Im ftm and twice now my therapist has said she "forgets I was born female" or something and tells me she just views me as a man and at first I felt very complimented but now I feel like its weird, would u take it as a compliment? She said she also forgot that her patients who were intersex/mtf were trans Idk
let's get down to business and consume the onions
IDK OP I think cis people just say shit sometimes. They tend to convince themselves that trans people are just men in dresses/women with pronoun pins, even if they're woke they still just think "but it's ok for men to wear dresses" etc instead of actually rethinking their preconceptions. And then when they meet actual trans people they can't square what they convinced themselves to believe with what their eyes are telling them, so they tend to blurt out dumb shit.
>>45182405Dumbfuck autist, I'm gonna guess OP's therapist is trying to make her feel better by saying that she passes so well she forgets she's trans and does the same with all her trans patients. Alternatively just a clumsy way of being an ally, like "I don't see color" but with gender.
>>45182405did you even read the post or what
>>45182479I dont think so, I dont remember exactly what was said but she was telling me she told an mtf/intersex patient like that like some issue she was having couldve been her hormones but then she remembered they were trans so it was different ...>>45182405I agree ngl this makes a lot of sense i also do pass fr
>>45182511How does that even contradict what I said?
>>45182277If I were you, I'd take it as an insult bc if she really forgot then she wouldn't be bringing it up. You don't randomly tell a man that you think of him as a man unless you're lying to him or yourself
>>45183557Yeahhhh but it was like idk she made a comment about men or something and then said that after she said that like idk I cant remember the context word by word but it wasnt out of the blue
>>45183566Still means she's separating you from other men. If you're fine with that then fine, but most men would take that as an insult
