I have been on the feminize - purge roller coaster most of my life. The purges have been much less often. I'd be happy to never have another one! I have been working with a therapy called Internal Family Systems. You work with the parts of you. Most people have a part called the inner critic. My inner critic can get triggered in many ways. Then it takes off chattering and making me feel like crap, in extreme cases causes me to purge.
I just want to say, that there is nothing wrong with any of our brains. This is a tough path to walk and there is no shortage of people who will gladly criticize and attack us. It is hard to get untriggered when that happens. We can even get triggered with society's beauty standards. Some days I feel like I will never pass so why bother anymore. Sound familiar? Often the real answer is to work on self love and self acceptance.
