The Transgender Men's Guide to Life: Overcoming Doubt and Negative Thoughts to Begin Transitioning Towards Your True Gender

Have you always been told you're a woman, but you know inside that you're really a man?

Then "The Transgender Men's Guide to Life Series" is for you.

In "Overcoming Doubt and Negative Thoughts" we will discuss the thoughts, feelings, and doubts you may have in first approaching a medical and/or legal gender transition, and how to overcome “I Can’t Do It.” If you know transitioning—whether this means socially, medically, legally—is right for you, we want you to do it and reap the benefits of living authentically.

Easier said than done, though, right?

I know firsthand that as transgender people, we often inherit negative or limiting thoughts about who, how, when, and what are the “right” reasons and ways to transition. But I got past them, and you can too.

The Transgender Men’s Guide to Life series is advice written by trans men for trans men with a focus on positivity and resilience. There are already enough advice givers who tell trans folks to expect heartbreak and rejection—but we know from experience that for every setback there’s an equal and greater gain.
