As we approach the summer season and the weather starts to get warmer I can't help but feel incredibly depressed and a little jealous when I go out and see women in summer dresses. I want to wear cute skirts and sundresses and feel pretty, comfortable and sexy doing so. But I am a stupid hairy man who wishes he was born female. It was easier to hide it in winter when we were all wearing thick clothing but now I really feel it. Summer is unbearable as a man. I can really feel my penis and my balls dangling around. I hate when it gets sweaty and my balls get stuck to my leg or when you get a random erection for literally no good reason. I know in my heart I would've been happier and more comfortable as a woman. Is it normal to feel this way? How do you curb these feelings?
no
i guess i do, but i think thats because im a perma academiamoder so i interact less with people during the summer. stewing alone in my depression/dysphoria just makes a feedback loop. desu in terms of clothing its not as bad as winter dysphoria (when i have to wear massive clothing), but its def not my fav. i need the right combo of loose layers/revealing bodycon clothing to make my moid body look kinda feminine.
>>43680181yes its over forever because im a size 12 womens
>>43681372(in shoes i mean) im not fat
>>43680208Would you say that you feel more confident in yourself? Or do you just feel no change at all?>>43681372I am a 6ft guy with an incredibly blocky build and thick body hair. No matter what I do I will never look like the women in the OP pic. I never feel cute or sexy, people just get visibly scared or intimidated by me. It feels so shit, I can't help but feel extremely jealous of cis girls who get to walk around looking beautiful.
>>43680181>Do you get more dysphoria during summer? YES yes i do. i thought it was only me. >dressesnoi thought you meant some kind of seasonal hormone thing.
>>43682694>YES yes i do. i thought it was only me.that's interesting, would love to hear more about how it affects you and what it feels like
my skin got warmer i miss looking pale and ghastly cus it made my strong features jus look slavic and have frail and consumptive vibe instead of out of place
>>43680181Yes> How do you curb these feelings?No idea
>>43680181Sometimes. The longer daylight hours mean more normies who I try to avoid and more hours of trying to avoid my shadow. I think sunlight also accentuates my gorilla features.
>>43682694I don't know much about seasonal hormone changes but my guess is that when we sweat more in summer we give off more of our inherent male body odour. Men naturally have larger apocrine glands and therefore give off a musky scent whereas women tend to have a much sweeter fruity scent due to having fewer fatty acids. Pair this with the boiling summer heat and men will naturally end up sweating like a pig and smelling like one too.
>>43680181i hate showing skin. i fucking HATE heat. and where i live it reliably gets in excess of 100F all summer. i hate sweat. but more than anything i hate being alone, without anything to do. any weather is bearable if you're having fun and making memories in it
