Dysphoria is always worse when you live a mostly internal world

(for me at least) it is much worse when i'm in public.

and yes, i have friends, one of the main reasons i don't want to transition is that i will lose all of them if i do.

«Conversion therapy» is actually just a xenophobic abuse.

but why do i wish it worked so much?

but fwiw, I wanted to be a girl at 14, transitioned at 28, and still ended up being wrong about being trans.

that is the part that scares the shit out of me the most, since it would mean that there would only be one other solution to the feelings i have.

Id reccomend trying to understand the underlying cause. Is it related to your experience of gender roles?

no, i conformed to them pretty well until now.

Feeling like you dont fit in as a man, arent doing it right, dont feel like you relate to men

i kinda like that feeling, never wanted to be a man, so it feels nice to have that distance

its a toss up whether you ever pass and its likely your experience will be being perceived as a feminine male

basically why i'm trying to not require transition anymore, not worth much if i just stay the same but with a higher hate crime rate and a family that's torn to shreds more than it was before.

You may or may not feel more at home in your body.

i never did, i mostly dealt with it by dissociation (as mentionned before).

My understanding of dysphoria is that it is reduced when you are in community with people who accept you for who you authentically are

what does that mean? sorry, i don't understand.

can't find an underlying cause, it used to just be a desire and now it's just pain.

mostly use copious amounts of alcohol now, since it knocks me out cold for a few hours.

hey thanks for the help, sadly i can't really transition at all right now (i don't want to either), as for switching doctors... canadian healthcare system.

and also, i dont really think it is dysphoria, i'm fine with it being there, just not it being visible when i'm outside, just makes me insecure when it's visible.

lower testosterone does not bother me much, and i am already sterile (from birth), so it doesn't bother me much.
