Bored and feeling too nauseous to do much atm while recovering from surgery. So i wanted to hear about some of your experiences. I think mine was quite uncommon because i never identified my personal discomfort as dysphoria and rather found out through lying about my identity online (for anonymity purposes) that being seen and addressed as male felt incredibly euphoric and just right. Through that the discomfort in my day to day life becoming more apparent till i eventually had to consider the possibility of being trans and everything else kinda started from there. I was 15-16 during that time. The dysphoria i felt in younger years for me back then was just something i assumed is normal if youre a teenage girl
My ex-girlfriend asked “Do you feel like you are a girl?”. All of a sudden a few things clicked, and I said “yes.”
Yeah, my ex-wife noticed some signs over the years, pretty much asked the same thing, which led to a lot of introspection and eventually the “Oh fuck I’m a girl” thought hit really hard.
