To clarify my original comment, I was just saying that taking things slow and experimenting is a good idea and that you aren't in any danger or acting impulsively.
As far as the "being influenced" thing goes, I didn't comment. I'm not sure what to make of that. Charitably, maybe your therapist doesn't want you to think that transition is "the fix" to an unrelated mental health issue that you may have. For instance, I have an anxiety disorder that is largely disconnected from my gender identity; however, I think about transition WAY more when I'm going through an episode of that because I instinctively have the feeling that I want to fix something in my life and feel better. Uncharitably, they think it's just a phase or something. But... You could demonstrate it's not over time. You just have to last more than 2 weeks, right?
also I really appreciate you pushing back if I'm being dramatic/silly
I don't think I want to push back or tell you you're being silly or dramatic. I think being with a therapist makes people feel incredibly vulnerable. I'm really thankful for mine. When I read about the things your therapist says, it really sets me off, so I think you're right to feel that way.
Mostly, though, I'm just confused and I hope I'm communicating clearly xD
What Minecraft server does your therapist play on? I wanna hop in with them.
I took this literally ^ now that I'm less tired, I'm guessing you don't mean you actually want to build a minecraft house together.
Anyway, honestly, the advice isn't bad.
I kinda read this as "your therapist isn't really wrong here" and pushing back on my complaints. I do feel really vulnerable, especially about this. I don't think I've ever felt more vulnerable, now that I think of it.
I have to be able to read clearly 😅 too much tired posting. Why do I get so emotional when I'm tired.
Sorry, I'm confused.
I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

Lmao, I was trying to riff on the site joke about hurting someone (in Minecraft)
