being transtypal is not to be confused with just being "insecure" or "disliking yourself". it could be characterised more as viscerally hating your own cognitive structure, which in turn influences behaviour personality interests coping mechanisms perception from others emotional reactions perception etc, because it is at odds with what you make part of your identity. transtypal people feel a sense of envy or inferiority towards those that embody traits associated with their typedentity more than they do, and feel distress if their typedentity becomes the norm meanwhile they are less of their typedentity in comparison.
think of cistypal to transtypal as a spectrum.
extreme cistypal is someone that has stable and healthy self-esteem and is perfectly okay with who they are in every possible way. an even more extreme version would be narcissism or inflated ego.
extreme transtypal is, on the other hand, someone that is extremely brain-dysphoric that they get triggered by everything, overanalyze every single interaction to make sure they are perceived as their typedentity, get upset if someone else resembles their typedentity more than they do themselves for any kind of reason, observe their own behaviour and feel hurt if it does not match their typedentity, and is significantly deficient in day-to-day functioning.and if extreme enough commits suicide.
somewhere in between would be low self-esteem, dissatisfaction with oneself, or relatively manageable gender dysphoria.
1. "extreme" is the tropes or traits your past self wanted to have but you later grew out of and cringed at. personal examples include schizophrenic, hikkikomori, academic, doomer, or hard drug addict.
2. "middle man" is somewhere in between. the ultimate ideal self is said to be in the very, very middle. the middle man is extremely vague and subject to change, and is believed to broaden with time. as the transtypal person ages, idolisation or mild envy of people with traits that differ from the sought-after typedentity grows - nonetheless what long-term gives the transtypal person personal feelings of brain euphoria (their typedentity basically) is relatively constant.
3. "shadow" is everything you do not want to be. behaving, or being perceived as having, any of these traits causes distress - distress thats positively correlated with the quality and/or quantity of these traits, especially if outweighing tier 1 and 2 characteristics.
typesititioning is defined as the process of purposefully altering one's behaviour and presentation to pass as their typedentity. distress occurs if someone else surpasses them, or if they are perceived as a poser or anything that opposes or contradicts their typedentity.
typenouns is how a transtypal person is perceived or identified. to get a person's typenouns correct is to sincerely perceive them in a way that is in sync with their typedentity, and to get a person's typenouns incorrect is to perceive them, or worse yet mock them, for embodying traits typical of the Shadow.
