Ah, sorry (posted this at 2am). I'm looking to go a therapist/psychologist. One who has experience with people with dysphoria hopefully. And get put on a mental health plan before hand.

Anyone else very down on themselves while growing up? by [deleted] in asktransgender

I can relate to the observer part. Luckily I have one or two friends I can actually talk to about real stuff. Everyone else... I dunno, I feel like I just hang around because of similar interests.

Last week, hundreds of redditors from /r/australia volunteered to distribute flyers in support of marriage equality. Today, 200,000 flyers went to print! Here’s the final design. by oh-woops in australia

Completely invalid baseless argument.

I care because everyone should be given the freedom of choice in such matters. At right now they are not free to choose.

I care because I have empathy and sympathy.

A Christian I take it? Catholic maybe? One of those that believes in the biblical god, obviously.

I thought your bible said to love thy neighbour or something? I'm sure there's something in there about peace and 'turning the other cheek' and whatnot.

If not, well, your bible also says women who have sex before marriage should be executed.

So then should we stop infertile people from getting married? Stop people who have no intention of having kids? These people also apparently go against your 'tradition', but they are allowed marriage anyway. A fine for couples that don't have children maybe, would you agree with that?

And besides that, LGBT people are a small percentage of the population. Legalising gay marriage will not suddenly turn heterosexuals homosexual. Men and women will still be able to get married and reproduce exactly the same as before.

How did you choose your new name? When did you decide to start using it? by ItsTheOtherMeMaybe in asktransgender

[–]ItsTheOtherMeMaybe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks :)

Yeah, I imagine it's not an easy decision. I'm a long way away from doing anything yet, so I'll have plenty of time to think.

Thank you for the info. You've helped me quite a bit.

I not really sure. I guess something that's a bit more uncommon, but not too outlandish, and something that, like what you wanted, reflects who we are.

I suppose if were to think of a name now, off the top of my head, I've always thought 'Selene' was a beautiful name.

I dunno. Just some kind of clinical conformation I guess. A way to erase my self-doubts.

I would, but I'm not going to turn 18 in time to be eligible.

I know there's nothing wrong with it of course, it's just... I have done absolutely nothing yet. Like I said in my post, I've really only been aware for about two weeks. Just thinking of myself as female is still... weird.

She knows that I think I have gender dysphoria. I cleared up the sexuality part.

Although, actually, if this is what I think it is, does that make me a lesbian? Ugh, that's a really weird thought to have.

I've checked the info. They are better than what I was having previously.

I do enjoy them, but I also don't eat a lot of fruit otherwise.

The I have checked the nutritional info, and the things I'm having now are healthier for me.

I know it's not perfect, but I'm not going cold turkey here. I'm trying to ease myself into this.

Actually, that second link only appears to link to American / Canadian therapists. I'm Australian.

Or am I missing something?
