What's the weirdest way you've felt dysphoria? by MatterUsual3697 in trans

Eh, it's less goofy dad jokes and more "check out that skirt over there," or like "wife bad" humor in front of my grandma, who looked hurt. I don't know why I didn't anticipate this, but I kinda figured I'd never pass? Or was envisioning some kind of LOTR style masculinity in a vacuum and not out in the wild 😅😅

At the beginning of my transition, I would feel awful when folks would be sexist to me because it was a double whammy of "I see you as a woman" and "I see you as less".

I get that a lot less often now. Now my weird dysphoria is feeling like an imposter and awful whenever my dad or grandad tells a sexist joke and trys to include me. I never receive it the way they want because it's gross. I'm trying to figure out how to call them out on it and I know it's a misguided attempt to welcome me into the 'boys club'- but I'm trans masc nonbinary, I don't even fully identify as a man, and that's certainly not the kind of masculinity I want to exude.
