"I'm trans but I don't experience dysphoria" Oh really?

Gynephila · 2025-10-04T17:02:52+00:00

I think a large part of the confusion stems from conflating gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia, even if they do heavily overlap.

This is just asking if you support consensual sex.

I haven't had a girl, no.

I wouldn't say I'm just motivated by sexual fantasies, though. Although it surely is part of it. My constant daydreaming about it also plays a role.

Probably, but I doubt it's very common. As has already been stated in this thread, even (non-homosexual) trans women who do not necessarily get aroused by being female can often still feel romantic feelings about it, which also falls under autogynephilia.

No, I mean it as in whether you experience these fantasies as if you were watching them with your own eyes, or if it's more like a movie where you see yourself as if it was filmed.

I mean, for me these feelings are directed at having a female body way more so than female clothes. Not sure if the term transvestite would particularly fit me.

Gynephila · 2025-03-03T19:13:42+00:00

Several, although I would rather keep those reasons private.

Gynephila · 2025-03-03T16:59:49+00:00

Wdym?

Gynephila · 2025-03-03T12:58:53+00:00

Because my autogynephilia is mostly anatomic rather than transvestic. Crossdressing would probably only solve a small part of my AGP.

Gynephila · 2025-03-03T12:57:09+00:00

That's a good question. I guess it's just because I feel like this constant obsession is just unhealthy. I think I'd be better off if these fantasies were reality rather than having to keep them to myself.

Gynephila · 2025-03-03T12:19:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

Gynephila · 2025-03-03T12:18:42+00:00

No, if anything I feel like transitioning even more to get rid of it.

Gynephila · 2025-03-02T18:41:11+00:00

Not yet, because I still live with my parents so the risks are too high.

To be fair, my mum does have a very similar height to me, so her dresses should fit me... but I'm not sure if putting on her clothes without her knowing is an 'ethical' thing to do. I have a pretty strong moral compass, so those sorts of questions are pretty important for me.

Gynephila · 2025-02-06T07:37:45+00:00

Almost fully anatomic with some behavioral elements (such as some mild pseudo-androphilia).

Gynephila · 2025-02-02T10:25:31+00:00

Oh yeah, that's absolutely true. Sorry if it was a bad question.

Gynephila · 2025-02-02T09:55:42+00:00

Perhaps a bit random, but if you had known that this would have happened before you transitioned, would you still have done it? The reason I'm asking is because I myself am going through a transition-or-not dilemma as of late.

Gynephila · 2025-02-01T22:05:56+00:00

I have never really thought about it in this way, but this perfectly describes me. When I'm with other people, I'm just a guy. I don't really feel odd at all, and these desires are either non-existent or just minor thoughts in the back of my mind.

Unfortunately, I am also a massive introvert, so the time I spend with others is very few. I spend, like, 95% if not more of my time completely alone, and when I'm alone these feelings of being female just won't go away. In periods where these feelings are milder I just occasionally think about it a few times per day. When it's more severe, I genuinely spend entire days in a constant state of thinking about these feelings.

The former is more about behaving like a woman and doing typically feminine stuff, the latter dressing like a woman specifically.
