I'm in my mid 20s and this is ruining my life. Ever since i was about 12 i masturbated to the idea of being a woman. It was like a daily ritual. I crossdressed ocasionally and masturbated in women's clothes. I know this is autogynephilia. I didn't know the word at the time but once i did it made sense to me. My life up to this point is a blur to be honest. I can't remember anything else about my childhood or teenage years or even up until a couple of years ago. I think i'm bi as well but i've never kissed anyone or had sex. All i can think about now is how much i hate being a man but i feel like it's all because of my autogynephilia and lack of a sex life. The idea of being a woman is on my mind every second of every day. I hate seeing myself in the mirror. I don't get my picture taken. Being called handsome or compared to other men makes me cringe. I know this all stems from autogynephilia but how do i move past it? I take finasteride to stop hair loss and i take antidepressants but i'm still miserable. I can't go on dates and struggle to keep jobs. I know some people say autogynephiles can transition but i'm not trans. Please. How do i stop being an autogynephile or learn to ignore it so it stops interfering with my life.
It doesn't seem to be possible to get rid of AGP. At best it can be held back from progressing further.

If youve been thinking about how much you want to be a woman since you were a kid, then there is a chance it never goes away, atleast for me it never did. Im not gonna tell you to transition because it has a good chance of fucking up your life, that is your choice to make. But transition saved me even though im agp.
>>42196682The mistake that reppers make is thinking that 100% repressing can work. It never does. Think of it like a boiler that keeps filling up with pressure. If you don't periodically allow the built up pressure to escape, eventually it will explode. That explosion can take the form of an hero, or snapping hard into full transition.
>>42196728So can you relate to what i'm saying?
>>42196636why not start hormones? it would have the same effects as finasteride and also potentially make you feel better in your body. you dont have to transition but can condinue to manmode.
>>42196771kind of, I don't think I masturbated to the idea of being a woman, but I really wanted to be a woman, a lot of that for sexual reasons. I would also find any excuse to cross dress too.I've had a pretty successful transition despite repressing until I was 20 due to shame. Now that annoying voice is gone and I'm happier.
>>42196855What do you mean by sexual reasons?
>>42196947I wanted to experience sex as a woman
>>42196826I feel like i'd be taking resources away from people actually suffering from gender dysphoria
>>42197058if you DIY, you aren't taking resources away from anyone. there isn't a hormone shortage, if producers see a spike in demand they'll just buy more raws.the only place this concern makes any kind of sense is for like NHS waitlists, and those are already so long that i would not recommend anyone go through them anyway
>>42196738So how do i stop my agp getting worse?
>>42197623Strict limits on "girly time," for example dressing up and fapping once a week if that's your thing.Don't putter about the house cross-dressed all day. Build and maintain a connection to male social life.Nut regularly. Post nut clarity is what you want.
>>42197255Not going to lie the effects of hrt sound good but i would just be indulging in a fetish
