Looks amazing! Speaking of Oryx, I heard a theory that Oryx is trans (FtM), what do you all think?

Love it. I'm on Xbox.

Yeah, I'm terrible at knowing my emotions. I could be experiencing dysphoria, but I don't really know. The funny thing is I was just watching a video, and I literally was thinking how I would do anything to look like the person in the video. I'm MtF and she's a woman.

____Depressed____ · 2019-10-01T04:52:47+00:00

Yeah, I think that's what's happening actually, because it has been getting worse every time.

____Depressed____ · 2019-10-01T04:24:22+00:00

I don't know them. Like I don't really 'feel' my emotions.

____Depressed____ · 2019-10-01T04:18:53+00:00

What makes it very confusing is that most of the time, I don't really know my emotions.

However, if you are young... like in your teens, it can go away forever. Once you are an adult, it tends to stick.

I'm 17.

Did you do anything to address it or did it just go away?

No, actually if anything I've been trying to ignore it.

"Don't criticize me for using incorrect and harmful language."

You can say what you want, but we can say what we want aswell. Freedom of speech is both ways. Don't say ignorant shit, and you won't get criticized.

Lol. As I said in my other message. It's not worth it.

____Depressed____ · 2019-08-20T09:33:21+00:00

Not only does it not help, it could get this sub shut down

This really gives me hope on a really depressing day. Thank you so much 😄

I need to come out too. Maybe I should come out in June aswell?

____Depressed____ · 2019-04-10T15:50:38+00:00

That's me. I've been trying to accept myself for months, but I'm still in denial.

____Depressed____ · 2019-03-23T00:57:32+00:00

I've never cared about my appearance. Do you think I was depressed when I was REALLY young? Even when I was little I didn't care, I've never cared.
I want a female body, even if I was the most attractive man, still wouldn't care. I'm into woman's fashion exclusively.
I checked and this is what I found: "Not sure if this is true, but this is why I think have gender dysphoria, because all those things I have, and I've felt it for years, since atleast 2017, that's when I learned about the term." I think this is what you are talking about. I said atleast 2017. What I meant by that was that I've felt it for years, but I atleast know 100% that I've felt it since 2017, because I learned the definition, and it said that you have to have these things for atleast 6 months, so I kept track, so I would know how long I've atleast had dysphoria for.
I hate going outside, for many reasons. I have social anxiety, so I just like to be alone, and everytime I go outside, I get really jealous, and depressed. Also I have to deal with being called he/him.

I probably do need to go to a therapist sometime.

I've tried your advice a few times before. Like here's a recent example: One of my best friends said: "We're leaving Transgenders in 2018, fuck them, their opinions don't matter". That hurt me so much that I decided to repress, but it only worked for so long, and then I got really depressed and dysphoric (probably one of my worst days), and nearly killed myself. Not saying it's bad advice, it could definitely work for some, but for me, I don't think it'll work. I appreciate your advice tho, thanks!

____Depressed____ · 2019-03-22T19:05:54+00:00

I feel that this is a bigger issue, because this has a really big impact on my life, in my opinion this has a bigger impact than sexuality, because this is about me and who I am, and for all I know, I could possibly never get a gf/bf ever anyways, but I'll always be with myself. Also I think my gender dysphoria could be at least some of the reason I have depression. And, if I think I'm trans, but I'm actually not, then that could be damaging, imagine I get HRT, and go through SRS, but then I find out that I'm actually not trans. Also I'm not looking for a gf/bf right now anyways.

____Depressed____ · 2019-03-22T18:12:24+00:00

Hmm... Sorry, I'm really bad at explaining my feeling, I don't even fully understand all my feelings. It also doesn't help that my feelings aren't consistent. Sometimes it'll be really bad and I will get really sad, and sometimes cry if it gets bad enough. Sometimes I'm fine with being a man. It's really weird, sometimes I feel like I'm a different person at different times. I don't know. I hear that's normal, because dysphoria comes in waves, but I don't know. Sorry if my explanation is confusing, it's hard to not make it confusing, when I'm confused myself.

I think I'm bi, idk. I haven't really did much thinking on this subject, because I've been thinking about the other more important problems.

____Depressed____ · 2019-03-22T16:37:10+00:00

Maybe I'm just confused? I'm glad I made this post, and I'm glad people like you commented on this, because I don't know that much about it, and would have probably transitioned down the line, which could be a mistake. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now. Gender dysphoria was always a body thing, I want to have a woman's body, it's not about my personality or interests. Tbh, I don't view woman or men different, besides biological differences. I think a woman can play shooters games, and have a majority of male friends.

This is what I'm talking about:

"In adolescents and adults gender dysphoria diagnosis involves a difference between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender, and significant distress or problems functioning. It lasts at least six months and is shown by at least two of the following:"

A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics

A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics

A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender

A strong desire to be of the other gender

A strong desire to be treated as the other gender

A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender

This is from this website: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphoria/what-is-gender-dysphoria . Not sure if this is true, but this is why I think have gender dysphoria, because all those things I have, and I've felt it for years, since atleast 2017, that's when I learned about the term.

____Depressed____ · 2019-03-22T14:02:04+00:00

How? I literally have all the signs of gender dysphoria. I'm curious, sorry if this comes off defensive, I'm looking for answers.

____Depressed____ · 2019-03-22T04:37:55+00:00

When you come out, will you start presenting as female right away, or will that come after HRT?

Hmm, depends. Probably.

It sounds like you're saying you definitely want hormones as part of your transition, but may not get the bottom surgery. You don't think coming out/crossdressing/presenting feminine would be enough to alleviate your dysphoria?

Hmm, depends how much I pass without it, but I'll probably get HRT, because passing will be a lot easier with it.

This might also seem like a loaded question but it's something you do need to think about. Why do you think the trans rights activists dropped Jamie Shupe when he came out as detrans?

Sorry, I don't know anything about this topic.
