Wondering if You are Still Transgender After Collecting All the Information!
What happens when you've done years of work—maybe five, six, seven years or longer—reading, searching, understanding everything about transgender identity? You've visited different groups, websites, social media, watched YouTube videos, and maybe even dipped your toes into social transition elements. Perhaps you've even gone to a therapist. Yet after all these years of searching and trying to understand, you're still finding yourself not sure if you're transgender. You're still scratching your head.
Dr. Z discusses the phenomenon of getting stuck in perpetual cycles of collecting information—what she calls "mental masturbation." She explains why we chase concrete answers, how we become information hoarders searching for 100% certainty, and why valid sources get invalidated by invalid sources, spinning you back into not knowing. Dr. Z explains why "information is potential power"—not actual power—and when collecting becomes detrimental instead of helpful.
Watch to find out what to do when you've collected everything and still don't know who you are, Dr. Z's recommendation for reversing the question you're asking yourself, and why getting out of your head might be the key.
