That's a fair take. After seeing everyone else advice I think I was projecting too much.

I'm kinda turned on

110% this. And they still don't get it.

Well, I scheduled an appointment with a therapist. Said I wanted to talk about gender identity issues, amongst other things. The first time I've ever revealed myself IRL. It felt good, and was kind of exciting too.

Well, to me you are incredibly brave.

Thank you for telling me your situation. I don't know what's going to happen with my life but hearing from you and the others means a lot, and makes me feel less alone.

I watched it all and several of her other videos and ill be watching more. Thank you. Is the height and hair thing true? My body hair and balding are what trigger my dysphoria the most.

Is just "trying" HRT a thing? A doctor will just prescribe it estrogen and anti androgens?

That's basically what I'd be looking at. You are a very strong and brave woman.

Thank you so so much

My heart goes out to you internet stranger. If you're willing to share more, I'd love to hear how your life had changed for the better.

What's probably crazy is thinking about it for months and years and years feels normal. I have an equation in my head, are* the benefits of transitioning equal to or greater than the cost of blowing up my life. Right now it still feels like the cost would be too high, but I don't know anymore...

No therapist but I'm hoping to start seeing one soon. I have a lot I need to deal with besides being trans.

Pretty much ya. I had never really thought that my dysphoria could be hurting me. It's just always been something I carry around, and I've treated it like any other unfulfillable desire. It definitely made me more anti-social, and instead of seeking out a girl friend i was happy to fantasize about being a girl. I'm not completely disgusted by my own body like I've read others are, which probably helped with coping too.

I sobered up a couple years ago and have started to face the reality thst I'm getting older. With that has come a realization that my dysphoria has probably significantly hampered my life.

I hope not, maybe I'm projecting too much.

It's possible she could... I haven't felt this constantly dysphoric in years.
