Psychiatrist Told Me I “Don’t Think Like A Man”

Vent

For context I’m trans man. But it has nothing to do with anything else. I’m just a normal man , that’s it. Don’t refer to me as a trans man ever. But the reason why I had to mention that unfortunately is because I told my psychiatrist I was ace, and not only did she ask me repeatedly if I had trauma that made me that way, she also adamantly claimed that it was not real and that I would “change my mind eventually.” She then said “you say you want to be a man” (referring to my transition) “but you don’t think like a man.”
What..? Are men nothing but lustful horn dogs to you? What are you getting at? Just because I don’t want sex I’m not enough of a man..?

As far as I know, there is no scientific evidence to back up asexuality. And that’s not me saying it’s not real I swear, cuz I’m literally asexual myself, but I wish there was more proof for us to show anybody who says that “ohhh you just haven’t found the right person!” “Ohhh it’s cuz of trauma!”😐
