Okay, so I'm not asking for an actual therapy session here or anything.
It's just that I've after years of psychological treatment and analysis, I'm finally coming to this awareness that I apparently learned from a VERY young age (like 8-ish I guess) that a non-Chad male person wanting to have sex with or being sexually attracted to a non-trans female person is evil because...
Not necessarily relating to my particular issue, although it can, how does one unlearn beliefs like these using CBT or any other methods in a practical, socially appropriate way?
Like if I do a thought record of sorts whenever I get one of these ideas in my head in the moment sure I can tell myself 'till I'm blue in the face that not all non-Chad men are really like this, but is that really supposed to replace the true evidence my brain is presenting me that my core beliefs on this matter are valid? And if not, what is capable of shifting them?
I'm willing to put in the time and effort; I just don't know what to do.
Also does anyone else have any similar experiences? I always love to learn about other people and their battles with behavioral health. I wish you all the best!

- "A non-Chad man who is sexually attracted to a woman can't possibly satisfy her genuinely or in any other way (any other form or manifestation of love or lust)."
- "If I reciprocate sexual attraction with a non-Chad man (I'm a girl btw), then I am automatically being manipulated and am letting them get away with rape."
- "If he wants to have sex with me, then he can't possibly satisfy me in a genuine way, whether by love or lust."
- "If I reciprocate, then he's raping me."
