I think this is my 3rd (?) time visiting this board but my first time making a thread.I was born male. Im 22. To be honest I'm not really in the whole /lgbt/ sphere, I don't know a lot. But the idea of being female just.. it has an allure to me, I guess?I don't think I have gender dysmorphia, I don't HATE being a guy but I also don't look at my body and like it, it just feels like it is what it is and I tolerate it.I think it's worth mentioning I was raised by a single mom, so.. I'm not even sure I do guy things, I'm just a nerdy shy dude who draws and I pee sitting down and never used a urinalBut yea. For the longest time, I've been wanting to feel less like I'm just tolerating looking like crap and make myself more nice looking or something, and I feel like looking more female would achieve that maybe. I honestly don't know what to do and I don't want to make the wrong decision. So, I guess I'm saying all this because I want help, I want to know what I should do.Like, my genuine biggest issue is that I come here, and I have some thoughts Like, oooh, I'm finally gonna do something about this thing I keep thinking about, but then I do nothing, yknow? I feel like I'm lacking a concrete plan or understanding of these thoughts I have.What do you guys think?
this is the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria, wanting to be a woman is part of gender dysphoriaif you know want to be more feminine you can just take estrogen
>>44868091read this, it’s kinda sneedy but it’s decenthttps://genderdysphoria.fyi/enalso it’s dysphoria, dysmorphia is refer g to Body Dysmorphic Disorder- “ is a mental health condition where you can’t stop thinking about one or more perceived flaws in your appearance, even if they are minor or not noticeable to others.”
>>44868091gender identity is not real >ever since I was 5 i dreamed of wearing pretty dresseslol ok nigger. this is not dr zoidbergs gender clinic you don't have to retcon your life into some bullshit diagnostic criteria.look there is a very easy way to think about this. you have to live in your body. your body is going to masculinise more and more. if you're ok with that do nothing. if you want your body to stop masculinising and get more feminine, take your fucking pillls. you have our permission.
>>44868109begone agp.
>>44868091>don't even look at self, just tolerating body for what it isLiterally what I was doing before transition. I always felt like something was wrong with my face and there was just nothing I could do to fix it for a while. I felt so dumb not knowing about it until one of my good friends visited and had pointed out the signs from our past of things I would say casually in conversation about how I would be "okay with" certain things like boobs or a pussy or whatever. I think I suppressed my femininity for a period of time after high school cuz I thought I had to grow up or something. You never grow out of it, it's always a part of you. There's no harm in seeing a doctor about this and trying hrt for a while. No changes are permanent until about a year, you don't even have to change your identity or presentation right away if you don't want to.
>>44868091Is it just body image? Socially and behaviorally, do you feel closer with men or women? I think other people ITT are jumping to conclusions. Being indifferent about your body and curious about the other gender's body is pretty common to cis people.
>>44870089letters?
>>44870154straight mtf
>>44870199guessed as much. >and curious about the other gender's body is pretty common to cis peopleThis is something most cis people genuinely never thought about
>>44870226It's common enough where it isn't significant alone. Imaginative people wonder about stuff like if they were born in a different country or if they were an animal pretty commonly.
>>44868304Nigga every tranny on here is agp.
>>44868091take your HRT, retard
>>44868091You should lock in and try to make yourself presentable as possible with the equipment you were given. It’s a tough world and first impressions are everything. Don’t make things needlessly harder by transitioning. Almost no one “passes” besides an extreme minority of guys who are short and have a lot of money for plastic surgery.
>>44868091Anon if you aren't dysphoric already you will be the longer you stay on here and interact with trannies. This is my warning to you as someone who was in a similar position a few years ago and is now too deep down the rabbithole.
>>44868102Why do y’all call everything that isnt just girls saying they want to shoot themselves in the face because they’re 6’9” gigantopithicus rapehons sneedy???
I think you should be aware that this website's lgbt board is filled with people who live to make you suffer.There are people paid to torture us, but some people simply believe that if they hurt us enough, they'll stop hating themselves.They aren't standard trolls. They don't simply get off on making you have angry eyebrows. If you are not on your guard at all times, they will rape your children to death. I am not fucking around, i'm not playing. I am giving you a friendly warning.
>>44870724its okay dog you can just say theyre testing the charlie kirk epstein palantir chatbots on here instead of writing dialogue for a cool scifi tutorial npc
>>44870399NTA but that page is genuinely a little hugboxy, from the article:>https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/am-i-trans>Consider That Most Cis People Actively Like Being The Gender They Were Assigned At Birth people indifferent about their bodies or have dysmorphia without dysphoria or having a tough puberty aren't trans>Consider That If You Want To Be A Girl/Boy, Then You Are Already A Girl/Boy people are gendered based on how they physically pass, even among woke circles (just subconsciously)>Consider That Most Cis People Don’t Think About Their Gender Very Much gender is a huge element of identity, and women especially are very invested in that element
>>44868091>I don't HATE being a guyyou are not a trans, and this is not the right place for you to be in when you are in that kind of state of mind
>>44870822Most people who keep saying end up being reppers who clearly hate being a man but just believe that's the norm
>>44868091men are biological tanks both in the physical and mental sense.It's not just social gender norms that cause men to "tank it" or "thug that shit out" or say "it is what it is" men are genuinely biologically incentivised to ignore their feelings. It's biologically optimal for survival and reproduction. The social norms that reinforce this do exist but the roots for this are biological.It's not just gender dysphoria it's the same with men feeling grief or sadness of any kind. It's why men attempt suicide less but succeed more, they only attempt when they reach their absolute emotional limits. I used to think it's "fine" and only started taking estrogen because i wanted to kill myself and thought might as well. Now I'm on E and can't believe I used to be content with this.
>>44868091lmao dont be a fucking pussy dudeget a wife and have some kids man itll be fine dude jeez haha
>>44871280That doesn't explain ftm though because I doubt emotional repression is ever beneficial in the long run
>>44870761>gender is a huge element of identity, and women especially are very invested in that elementObviously yeah but cis people don't think about why they perform their gender rolecis men don't think about why they sit and gesticulate and speak a certain way they just do it cause that's how they were raised and they're content with that wheras trannies may not bethats probably what they meant by that
>>44871315>I doubt emotional repression is ever beneficial in the long runevolution doesn't care about the "long run" it cares about you surviving long enough to fuck a woman and provide her and your kids with food until they can provide for themselves so the cycle can continue.think about the average age of a failed repressor. John 50. They feel gender dysphoria and it causes them discomfort but their male neurology and hormones make them tank it until they can't take it anymore and they honmode or kill themselvesThere's no jane 50s cause they break sooner
>>44868304I'm not agp but you are lying to yourself to appease people you will never meet hon. it's pathetic
>>44871446You're so retarded it's actually baffling. Please never post again.
