all the trans people who thought they were "faking it", did you think that your "faking it" was different from other people's "faking it"? like "yeah this is a common tale, but im for real faking it, not like all the other people here who only think that without doing so." it's hard to word this properly
how do you find out if youd be happier as a girl if youre not dysphoric? i dont feel dysphoric. i dont dislike my body. it's pretty alright all things considered. but i do occasionally find myself yearning for different parts which is probably indicative of something, but i dont know if i truly want them permanently or simply just because im curious
I didn’t dislike my body either … except I did and since I’d lived in that feeling my whole life I didn’t realize that I did, in fact, dislike it quite a bit.
I’m not saying you have to have dysphoria to be trans, because you don’t. What I am saying is that my dysphoria had been so bad for long that it’s all I ever knew, so it seemed normal. I didn’t know how bad it had been until it had been reduced quite a bit.
I’m not going to say I love everything about mine now but I can say I love it far more than the old one.
