No, I'm not nuts. My sister took to saying Séan rather than “when you were trans” because she felt Séan was a stranger and nothing like her sister. I say Séan rather than “when I was a trans man” because I've found it easier to talk about certain experiences by doing so.
So if I ever go on a drunken Twitter rant about some guy named Séan, don't worry, I'm just ranting about myself. It's surprisingly cathartic, actually. Even if it sounds fucking mental. You guys should try it sometime.
I’ve never had dysphoria but this makes perfect sense to me and I think it’s great you’ve found a way to more comfortably address that experience and time in your life.
I speak to my pre Christian self as if she were a completely separate person, and she was I am nothing like my pre Christian self, I think it might be a bit similar
It sounds completely sane!
doesn't sound mental at all. Séan was you, like a new personality. Somewhat like disassociative personality—you seperated yourself from who you are to cope with trauma, GD, etc. Séan is you and you are Séan. It is good to acknowledge that. Erasing him would be unfair to you.
Thank you. I think because he didn't let people walk all over him and he called out those who'd taken advantage of me in the past, I hold him very close to my heart. I don't feel the same resentment for him that my family do, even though transition was ultimately harmful to me.
you became Séan to get through difficult times and then found yourself again. you did that. on your own, whether others supported you or not. I think that is beautiful, to have the strength you have.
I can relate a bit. When I had depression in my late teens I seriously thought about changing my name by deed poll because I felt so unlike myself that my own name seemed like it belonged to a different person.
I'm still not at the point where I can really rant about my past self (not trans, other issue), even drunk. Btw, what's your drink of choice, if I may ask
