I’m confused I guess
My wife came out to me as transgender recently, and I love and support her like nothing else, the only issue I am having is I think I might be trans. But it’s weird I live and support her but, I hate myself for it? I just need some guidance I have being called she/her and I just don’t know what to do or how to know who I am…

That sounds like a very difficult and potentially confusing experience. Would you say you are experiencing "internalized transphobia"?
Sometimes it can be easier to accept and support others than ourselves. Can you identify what makes you feel hate toward yourself and how it is different from the support you feel for your wife?
What would accepting yourself mean for you? For your wife?
Just some questions to consider.

EmotionsListener had some wise feedback and was spot on.
The only other thing that I would add would be that only you can decide which pronouns you are comfortable with, whichever those are then those are what you should go with. Sometimes the process can take longer than expected but in the end, the self-reflection and knowledge you will gain about yourself is worth it. Internalized transphobia is real and is a process in itself to work through. Never give up ✌️
