Thank you for sharing this with us! You are amazingly brave and a hero to yourself! 🩷
It makes perfect sense to me, and I don't even think it's a trans specific phenomenon. Dreaming about becoming something that you otherwise know to be unachievable is normal for all humanity, if you ask me.
Now, to be trans specific: you are not at all alone in this. I've lost count of how many times I dreamt of being born a cis girl, with all that it entails. Sometimes, I don't want to wake up from those dreams, because I know what awaits when I go back to reality. I keep dreaming about being reborn into the prettiest girl in the world, wearing the princessiest dresses, free from the toxic masculinity that is violence, rudeness, loudness, whathaveyou (this is what I was subjected to, sorry for the generalization).
cw: gatekeeping cis women
Typically/ironically/whatever, cis women either become genuinely offended or act as such on the very rare occasions that I open up about my innermost dreams, saying, "you know nothing of our pain, the misogyny, the oppression, bla bla bla". Yes, I do. We do. We are not oblivious to what it means to be born with a vulva, raised as a girl, enduring living as a woman. I have dedicated a great deal of time and energy to studying the matter. Fuck you gatekeepers.
I don't know if I believe in anything after death. I don't dare to believe. What if I'm wrong. But I do hope. Hope is everything, sometimes.
Regardless of what you can or cannot achieve, you are valid. Always. You are pretty. Always. Hug yourself. Goodnight. 🩷🩵🤍
