More than likely, they will. The vast majority do. In most cases (not mine), it is inherent in ctb that loved ones will be hurt. It's the way of life. Pain is a part of life. We all experience pain when loved ones die naturally. It's really not any different. I'm sure you've gone through it with loved ones dying. It can hurt for a long time, but, eventually, the pain subsides and more normal living resumes. It can make it easier for the ones you care about if you leave a detailed explanation as to your reasons for needing to leave.
I have a note written out. I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I will CTB soon, and they won't be able to do anything about it.
I quit my hobbies cold turkey, My favorite genre of music makes me depressed, my triggers are everywhere (irl, TV, social media), I am unwilling to work or do anything with my life. It seems CTBing is the clear cut answer for me.
I know I can probably say nothing of value. I know it's selfish to have been sad at the thought of you being gone. I know the only answers given for such a situation are to either transition or figure out where your desires stem from and how you can make peace with your situation or figure out how to change your gender expression to something you like.
I hate the thought that there's no answer to it. I wish you'd find the answer. I'm sorry that I'm so useless.
I hope you find peace.
Transitioning doesnt work because I'm too poor to afford every necessary procedure to pass 100% of the time, and i find genital scarring to be extremely fucking gross. Then there's the issue that I wasn't born start to finish and brought up female, which is another big issue that transitioning cannot solve. The procedure also takes 5 years, which by the time that happens, I will be about 40, which is around the time I would have CTB'd anyways. Transitioning literally accomplishes nothing. I will just look in the mirror and see an AMAB staring back at me.
My desire to be female stems from a physical matter. I don't like the male body, or any aspect of being male period. I don't like cocks, nuts or facial hair. My issue is not my gender expression. My issue is my body and the fact that I have been male from the beginning. That is traumatizing to me.
