baby trans syndrome

that awkward phase of a trans person's life (most commonly seen in the teenaged FTM community, usually before hormone therapy) where they think everything revolves around them and the fact that they are trans.

In this stage, they will usually complain far too much about their appearance, family and what the therapist told them to do to cope with their dysphoria.

They may also assume that every weird look they got, every time they get refused something and basically every single bad thing that happens is because they're trans. They generally underestimate how accepted they actually are in society and feel like they'll never be able to prove their gender.

They can be very draining for those around them, thanks to their negativity. They may also choose to invalidate their friends' care, simply to fit their view that the world is against them.

Usually people with baby trans syndrome grow out of it and flourish into any other self-assured trans person once they realise it's cringe to complain about every single person who misgenders them.

"Hey, my friend came out as trans a couple months ago and he keeps going on about how much he wants a dick so he can fuck me"
"Oh don't worry it's just the baby trans syndrome! Also um... what?"
