does social phobia go away in transsexual women?
I have a hard time being in public because of trust issues and society treats me I act like a rape victim. to be honest a few years ago when I was homeless due to my illnesses I was molested. so I do have some credit for the rape aspect. but I grew hating being transsexual and feared for my life I live in the a redneck southern state. when I shop I relly on my mom as the shopper I push the buggy around. does victim mentally go away in the worst cases and how do I get over this social phobia as a transsexual woman

The longer you live as the person you are meant to be the easier it should get. I mean I was abused by my step Dad as a child and he even attempted to kill me and I have a massive fear of men and between high school and February when I started hormones, the fact I didn't want to make new friends and come out all over again meant I locked myself away at home too scared to socialise with people. Since I started hormones in February my confidence began to rise with socialising and stuff but unfortunately I am still living in male gender role and when my breasts began to develop, again I went back to hiding but after having to go to work and stuff and the hot whether meaning I can't exactly layer up to hide my chest, I am getting more confident again and to be honest men aren't scaring me as much as they used too.
It gets easier, just takes time.
Does "transsexual woman" mean you really are a man? Or are you a woman just acting like a man? Either way social anxiety has nothing to do with your gender or gender identity issues.
A friend of mine had her operation 9 years ago.
She was very nervous and defensive for the 1st 2 or 3 years after her op. Often there was no need for her to be like this but she was just feeling so insecure and had very low self esteem.
We have supported, encouraged & advised her and she is much more relaxed and adjusted now.
