How to deal with second hand dysphoria
Post Body

I’m a trans man who’s fortunate enough to be on hrt and have had top surgery and I pass more often than I don’t. I’ve found lately that I’m really uncomfortable around non passing trans people, especially trans men, and have come to know this feeling as second hand dysphoria. I’m ashamed to admit there’s also a sense of superiority that I tend to feel around them. I’m in a polyamorous relationship and I’m really bothered when my partner sleeps with non passing trans men. I don’t like feeling this way, and I know I need to fix this problem internally. I want to change the way I think and feel about other trans people regardless of where they are in their transition, whether or not they experience dysphoria, or if they elect to medically transition at all. Has anyone successfully overcome these feelings? Any advice on how to do this?
