Forgot some questions
Is it dysphoria if living as one's own birth sex feels like a chore?
Is it an indicator of dysphoria if one feels like unlucky for being born as one's birth sex?
How severe has dysphoria have to be in order for transitioning to be worth it?
Is there a way to be certain one wouldn't feel reverse dysphoric by transitioning?
Is gender envy a sign of gender dysphoria?
How can one make sure it's actually genuine gender dysphoria and not a mix of unrelated issues masquerading as gender dysphoria?
I'd really appreciate a brief reply if possible, and sorry for begging for it

If your biggest worry is passing or whatever then transition. Hell, id say you should try it if you have any feelings of gender stuff. You can just take it for a month and see how you feel

>>40983327
SEVERE tranny thoughts like this usually... uhm... indicate your trans.

>>40983687
I've taken it for about 4 months, and I'm still unsure.
My biggest worry isn't even passing, but the fear that I'm mistaking my emotions, and that I'll come to hate transitioning

>>40983722
But what if my dysphoria isn't severe and not something that showed itself during childhood or even puberty?

>>40983731
> more tranny thoughts
then you are already brainwormed.
just take your mones nona.

>>40983814
I don't feel like me being cautious about it counts as having tranny thoughts.
It really feels like my case is so unusual, that I might really be a confused and neurotic cis guy, which is bound to detransition. Really don't want that to be the case

>>40983327
>How much does one need to hate one's birth sex in order for it to count as dysphoria?
idk there isnt really a scale for that
>Is it dysphoria if living as one's birth sex is completely doable, but not preferable?
no
>Does it count as dysphoria if sexually dimorphic features don't cause immediate distress, even if one wants to get rid of them asap?
what makes you want to get rid of them if its not distress?
>Is it dysphoria if one feels little to no belonging towards one's birth sex
no
>... dislikes being perceived as such?
yes
>How can one tell the difference between being insecure or dysphoric from one's own appearance?
if you're amab, would you rather be an ugly woman or a chad?
>Is it dysphoria if living as one's own birth sex feels like a chore?
kind of
>Is it an indicator of dysphoria if one feels like unlucky for being born as one's birth sex?
no necessarily, there are a lot of men who say that women have it better and vice versa
>How severe has dysphoria have to be in order for transitioning to be worth it?
heavily depends on circumstances
>Is there a way to be certain one wouldn't feel reverse dysphoric by transitioning?
honestly idk
>Is gender envy a sign of gender dysphoria?
yes
>How can one make sure it's actually genuine gender dysphoria and not a mix of unrelated issues masquerading as gender dysphoria?
diagnosis

>what makes you want to get rid of them if its not distress?
Genuinely can't tell. Whenever I'm reminded of the fact that I have facial hair for example, the thought of getting lhr and electrolysis immediately follows, or whenever I speak, I think to myself that I really should voicetrain "just in case". Despite that, it doesn't feel explicitly distressing, but it doesn't feel good either.
>if you're amab, would you rather be an ugly woman or a chad?
These thought experiments almost never work for me, since I almost never would prefer to be another person.
I have the potential to look like a chad, but I'd pick looking like an average woman any day of the week.
>no necessarily, there are a lot of men who say that women have it better and vice versa
They say that because of external influences, like how women complain about all the privileges men have or how men complain about how woman are appreciated more socially in general.
I was referring to feeling unlucky explicitly only because of intrinsic reasons. Feeling like one got the short end of the stick at birth and having to live as something not preferred by oneself.
>honestly idk
There probably is no way to know except for finding it out by going through with it. Detransition always remains an option, and it's comparatively easy for a mtf transition

nta, diifferent problems, but I want to join
Is it dysphoria to want to hack your tits off, your curves, and just generally have extremely graphically violent thoughts of tearing your flesh apart? With emphasis on the tits.
Is it dysphoria to be physically unable to go outside without a binder?
Is it dysphoria to have castration fantasies?
Is it dysphoria to immediately avoid people if they know your birth sex?
Is it dysphoria if you want to be infertile?
Is it dysphoria if intensified by physical touch?
Is it dysphoria if you have PTSD?
>diagnosis
I have one, but honestly I fished my therapist hard for it.

>>40983955
This is so blatantly severe gender dysphoria, that I'm surprised you're not confident in it being gender dysphoria

>>40984110
It exclusively the last part that makes me question it. That maybe everyone who was raped feels the same. Or something like that. Its the one thing stopping me from fully committing to it.
Too, I've lived 5 years as a trap/crossdressing. And boxing/bball with the boys while crossdressing is the one time I'm truly happy. So I want to so bad. My testosterone vials are just right there in storage, just in reach. Its just, it could just be that I have to man up and get over my past little kid shit and then I can be normal. Or something.

>>40984175
How would you feel if you found out you're not actually trans, and it was just your trauma causing you to feel this way? I'd wager you'd feel distraught, right?

>>40984175
sorry to hear you had to go through this. it can in fact be the reason why you feel this way. but even if that's the case, what's the worst thing that could happen if you transition?

>>40984183
Not really. If you mean I'd miss having a female body, there's no way I could miss that. But it is a little more complicated than that.
There's a raw sensation to it. Maybe transsexuals feel this too. Its mainly what I'm confused by. Its a raw sensation beyond just hating the dymorphic sex characteristics, though that's a large chunk of it. For me, an equally large chunk is this sensation of insects crawling through your skin. Something invading your body/skin. So you want to jump out/rip out your skin. Sorry if that makes no sense kek. You can ask and I can try to explain it better. Curious if that is dysphoria.
If that sensation didn't go away. I'd be confused. Because I'd be 90% sure it should work. But not distraught, because at least the sex organs are taken care of.
Putting it that way it does make sense to just go for it instead of trying to convince myself to like something I hate, huh.

>>40984226
My question was phrased poorly. I was asking how you'd feel if you somehow found out that you feel this way in your body because of the trauma, and that you shouldn't transition.
My deepest condolences that you had to endure something so traumatic, but I highly doubt that the reason you are so dysphoric. There are unfortunately plenty of people who experience trauma, but none "become trans" because of it

>>40983327
I've been asking myself mostly the same questions, and I can't come to a conclusive answer. It feels like I'm just a cis person with tranny thoughts

>>40983327
bump. I wonder how other trannies would answer these questions

Not in the mood to answer the questions, but the fact that you even feel the need to ask them very likely indicates that you do have gender dysphoria

>>40983327
the fact you are sitting here on this board asking these questions shows you have dysphoria, just start hrt before you get any more ugly

>>40985975
>>40985987
My last question applies here quite well. How can one make sure it's actually genuine gender dysphoria and not a mix of unrelated issues masquerading as gender dysphoria?

>>40986093
It has been mentioned above. Get a diagnosis if you don't trust your own judgement

>>40986471
How would a diagnosis actually help me, if all I have to tell to the shrinks is that I'd prefer to be a woman in order to get a diagnosis?
I have little faith in therapists helping me figure out whether this desire is innate or not, and I also don't want to waste my money on it

>>40986760
Do shrooms. It unironically might help and it's way cheaper than a shrink

>>40983327
it probably is dysphoria at the point where you're spending time on and asking dysphoria questions on obscure online tranny forums

>>40987937
If it is, I don't understand why I'm not actually distressed by my sexually dimorphic features. I just don't like them, but they don't cause me any direct emotional pain

>>40983327
At no point
You are a cis
