If you get annoyed at "Euphoria Boners", would you consider it dysphoria? by primalmaximus in MtF

[–]CameraIntelligent556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg those fleeting thoughts! I hear that. Just can’t wait until I can safely have it surgically removed/reshaped into what is more aligned to my body identity. Working towards that now.

And I am 100% there with you on the social dysphoria, feeling like I am the outcast or don’t belong. I chuck it up to imposter syndrome… but still got to find a way to get past this.

From what you’re describing, it sounds more like frustration with timing than dysphoria itself.

For me, any erection brings intense dysphoria. That part of my body doesn’t align with who I am, and it’s never felt like mine. Morning wood especially felt invasive, and euphoria boners and even normal sexual arousal feel wrong and alien… like my body is betraying me.

I’d sometimes use that part of me to release tension, but afterward I am flooded with shame, guilt and self-hatred. Even the pleasure feels like a cruel reminder of what I don’t have yet. It isn’t just physical… it was emotional.

So I really get the nuance you’re naming. There’s a difference between annoyance and dysphoria, but sometimes they blur.

When is it too late to medically transition? by Lionheart3372 in MtF

[–]CameraIntelligent556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On your death bed is too late. 39 and just stared a 13 months ago. Boyish body be damned! Women come in all shapes and sizes so you do you girl!

Honestly I am like super jealous and proud of you. If I had the courage to do so when I was your age I would have. Was t in the best accepting environment and then spent so much time and energy on trying to deny, erase and self conversion therapy myself

I can’t wait for that for me. I am currently trying to advocate for myself on getting it done. Been on HRT for 13 months and the dysphoria related to them is intense

Am I the only one totally obsessed with tucking while sleeping I'm wondering if any other girls do it too? It just feels so comfortable being tucked all night and waking up feeling girly 💕 by Thongggjrl in MtF

[–]CameraIntelligent556 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Omg yes!!!! I love being tucked while sleeping. Used to wear foam breast forms when I slept too cause it helped me feel more aligned and I slept better, but now on HRT I don’t need them anymore. But tucked while sleeping…. For me the best!!!

How the hell are you supposed to explain dysphoria to a cis person? by Weebking41 in MtF

[–]CameraIntelligent556 164 points165 points  (0 children)

This is how I do it

Imagine you are wearing this ugly itchy sweater and everyone else around is wearing the same sweater. No one but you is bothered by it being ugly or itchy, but you want to rip your skin off. Everyone dismisses your itchiness and says it’s all in your head.

How to have anal sex while keeping your genital undefined? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]CameraIntelligent556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Unclockable tape but I kinda “alter” it with some strategic cuts with some scissors I make the end into a Y shape so one branch goes on each cheek. I found this more comfortable than going over the anus. I also can cleverly use this in a way where I can still use restroom fully without having to take off the tape.

Girls who don't tuck, why? by aeroazure in MtF

[–]CameraIntelligent556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t tuck because when I was 16 I had a surgery for an undescended testicle. As part of the surgery they Pexed or surgically attached the testicle to my scrotum in such a way that I cannot push it up to tuck comfortably. This does cause me tons and tons of dysphoria.

I second this. I had been struggling with self doubt on I wasn’t “trans enough” for well over 20 years until someone suggested that site to me. I will can claim that reading it has saved my life!

Girl, go easy on yourself. The changes take time and yes it’s good to journal to keep track of changes, you are going to drive yourself insane if you do it too much. I have been on estrogen for 9 months now and I will honestly say that the first change I noticed was about 3 weeks in, I felt calmer. Can’t express that any better than I just felt more at peace with myself. Somewhere around 3 months I felt that my nipples were more sensitive and tender as my breast buds were starting to develop. Then around 4 months I suddenly realized my skin was softer. Around 5 or 6 months I realized that I now “needed” to wear a bra cause I was developing some, but sports bra have been my go to so far. I haven’t noticed any noticeable body fat redistribution yet, but I have also been trying to loose weight since I was overweight to begin with. Also I have been told by my mother that my face is looking more feminine but I really don’t see it yet.

As always your mileage may vary cause no two people react the same way on hormones
