Thank you for this one, sir. I temporarily stopped HRT due to some reasons. My gender dysphoria is on the roof. 🥺

My gender identity is fluent and changing, how often do you recommend transition and detransition?

[@s4int_64njo7]

Dr said its called Gender Expansiveness. Lol you can't make this nonsense up.

I wonder what causes gender dysphoria. And why so many approaches see affirmation as the only way to go - instead of fixing it from the roots. (In case there is a cause that would be fixable.)
