it says that youre normal though your shoulders likely arent that bad nona <3

This is a larp, but i'll play along

It its honestly saddening that psychologists / psychotherapists have completely copped-out of actually helping people with dysphoria, by just fobbing them off with "just live with it", and getting pushing an agenda that tries to legitimise it into society.

In truth, transitioning doesn't make that internal conflict feeling go away. And making irreversible changes to your body can make you feel even worse: a sense of regret that you've made a permanent change, and can never go back- all for it to not have helped alleviate the mental discomfort

Possibly an option of low-dose pharmaceuticals on a closely monitored titration, and other talking therapies (that is for the psychologists / psychiatrists to work out)

I will note, that the medication route should only be followed if the person is informed and willing. There is someone in another thread that seems very upset with the notion (possibly because I suggested a [very low dose] anti-psychotic). But i'm not a doctor, and will not pretend to know what i'm talking about. Its just a general retarded uninformed suggestion.

There is a strong link between dysphoria, and autism: and of course, there is no "cure" for autism, as its likely a permanent neurological configuration.

what pharmaceuticals? are you talking about Ssri/antipsychotics or hrt?

oh you sweet summer child psychologists never helped anyone

Not hormones, as the idea is to try and shift the gender fixation (and hopefully dispel the dysphoria)

Other medication would be up to the doctors to hopefully responsibly prescribe, based on individual need.

Antipsychotics might help; but the dosage must be correct, and any side-effects fully explained. Problem is, even with low doses, a fair few of the worst-case autists probably wouldn't actually take them, out of a fringe-schizophrenic superiority

this isn't actionable advice because finding a doctor like this is a needle in a haystack to begin with but it also requires the patient to come out as having gender dysphoria without wanting to transition, which defeats the purpose of going through that trouble to begin with; it self selects because anyone in that position would be able to repress without going to a doctor. and to get to that point requires a rational enough mind that no doctor would prescribe antipsychotics. so it really just looks like a way for you to tell yourself that there's a way to treat gender dysphoria without hrt.

Do you consider HRT a "treatment"?
Does it actually relieve the dysphoria?

I'm hesitant to support it, due to irreversible effects on the body, which may later add regret to an already troublesome dysphoria.

Do other (non-HRT) medications cause such drastic persistent changes to the body? There may be side effects, but these would hopefully eventually subside- whereas breasts don't.

>requires the patient to come out as having gender dysphoria without wanting to transition

>defeats the purpose of going through that trouble

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here: why would energy used in coming out / seeking help with a condition be wasted somehow if it didn't lead to a transition? Surely the ultimate goal, is to reduce the distress- and the most direct way is to primarily identify, accept, and address the condition.


This sounds like your own circular logic based on a bias towards integrating into the dysphoric identity; of which i'm concerned might not be effective. I have trans friends, so I do actually care- even if this seems misguided.

>anyone in that position would be able to repress without going to a doctor

So a person is not truly suffering, unless they have the desire to transition? This sounds like a "no true scotsman" fallacy
