With logic, to be frank. It's not possible to be confident and trans, imo... "transitioning" is a very bright indication of very low self-esteem. Being proud to be trans screams being ashamed to be "cis" i.e. your true form. Just my transphobic opinion.

That's a very interesting way of looking at these things. Do you think it's not possible to be trans and have self-love? Or do you think that transition itself is antithetical to self-love?

My only contention with this 'transphobic opinion' (that made me lol btw) is that I don't believe transition is necessarily a changing of a person for everyone, but rather maybe more akin to 'coming out' as gay, lesbian and bi people might. So, less of a change and more of a dropping a charade or no longer holding oneself back from being themselves. For me, I saw it as an act of self-love and self-kindness because I learned the hard way that I really wanted to live, which wasn't likely to go on much longer otherwise. And it was less of a change and more just letting me be myself, or at least that's how I see it.
