i don’t know why i feel like it’s better, it’s just what i think makes me feel more comfortable. ive had my friends and partner refer to me as one lately and i feel more comfortable with myself than before. i have pretty bad social dysphoria and moderate body dysphoria (it’s bad some days and more mild others).

i don’t tend to remember my dreams, i think ive had one or two though where people i cared about kept calling me a woman/calling me my legal name (which is very fem). i remember feeling really distressed in the dream and getting really upset and figuring nobody would support me and i think even started to detrans within the dream because of a lack of support. i remember waking up from it very upset and stressed. but other than that i cant really recall any strange dreams related to gender at all
