(Conversion therapy survivor anon) ALSO it's okay if you haven't been specifically targeted by anyone! My entry into getting support was participating in a research project that said that "self-directed" conversion practises would also be accepted! Even people who have experienced "classic" conversion practises like religious ones often do it in a self-directed way (e.g. privately praying to become straight) so a counsellor should be able to understand if you were doing a secular/feminist version of that!
It also helped me to look at real statistics about trans men. Like, go and look at the USTS or your country's surveys. Everything I've seen shows that we're worse off than cis women, so you don't need to treat cis women as epistemic authorities if they're saying things that contradict the actual data. Like, yeah, standpoint theory etc etc, but standpoint theory just means you might notice new things, it doesn't mean that the person gets a free pass for being straight up wrong.

Hey @ the trans man with Moral OCD who wishes you could be anything other than a trans man: I felt the same way, please please please look into resources for survivors of conversion therapy. They may not be familiar with the specifics of the community infighting but i promise your feelings match the broader pattern of conversion therapy and they can help you. I got to talk to a trans man counsellor and it was such a relief to hear him say that it was wrong for people to try and make me be ashamed of transitioning. Also if you haven't heard of her work, Ky Schevers is a nonbinary activist who was subjected to radfem conversion practises and she's written about her experiences with them, I found it really useful.
Thank you sending this in, anon!

why do you require trans men to claim theyre identical to cis men, in order to be seen as their genders?
why is cis masculinity the "legit" kind? why do you feel the need to say virulent things about trans men, only to hide behind "but i hate ALL men" when called out?
"dont worry abt my festering hate, i actually hate even more genders". ok awesome. you sound pleasant
