Trauma after relationship with a gay transphobic ex partner


Recommended Posts

 I am looking for material or info about encounters with (narcissistic) men who are gay but transphobic. I really need to read up on such cases because I
 have encountered it, and the results of it was really extremely traumatic, as it prevented me from being who I am and it triggered a massive psychosis
 with hearing hallucinations(eerie sounds not voices). It was 7 years ago now... Ever since that, I have a lingering anxiety and constant fear. Not for him, he is gone,
 but certain sounds scare me and I have even gotten physical issues with one ear. As a comparsion, this trauma has felt vorse than even the pandemic!
 The person who did this to me is out of my life since several years now, but it has delayed my transition, I have wondered if the doctors would say
 I don't need any transsexual treatment. The fear been projected onto the medical care when I need it as much. I also fear the neighbours.
 I probably would feel much better if there are others with a similar experience, with having a relationship with a gay (and narcissistic) transphobics.
 that would help me because I feel kind of lonely in this.

@JMG that can be a stressful combination. All thru late HS/early college I was BF close with someone who slowly came out as "gay". Was "adopted" in the sense that I spent much time with his family (parents + 1 brother) as well but wouldn't call him "narcissistic", that came later in the girl I elected to marry.

 

        What he "triggered" in me we probably both struggle with to this day. Still unpracticed in the ways of wanting to be "his girl" we simply wound up sexually frustrating each other and eventually went our separate ways.

 

       At the time he was angry with me but we remained distant friends and the irony, to me, was his later confession of "how difficult the gay lifestyle can be" . . . something which I had always hoped, in vain, to change? 

 

Toxic people are never good why still so stressed over something you say is long over?

@KieraWhat I was through was really stressful. To the point of traumatic. This person was very manipulative, definitely a gay activist, but he had a thing for long hair, both on him and others. As I always feel better having long hair (A trans trait I did not know concuiously was a trans trait), we found each others on the net. But I found he was very easily annoyed and angry, that became a problem, I did not even know much about manipulative people  and ignored that fact. When I told him I was trans after I had realized that fact about myself he got very angry, that was then, all hell broke lose, even though pretty slowly. I remember how I dreamt WWIII broke out and he had moved to where I lived, but somehow I did not want him under those circumstances. I also know now that he really did not have any empathy at all, if I should get in huge trouble, he would not help, just get angry at me. In addition I tried to talk about female clothes on Facebook but was not sure how to put it among a place virtually the whole world population could read it. So I put it in a way they could read between the lines to find out what I wanted to talk about and dress in, but I got trolled! I tried to suppress my transsexual identity by all possible psychologic self manipulation because I was scared of his anger and I did not have the heart to be single out in the cold. I dared not even think of it and I invented and used metaphors even for myself because the topic got too "charged". Very much of the memories from back then are very vague.  I am not clear about those fearsome sounds  either, I do have weak memories of how I created them with "SynthEdit" which I had bought for other uses, and then blamed them on the environment. But the thing is, there is nothing in the environment that could sound like they did. It reminds of an electric toothbrush but very loud, but I have only ordinary brushes and I live alone. Perhaps it is a hair razor held closely to the ear? Because finally 2 years after this started, I got tired of him and his hair mania. I had suppressed my transsexuality so much that I could see myself completely as a man and I knew I resembled a "Commander Riker" from Star Trek. So I cut my hair and grew my beard to look like him, and my ex (Who actually did like Star Trek) was outrageous, I thought he could be angry as much as he wants, and this alter-ego became my super power. I felt completely secure as Riker and nothing could hurt me! I was happy and the sound imagination disappeared. My ex was not happy... I realized how shallow he was. But basically, that was what ended the "relationship" with him and that made me realizing what was wrong. All this has left me with some doubts about my transsexuality even though I am about to cure this issue finally. But reading about others with similar stories could give me support. It is pretty common that trans women think they are gay men until a certain point in their life. I have seen that on Youtube.

      The name "Mississippi" comes from the Anishinabe tribe of Native Americans; the word means "Father of Waters."

      frustration:  the frustration of creative instinct is a notorious evil of the machine age : the state or an instance of being frustrated. : a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs

      That's horrible that they are blaming you for her presumption. I hate to say it but maybe they are looking for reasons.

      I have no skin in the game here, apart from the signal that a re-elected Trump sends to likeminded politicians around the world, which would result in an indirect yet detrimental effect on many people here and elsewhere. So, hopefully what I write here can be used as a reference for how he, and American politics in general, is viewed from a country that is not directly involved.   It seems to me that politics is not taken seriously by enough people in America. Actually, specifically the USA (America can be anywhere from Prudhoe Bay to Panama to Patagonia). Electing a celebrity to high office just wouldn't happen here, let alone one who has overseen the bankruptcy of several of his business ventures and is embroiled in hush-money scandals. I remember during my teenage years when Reagen was elected; the main point of conjecture here was that he was just a B-grade actor. Equally laughable was Arnie as governor of California, although he turned out to be somewhat more socially progressive than most Republican politicians.    I simply cannot understand why the Dems cannot find a decent candidate. Biden has cognitive issues. Everyone expected Harris to step up by now, but no. Where's Jed Bartlet when you need him, lol! In my mind, if Martin Sheen threw his hat in the ring, he'd be elected in a heartbeat because many of you would actually believe that he was the real deal! Even though he's older than Biden!!!   Sorry if that sounds like I am trying to insult the intelligence of y'all. But y'all asked for it, by valuing celebrity over substance over the last five decades or so.    I have no doubt that Trump will win in November, even if he is in jail. His rusted-on supporters will just say, "Yep! That's our boy!!!"

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.
