people have been demonizing it for most of the AD years i think but it’s quite pleasant really. are there any proven negative effects?

    Mindfulness sounds like a lot of work when I’m already planning to get genital nullification surgery

    EDIT: Lemmy users love to downvote trans people’s lived experiences because they’re transphobic

      Yes, but I feel mindfulness can solve many problems. I’m not sure how many of your problems will be solved with surgery, but you might need to mix in a bit of mindfulness for good measure.

        I’m mindful about lots of things, but I’m not mindful about my genitals, because they give me dysphoria. I’ll be mindful about my lack of genitals when I don’t have genitals.

        You can’t mindfulness your way out of being trans. It doesn’t work, I tried.

          Very well. I know it’s not a fix for everything. I just found it helped me growing up and when I remember to be mindful as an adult. When I forget and get too caught up in my own head is when I need it the most.

          I wish you luck on your process and hope the best for you.

      Asks question about psychology and masturbation. Gets well thought out response with source material and excellent advice. Responds to said comment in a rude way.

      Lol. No. Your response was shitty and had nothing to do with the topic or the incredibly well thought out and empathetic response that you received. That’s why you’re being downvoted. Your gender does not give you permission to treat others poorly and you’re acting no better than actual transphobes.
