How Can You Know 100% You Are Transgender?
How can you 100% know for a fact you're transgender? The sense of knowing—the need to feel we really know something 100%—is especially strong when it comes to something as serious as gender transition. Dr. Z won't tell you how to achieve 100% certainty (and explains why), but she offers ways to look at the question that will help you start trusting your own inner knowing.
She addresses the uncomfortable reality that most transgender folks who started questioning or taking steps toward their authentic self did not 100% know they were transgender. Why? Because we live in a world that constantly tells you consciously and subconsciously that you don't exist, you don't belong, your identity isn't valid—this makes you distrust yourself and your own inner feelings.
Dr. Z explains why 100% certainty isn't realistic or even the point, and discusses what you should have instead before exploring. Watch to find out the two ways to move the needle closer to trusting yourself, why your history is data you cannot disregard, and what question you should be asking instead.
