Discussion do you experience gender dysphoria?

[loslassen]

I suppose I want to know how many people on here experience this feeling;

gender dysphoria, the experience of feeling uncomfortable with the way you are perceived or express yourself due to it not aligning with your gender identity.

you don't have to be transgender to experience gender dysphoria


I believe deep down I am a closeted transgender man, my gender identity doesn't align with my body, social perception or assigned gender. while I do enjoy indulging in my femininity, I constantly experience *intense gender dysphoria toward my body, I genuinely just wish I was born a male.

sigh

Yes, I posted a thread about this earlier but I deleted it out of embarrassment lol. I've been dealing with a wave of gender dysphoria but unsure if I'd call myself FTM

Yes, I am ftm and was out socially for a few years actually but ended up going back in the closet and look feminine irl now :-( I miss when i was myself

I don't really like describing myself as a trans guy neccesarily, but I'm a guy that experiences gender dysphoria. it's ruined my life beyond ever repairable and is a pretty big contributor to why i wanna ctb

I don't experience it as intensely as a lot of people do, but it's definitely there. Kind of fluctuates, so I tell people I'm nonbinary when they ask—at least in theory; nobody ever asks. I present as the gender I was assigned at birth, mostly because I know people would make it into a big thing if I didn't, and I really don't want to debate about it.
