i realize this might be a controversial question. i just had this experience a few weeks ago watching a random youtube video and it keeps popping into my head. im not going to link it or even describe the content because i really dont want to be perceived as even tangentially shaming anyone. i was watching this video and at a certain point i just couldn’t continue watching because a man in the video was giving me serious gender dysphoria.

its hard to tell what exactly was even making me feel that way. i think it was maybe the clothes he was wearing and just his overall presentation reminded me of when i was an egg doing my best impersonation of a man but feeling so incredibly horrible the whole time. ive never really felt that way about someone before but it kinda makes sense as like the opposite of gender envy maybe?

idk maybe this wont make sense to anyone. curious about peoples thoughts.

    I’ve had similar feels… Sometimes I look at a man and he’s reminding me of the nightmare that’s been my life for decades. Sometimes it makes me really sad and anxious, other times it makes me happy, because I finally woke up.

    Opposite of gender envy makes a lot of sense to me.
