feel about the situation. What do you mean by taking risks to see improvements? Also you said treatment and healing a couple of times, but I don't really know what you meant by that. What made me sound like ther...

Re: Sex and all the complications

So what you're saying is that I should actually stop having sex altogether for the rest of my life because of dysphoria, because it's not gonna change? At this point I'm getting confused, because you recommend me to take a break that is apparently indefinite, because i shouldn't have sex while being...

Re: Sex and all the complications

I have brainstormed a lot all of the possibilities, but I can't see anything else that would give me such feeling. I mean people have sex for multiple reason outside of sexual pleasure, so it must be pretty effective. I think we'll grow more distant, there will be some resentment and tensions about ...

Re: Sex and all the complications

Ok i'll take into consideration limiting sex or quitting it, but the problem is that if I avoid sex for longer period, or it doesn't happen it also makes me feel bad. Unattractive, like a freak, less worthy of attention etc. On top of that if I avoid the topic all together, I feel like nothing will ...

Re: Sex and all the complications

I'm already scared how much the healthcare that I can get could be worse than that, especially considering the country that I live in. I'm not sure to be honest. I guess it's more the first ("is that dysphoria closer to being reminded that your body isn't how you'd like it to be") than the...

Re: Sex and all the complications

Those two specialists are considered to be the best in Poland you can get. Yes i have thought about getting a different therapist and as I said earlier, I am kind of looking for one (as I am being made to), but I haven't heard of ones athat are respectful and could actually help me instead of hurtin...

Re: Sex and all the complications

Most of his role was, checking on my life (without much feedback), sending me to run tests on my body (blood, USG etc.), having me do the psychologist opinion, and all the stuff required here to change legally your gender marker, and after 3-4 years he put me on HRT, discussing with me multiple time...

Re: Initiation and contact in sex

I bet there are some folks who are trans and/or nonbinary who have been pregnant and had children and I'm sure you know some, but it's likely you're talking about AFAB people. I can't become pregnant, and not because of complicated feelings. I was asked by Sian what I'd miss because of not being cis...
