As a cis male, who is currently still living under the roof of transphobic household, I was transphobic almost my entire life. It wasn't until I looked around, and truly realized what trans people go though. For those who I may have unknowingly hurt, I am deeply sorry. It hurts to know that people struggle like this, and that I turned a blind eye to the situation for so long. Even though realistically I probably haven't hurt anyone since I have very few people I actually talk to, I really want to say I am sorry. I'm thankful I got this off my chest.

Unfortunately the dark side of our social nature is we have a habit of absorbing whatever group-think is around us without a second thought, even group-think that's vile and hateful and downright deplorable. This is why some very unjust positions of society can remain for a thousand years or more yet suddenly seem to change overnight when the tides of change force the apathetic to self reflect on it, like what's happened for homosexuality. I think transgender acceptance is about at the place where homosexuality was in the early 2000's, and as scary as that is especially for anyone that's trans there's a light of hope to that as well, that just around the temporal corner, there's a wind of change blowing and we just have to make it there to see it, that we will, and things *will* get better. I highly recommend the episode "deep canvasing" from the podcast You Are Not So Smart on this note. It's just one very promising tactic of affecting change in the toolbox but to me at least to hear of it and how it came to be discovered was a very eye opening thing for me. The jest of it goes that after a slight majority of voters in California of all places back in 2008 voted against same sex marriage, the LGBT activist community was utterly stunned and bewildered, wondering, how? Why? One finally said why don't we just go ask them, and through door to door knocking to genuinely ask people in good faith why they voted against their rights, they stumbled into a new way to advocate, not by preaching but by listening. Not by telling off the presumed homophobe but by letting them share stories while they shared stories also, and in the process they found voters making epiphanies on their own and found just by getting enough people to choose on their own to slow down and self reflect through empathic *human-to-human* connections you can change enough minds to swing elections, even if all you have is time for a 15-20 minute front porch talk in each engagement. There's a little more to it than that, def. listen to that pod if it sounds remotely interesting though I can't recommend it enough.

"you will never be cisgender" this is what gets me most often. I'll never have had a boy's childhood. I'll never know what it's like to be born and raised a boy. I'll be a boy sure and just because I'm different doesn't mean I'm not valid but honestly the feeling of loss for a life I never got to live hurts me so much and my parents, although mostly accepting, have a really hard time understanding this because I (for the most part) had an okay childhood and had good friends and memories I wouldn't have had if I were a cis boy. But even so, I hate myself for that. I know trans men are valid but I always have this feeling that I'm inferior and will never feel okay with myself. And the fact that this is probably true sucks. I'm 7 months on T and my dysphoria is still bad. I have a feeling it will continue to be soul crushing for as long as I have a chest. Every night I think about why the fuck it's even worth trying if I'll never be okay in this body because it'll never be perfect. But then I see trans men older than me who have been through this and are better now and then I see my boyfriend who sees all of me as a man and my parents who still love me and little brother (12yo) who is absolutely stoked that I'm trans because according to him: "Some people say they want a sister or brother but I got to have both in one person!!" and is super happy to have a big brother now. And I have to remind myself that it's going to be okay eventhough everything inside me is constantly screaming about how utterly wrong everything feels all the time. But I gotta fight this for my future self and for my loved ones. Edit: Update. I’m now 26 months on T and 10 months post top surgery. Things are so much better now. I came back to this because of a bunch of new people finding my comment and I want y’all who are going through the same thing to know it does get better. Not gonna lie I still mourn the childhood I never got and most of what I said here is still how I feel, but it is SO much easier to deal with now. It’s not perfect and it never will be, and that sucks ass. But it’s at least okay now. And the further along I get in this, the less and less I hate myself and the more often I get days without any dysphoria at all. I don’t think it’ll ever go away fully, but I’m at a point now where I’m actually… kinda okay with that. I still have bad days/nights, but things just feel better. I know how hard it is. And I know everyone who says this sounds like they’re bullshitting you, but * things WILL be okay. And by every deity out there, it is absolutely worth it to stick it out through the very worst parts. *

A key thing to remember is that, you don't actually know what it feels like to be male, so what you feel like you want to be may be what you think being male is like, but you actually have no way of knowing that, so being overly fixated with it isn't helpful. People have a tendency to feel that the grass is always greener on the other side but unless you are actually there you can't ever really comprehend all of the components and moving parts so basing life decisions on such an incomplete understanding and guesstimates is not advisable.

You may not have gotten to be a boy, but you will get to be a man! That's something to look forward too, right? It also might help to look into inner child work - when parts of us aren't nurtured, they stay young inside us, but you can caretake your inner child who didn't get those important boy experiences. You should also really look into your feelings of being inferior, because changing your body won't make that go away. Once your chest is gone, it''ll be your muscles or your height or the money you make and it's endless (something I learned having an eating disorder -- when I reached my dream weight I found out it wasn't about the weight. That was more devasting than the disorder itself). Learn to feel adequate as the person you've made yourself into; that's the only way it will end. I believe in you. You've got this!

The jealousy runs both physically as in terms of biological things such as periods to mentally too - being jealous that cis people don’t have to be in a constant battle of mind vs body restricted by society and if they can even come out to be themselves in the first place. Also socially. It can be frustrating that cis people don’t have to worry about day to day stuff like being threatened or worse. I definitely have moments of jealousy to cis people and that privilege.

Lestrate guerre I don’t think that’s what they meant. I think it means straight/cis people have the benefit of being themselves, and not having to deal with society telling them it’s wrong or a constant battle with their mind and body. I’m pretty sure that was the point. No one would kill someone for being cis or straight, but would do it to someone the opposite in a heart beat. Which makes people who are lgbtq+ feel like straight/cis people have a privilege. Or atleast an advantage over them in society, which they definitely do.

@@kaiyodei For me, I didn't freak out about my hair, but it was a source of anxiety (and still is, as I try to figure out what I really want to do with it). My first discomfort around my hair was more of a realization that I had always gotten the blandest haircut possible. In fact, I did a _lot_ of things that helped me not be perceived, probably because I couldn't stand to look at myself in a mirror. Now, I'm understanding that I don't have to suppress myself to fit some invented mold. That's years (decades!) of repressed energy waiting to burst out. And I really only understood that pressure after some months, as the worry began to pile up and take its toll, so I can hardly blame anyone for not getting it at first! I'm lucky enough to have a supportive family and friends, and the independence of being an adult, but it must be so much harder for a teen whose family isn't supportive. Because you're right, a haircut shouldn't mean that much: so why should anyone's parent's get so upset about their kid expressing themselves in such a harmless way? The worst that could happen is that you wait for the hair to grow back out, right? It becomes very quickly apparent to the kid that their parents are trying to control and suppress rather than love and nurture, even if they don't have the wisdom to put it in those words. To add insult to injury, many of these parents claim to love their kids, but the hair is the evidence that they aren't even willing to see their kids for who they are. tl; dr To be in pain is to have certainty. To hear of another's pain is to have doubts.

The process was going fine until I reached one of the last sections of the paper: "I am aware that transitioning may lead to my relationships with family and friends my change, become more distant, or even severed." It was right then that I realized that if I wanted to be who I am, that there are going to be people who I might have to burn bridges with, who won't like me and will think less of me. That it was such a real possibility that a hospital saw this and thought it was important enough to include alongside "increased risk of heart attack" and "complications with the liver".

Lestrate guerre why are you comparing gender with religion? I can sort of(?) see what you mean, if I squint, but at the same time you worded your comment in a way that makes it seem like you’re saying transgender people can just choose not to be trans. thats just not how that works. That’s like, saying a bird can just stop being a bird whenever it wants. probably not the best comparison, but still. Choosing to Transition is a choice, yes, but no one chooses to be picked on or bullied or punished or shunned for being who they are, or doing what they need to do to feel like themselves.

I'm a trans guy. I've considered myself "fully transitioned" since June 12th, 2019. This came up in my recommended, I didn't think I'd get anything from it. Wow. I was wrong. Thank you. I needed to watch this and see other people actually experience this kind of stuff. I thought after I checked all the boxes I wanted to and declared my transition complete, life would become easier. It's much better than before I started all this in 2015, of course! But like you said... I'm not cis. I will never be cis. The question of, "Should I go stealth, or continue to live openly?" is always bouncing around in my mind. Even if I went stealth, it wouldn't make me cis. I'd still be trans, it'd still be hard. It's a journey. It's a ride. It's fun, it's hell... it's worth it. 💙

I've always been loud and proud, but I feel like events in the past year have shown me how important it is to be loud and /happy/.

As a baby trans just starting to transition, this hit hard. Realizing I'm trans at 23 has been equal parts liberating and terrifying. I've never felt as free as I do now, while equally feeling more trapped than ever before. It's a strange place to be... but I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm surrounded by amazing people, cis and trans, who are amazingly supportive and understanding. My husband is determined to stick it out with me, and it opened up the door to rebuild a relationship with a member of my family that I thought I'd lost forever. Some days are hard, some days are amazing, but... I'm finally me, and that's so much better than living a lie.

"You'll never be cis" Yep. Every now and then I'll think about how I never got to be a little girl, I never got to play with dolls, I never got to have a sleepover with the other girls, I never got to do so many things that are considered ubiquitous to the girl experience-and, just like you said, it breaks my heart every time I remember that I can't get pregnant. I want to get pregnant so bad, but I know that the only way it'll happen is if a dozen things I have little to no control over all go perfectly and all within the next 30 years (in other words, it's just not gonna happen). I still love being trans, I don't think I would choose to have been born a cis girl if I could... but that doesn't mean it's a perfect existence. I didn't find out I was a girl until I was already a woman. I'll... never have the childhood I deserved. I keep finding myself trying to reclaim it at least a little bit-buying stuffed animals and things like that-but I know I'll never get to go back. I'm just... picking up the pieces as best I can. But, to circle it back to more positive stuff... I think that I just wish I had figured it out sooner, not that I wish I was born cis. Gender euphoria is a wonderful feeling-ever since I experienced it for the first time three years ago, that spike of sheer joy and elation and excitement and comfort is just as potent as it ever was. I don't think I'd appreciate my femininity, my beauty, nearly as much if I had been born into it. I've fought long and hard for this body, and I'm enjoying it to the fullest! I'm 16 months on HRT, and I'm already more beautiful than I could have ever imagined-my breasts, my curves, my face, my butt, my hair... it's all just so beautiful! I love my body, every last part of it! Yeah I still get dysphoria sometimes (my voice and shoulders mainly), but I'm finally in a body I feel comfortable in! My depression has been CURED, as far as I'm concerned! My therapist once told me that I shouldn't dwell on what could have been since what I have now is still pretty great-and y'know what? She's right! I'm a woman through and through, and I love it! Sure my childhood may have been a trash fire, but I have risen from the flames as a beautiful phoenix! Like yeah, it would've been nice to have grown up as a girl (especially since I remember showing signs as early as 6 y/o), but y'know what-I'm a woman now, and that's pretty fuckin' great! 😊

I'm MTF. Been transitioning for a while now. At first... I was excited. And, after a time I wasn't anymore. I am, and am not upset, that I will never ever ever be a Ciswoman. I won't have kids. That... hurts. fundamentally. I can't ever have children. Ever. But now? Thinking about it... I'm happy I'm a trans woman. I might not be able to have kids, I might have to take pills, I might have to go through things that ciswomen will never deal with. But in a way, it's a testament to who I am. It shows how far I've come. It makes me realize that, well... I'm a woman at heart, and while many of you may not share my religious views. I think in a way I was made stronger this way, that whenever God picked out the parts to make me, he knew I could handle it. And I can. So yea, any of my fellow Trans folks out there, It's not all bad. It's gonna be tough, always. Your life is always tough. But it isn't bad. In many ways, being harder on you, it's good. It really makes you appreciate the things you do have, when you realize what you don't.

If I talk to my dad about it he just says that I need to be patient and if I talk to my mom she either tells me that now’s not the time to talk about it or yells at me because she thinks I’m getting it from the internet. Honestly I sometimes wish I was just getting it from the internet so I could just decide to be a cis girl. But I can’t. And it hurts so much. I just want to be normal.

The struggle of being non-binary is that there's no real hard goal. There's nothing to transition to, no statue of what an internationally recognised enby looks like, and though it's unbearably tough for trans men and trans women, at least people all agree that men and women exist. Enbies can't even guarantee that. There's no passing for me, until there's no longer a need to pass for any of us, and that's what I want to fight towards.

Every time I question if I'm really trans I come across something like this that makes me cry, like hearing the line about never being cis. It reminds me all over again that I am actually trans, and somehow it's a sting that hits me over and over again, never any gentler. I wish I could be cis- I wish so badly that I could just be cis, and never have to worry about it. Never having to worry about misgendering, aggression, rejection, any of it. And it has never seemed to matter how much effort I put in, no matter how obvious I make my pronoun buttons, no matter how many times I tell people, it's a constant process trying to not be misgendered and trying to be accepted. And then I go online and see people talking about people like me in such a negative light, pretending I can just snap my fingers and be cis, but I never can. Because I never chose this. If I were given the choice, I never would have chosen to be trans.

My 2 cents as a cis male: Trans people and cis people have differences. And that’s ok. When we think about how we treat people in society, we should treat them with the designation that is represented in their heart, considering that trans people have so often been hurt and targeted in every single demographic. Trans and cis people have their differences AND trans and cis people have the dignity inherent from being people. Every person has that dignity and your gender or sexuality, despite giving you different things to deal with, never negates that

My pain doesn't come from not being cis, surprisingly. I already had in mind that I would never be it. The pain comes from the prejudice, the risk and all that. I live in Brazil, I mean, so coming out as trans can be a direct death sentence, literally. Some months ago I came out to my parents, and they really didn't take it well, not at all, and that was when I opened my eyes to the fact that being trans means being possibly abandoned by the people who should care, means losing opportunities, facing danger, prejudice and all that. It really sucks, but it's truly living life in the "hard" mode, but I can't change what I am, or how I feel. Transitioning means that I will become a really obvious target to violence and all, at least initially, and it might even be a death sentence as I said, but, at the same time, the more time I spend like I currently am (no transition), the more it hurts, the stronger dysphoria gets, to the point where I can't really live like this. There's truly no good choice, it's either facing a stupidly big risk and possibly having most of my chances ruined and being abandoned by my entire family (literally everyone has prejudice, apart from 1-2 people), or living a life of pain and sadness (if that can at least be called living). All options will lead to a difficult life and a lot of suffering, all because of the simple fact of me being trans, because of the extreme prejudice there is in here. That's the greatest pain to me.

Questioning is part of growing, I mean, and hey, I appreciate you asking stuff, even if it's difficult to understand. Life as trans is definitely one of the most unconventional experiences out there lol, it's not easy to understand if you don't live it. We, too, also question ourselves all the time, just like cis people do, and we all arrive at different answers, decisions, and even different questions as a whole. Because of that, every situation is different, every trans person is different, and the only thing set in stone is respect. I'll never really understand people who get offended by questions and by others trying to learn, and I'm sorry you've had to go through that. That being said, though, I think I can offer some enlightenment on why this happens so much in the trans community. You see, being trans means you're legitimately... Scared. All the time, in most interactions and places (some which you simply can't frequent, it's too horrifying), because attacks to our choices and questions and identities are just that common. We are simply scared to live. We're scared of being ourselves and finding ourselves and asking our questions, and speaking our truth. Therefore, sometimes when people ask us about our way of life, our brain is kinda automatically wired to enter defense mode, you know? We already assume it's gonna be an attack, and thus we react accordingly, even if it's just someone trying to learn. That or sometimes we ourselves are just confused, too, I mean, for to be trans is to question yourself and society and what truth even means, it's breaking a lot of paradigms, and society doesn't really like that, does it? Sometimes it's society that is scared of questions. I guess in the end maybe everyone is just so confused and afraid of trying to find themselves, and questions are scary indeed. Life is a strange thing lol Anyway, what I mean is it is indeed confusing, and we are all scared and kinda lost. Not knowing who we are is an experience we all go through, it's just that we trans people are most often scared of trying to find that out, of being ourselves. There are a lot of arguments even among us, because the views of everyone are different, each one's questions and truths and identities are different. We're simply scared to question, to be ourselves, to live. In the end all that matters is respect. I hope this was helpful :>

Herowebcomics What proof do you have for those absurd claims. I have talk to an actual medical professional to get help with my dysphoria. And being transgender is not a lifestyle. It's not a choice in the first place. Dysphoria is an actual medical condition. None of it is a choice. if it was a choice, none of us would be dysphoric. Dysphoria is horrible, and millions of people deal with it on the daily. Myself included. Now please, do real research. And think about what you say before you type instead of being mindless about it.

Herowebcomics Please, leave religion out of this. And being transgender, non-binary, and having dysphoria, it's not a fear of others. But religion has no say in this. You unnecessarily dragged into it. And yes I have seen medical professionals. Dr. Heidi Rhodes to be specific. No stop brainlessly typing on the Internet trying to prove a point which is obviously wrong. Do your own legitimate research. And religion and anything associated with it does not count as research. And if you don't believe in transgender and non-binary people existing, leave us alone.

Herowebcomics OK we are now just going in circles. Nothing about being transgender is a choice. We don't choose to have a disassociation with our biological sex. I'm done arguing with someone that is refusing facts. Millions of people are transgender and non-binary. I'm giving you a link to a website that explains what transgender is and what it all means. Read it if you want. Remember all the information I have displayed to you in this slew of comments, is coming from someone underneath the transgender umbrella. And from someone that has seen multiple medical professionals. Now please, stop mindlessly arguing on the Internet to prove some impossible point. And maybe spend time with family or friends. www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/gender-identity/transgender

But what is "normal"? Who decide that? I am cis, but I am probably agender. When I was 9 war begun in my country, when I was 11 when was hit by granate and left handicaped for life, by the end of war I developed severe PTSD, living in fu# up country, never got therapy and help on time. So my behaviour was not normal, but in a same time it was. My cousin was 16 when s/he cut wrists in the bathroom, me and his/her brother found him/her. I was 14 in that time. By the age of 18 she/he was diagnoised as transgender, at 20 started hormonal therapy and told whole family. Aunt cried, I did not give a crap, but i was different since I became handicapped. My other cousin/brother at some argument told him/her, they were fighting over some stupid thing and she told him he is not normal, and he replied I am not normal, am I going to chop my di#k to get a pu#y or you? At that point I was already known as black sheep of family and I said neither of you is not normal, no one is normal, define normal.. they just stood there looking at me and I just said to her look it is your life, your body, your brain, you know who you are as person, don't give a crap what anyone thinks. I know your mum told you you will never be normal real woman, thaz a crap, if you want to do that do it. It is your life and when someone's tell you that you are not normal, neither are they. We all are fuc# up on some way. .. that was almost 20 years ago,12 years ago my cousin become she. That same year I started to date a person for who I had no idea which gender it was and I did not care. On a second date he told me he is born as girl, and will start hormonal therapy in next 2 years, just all medical papers and stuff must be done before approved, 5 years later, he was missing couple of thousands of euros to do operation. I gave him, her at that point was still her. 2 years late we broke up, had nothing to do with him being trans, but kinda did, even thou he was same person to me with different body, he changed after operation, not as person but he become more free,liberated, wanted to do bunch of stuff and refigure and I guess reidentify himself, and that was a journey in which I could not follow, he had to do it alone, I understood that coz I before met him had to do same, being different and handicapped makes you screwed, so my whole identity was over that, I was often scoled as a kid and teen for wanting BMX instead pinky girly bike, for hanging out more with guys than girls, but i never had issues with my birth gender I just liked boys things more and preferred their company, their toys and clothes. So even before accident I was labeled as not normal. By the 25 and couple of therapies after discovering severe PTSD which I started to treat I somehow realised my sexuality is not normal, my gender role etc. Shrink told me that I am normal or not normal as anyone else.. going deeper I realised I am pansexual, never saw gender just person. Look at you as a person, try to define yourself as a person, when you are able to that everything else what you want to do will be easier. Try not to feel sorry coz of things you can't change, embrace if you want the ones you can. Just because someone is born as male or female that does not make them real or normal man or woman, I know men who should never be called men and women too, they are not good or nice people. Life is too short to spend it on regretting or overthinking. Instead we just need to be people first, than everything else, I know some trans men, my ex is one of them, who in my book and in my eyes are bigger men and more real men than some cis men. What kind of person you are and how you treat others define real men and men, not a fact were they born with di# or they got it later.. I would rather have a trans men who respects others, who is loving and kind and hardworking for a partner than a cis drinker who goes around act all alpha male, but his is actual jackass and dead beat. Same goes for a trans woman as a partner. Society dictates what is normal, real this or that, and society changes.

Thank you. I'm a cis female and I've always struggled to understand the struggles that transgender people go through after the transition. Not that i have to understand but i like to get an idea as to how others feel. I've had trans friends come over and just cry bc of things that sound small but I'd be there. I have a friend who wishes she could get pregnant but because she's trans she can't so we joke around saying "kids are expensive anyway" and that usually makes her laugh but in the back of my mind I think "why would she want to go through the pain required to have that child like menstruation cycles, the potentially for a miscarriage and further bodily charges?" But I never ask bc I'm scared I may offend her. As a woman who's never questioned my gender, I almost feel like I'm her guide into womanhood bc she asks me so much but I really don't know what to tell her. I do my best to just have her experience what it's like to be one of the girls but when she comes to me I feel like she's primarily asking if it's ok. If it's ok to do or be "like this". Almost as if she's asking for female validation from me. Idk how to explain it but this vid helped me understand why shes so conscious about herself and why she compares herself to other women so hard. I will always be there for her and I love her with everything I have.

Hi Dawn! Wow, I am so impressed! What a great friend you are! She is beyond lucky to have you in her life! I too am mtF, and would have loved to have a friend like you! You are indeed her guide! Something I sorely wish I had years ago. Trans people miss so much in life growing up, it's almost impossible to "catch up", all the little (& big) things we never got to experience, this can leave us feeling very unsure of our selves. We can be pretty sensitive to things, especially in the early year's of transition, but believe me, having someone like you to talk to and be safe with means the world to her! Please don't ever think or feel scared that you might offend her, she might cry or be sad around subjects like in this video, but your understanding and friendship far.. Far... FAR!!! Surpasses any possibility of offense - in fact speaking for my self I could Never be offended by such a lovely friend. Yes I am sure she looks to you for some validation... We didn't have parents / siblings/school/friends/boyfriends/dances etc.that helped validate us as girl's growing up. In fact just the opposite is usually true and this leaves an enormous hole in our psyche. As in the video, being trans is very hard some days, and will be a life long issue, but with great friends like you, life can be wonderful, fulfilling, and full of love! (Its great to be a 👧 girl!)

This is a difficult and important reality to realize and the fact that you've taken the time to attempt to explain this means more than anything. This is something people should talk about more. Recently, a great friend of mine who was in the middle of transitioning with HRT left this world by her own choice because of how difficult it is to go through with something like that. She thought it was all too much and that she'd rather be at peace in death than in life. Each and every one of you should know that this feeling is able to be beaten and you should face it with strength and conviction rather than resignation. Know that you're gonna feel better than you do now if you put in the devotion to being you rather than an image of yourself you prefer.

"You will never be cis gender" Me at 44, first realizing it: "Oh f*ck…". My therapist said those words to me too and I had no clue how to process it at first. Me, starting transition as I near 50, after 5 years of processing and slowly reaching acceptance (while labelling myself as genderqueer or non-binary as I sorted myself out): "Sounds good as long as I never have to pretend to be a cisgender man again…. That’s just pure misery. Haters can just kiss my Amazonian build trans butch *ss. After a half century of faking being cis, I am exhausted and all outta f*cks to give. Sure, being born a cis woman would have been better in theory but I don’t think I would be me anymore either…. Me includes being trans." I think the idea of never being cis hits differently at different ages. As an older trans person, worn out by trying to be cis, I already knew at a very visceral level that I would never be a cis woman but the relief at no longer trying to be a cis man was incredible. My life has never been weirder, true, but it’s also never been happier.

This showed me a completely different perspective. I myself am a cis woman, but as a pan i belong to the LGBT and also have many trans friends. However never have i ever acknowledged, how we cis people don't realize what we have as much as now. Even tho you sorta know that, you never really think about it that much as a cis person. Until you hear that deep harsh reality. Reality that's not just "well yeah, you they won't be able to have kids, but with all those surgeries they'll pass as that gender - happy ending". But it's rarely talked about this issue really into detail that it's not just a person getting surgeries and then it forever fixing their dysphoria, trans people still experience it and will most likely experience it for the rest of their lives. I already felt the "You'll never be cis" and i can't imagine how heart breaking that must be for a trans person hearing that. The more mad I get when I stumble over people trying to debunk trans issues as if being trans, getting surgery, taking hormones that permanently change your voice and many more aspects, is a choice out of wanting attention. Yes there will be always people like that, but none of them would go this far because transitioning as a cis gender would cause dysphoria. Also I think it shouldn't at all be looked at if cis or not, trans person being transgender doesn't make them less of that gender, so society shouldn't force anyone to feel this way about a thing trans people clearly can't achieve and change

Actually the Y-chromosome does very little. It is more of an innitiator of the sex differentiation process towards maleness. Also important for keeping sperm funtional. But that is pretty much it. The physical bit of masculinisation of a foetus is handled by testosterone and anti-mullerian hormone. Have some insensitivity to those and you will come out as something in between in a very physical way. You have the genes to grow boobs, a larger voice box/longer cords (Deeper voice), adams apple (I'm amab and have no apple, my friend is afab and has a huge one, go figure), body hair, hips (Bones are mostly fused after a certain age) but you can still get fat in the right places, fat/water distritution, etc etc, regardless of sex chromosomes. Someone can f.inst inherit their boob genetics from their father. So you get huge knockers just like grandma on your dads side had, instead of the little mounds your mom has. It's just that good ol dad never ran on estrogen but on testosterone so those boobs never developed. So since we are all essentially something in between you can hack your body and make it run in the other mode. Ofc, that junk configuration you ended up with after all that stuff in the womb is hard to entirely change, but stuff happens down there as well in response to hormones. Be ftm and you do get a tiny little thingy complete with head, shaft and foreskin and inside your labia more scrotum like wrinklyness will appear. Fascinating stuff. And ofc the feminine penis. Smells and tastes like girl junk (Like clean junk, not if you got some problem or infection down there), is softer, more delicate and sensitive. It basically turns into a huge clit. And the area between your butthole and junk becomes more puffy and girl like. If you are say immune to testosterone due to wonky receptors then you come out as a girl despite being 46XY. Only non girl part is your gonads that became testes instead of ovaries. But you have a vagina, a womb and all that. You can even get pregnant if you use a donor egg. They are the most feminine of all people since they will never get any masculine features. No little lady stache at 40 since they are immune to androgens. Heck, they found a womb inside a father or four during a hernia operation. He never knew since it did not cause any discomfort or problems. Makes you think how many intersex people there really are.

Damn I did not know it was that hard. I have thought time to time that “perhaps it would be better if I was a boy”, i genuinely thought that my female body was a curse and i hated it. As i grew a bit older - and as I expected - it was just a *phase* of sorts (idk how to word it). All that’s important for me now is that I’m happy being cisgendered, and I don’t want to be a boy anymore. I’ve never spared a thought for those who stuck with it, those who this really affects their lives. I kinda feel guilty for treating it as a phase, and for thinking that for others it was the same too. I know better now (and before I watched this vid tbh). And I know I’m gonna sound like that one European in the chat, but on top of dealing with all the gender malarkey, you have to save up medical funds *just to pay.* I don’t think that’s fair at all, at least some of it should be subsided, smh. I wish you all the best mate!!! [UPDATE: it wasn’t phase, I just didn’t have a way of describing my disconnect with my gender not quite being a girls and rarely ever feeling masc. I am NON-BINARY. Which is cool. Never felt comfortable with being cis, felt like a betrayal even back then I just thought I had to bite the bullet and deal with my reality of being born AFAB]
@rosa_bot75942 жыл бұрын
good on you for figuring the update out! yeah, I can heavily relate to thinking being AMAB was a curse. in a fucked up subconscious way, I saw male privilege as like a shitty consolation prize for not being real people. all the time as a kid I'd be like "if only I were doing this as a girl, that'd make more sense", but then my "rational" mind would be like "actually, you shouldn't want to be a girl because their lives are harder, you're crazy and sexist for thinking this". I could only interpret the deep discomfort with my body as a manifestation of an underlying perversion from a disgusting "male mind". I stripped away my entire personality and replaced it with a robotic series of coping mechanisms in a trenchcoat, becoming distant and disconnected from reality

@@0x6a09 It’s not a case of feeling you look ugly or deformed (the psychological discomfort associated with that is body dysmorphia, not gender dysphoria). Male presenting me looked pretty good when I was in shape… moderately handsome in photos from a few years back…. But it never looked like me. Imagine that a perfectly ordinary stranger who kind of looks like a gender swapped version of you is what you see in the mirror every day and what everyone else sees. Imagine how fake you feel trying to live this familiar stranger’s life, like an actor playing a role… always in character, never allowed to get off the stage…. Never just being you. It does awful things to your mental health. I started transitioning at nearly 50, after decades of suppressed dysphoria eating away at me and you know what happened? Almost everyone who knew me was astonished at how there was a cheerful, motherly woman hiding in the melancholy, bitter man they’d known. My 72 year old retired army officer dad (who was a bit floored by my coming out) was grinning at me just two months later saying he couldn’t remember ever seeing me so constantly happy and that it was a hell of a nice change. I’ll never be cis but you know what? I never was in the first place and trying to be was slowly destroying me. I didn’t choose "to go trans". I just accepted what I always was and decided to try being happy instead of more socially acceptable. I stopped living my life for the benefit of others.

@@0x6a09 Body dysmorphia alone is an obsession with perceived defects or flaws that others cannot see and has no specific link to gender. A BD diagnosis alone will not help you medically transition. In fact, I got misdiagnosed with it initially (anxiety, undiagnosed autism and an old-fashioned therapist who thought of gender as binary = confused therapist) and literally denied a chance to transition in the past. Gender dysphoria’s symptoms and diagnosis criteria all revolve around gender and the sex of the body. I imagine a combined diagnosis could occur for people who get so worried about physically passing that they start seeing flaws in their appearance that simply aren’t there to anyone else but most dysphoric body complaints are reasonable concerns related to passing and social acceptance (including safety). They don’t necessarily go hand in hand since, yes, we can have objectively reasonable concerns about our appearance that are no more psychologically disordered than those of a cis person wanting cosmetic surgery. Not everyone get fixated on single features to the point of disorder.

I started mingling more in queer and trans friendly spaces. Other trans people started seeming more relatable to and attractive, as did NB, genderqueer and fluid folks and some bi and pan cis individuals seem to find trans folks at least as appealing as other cis folks since they tend to be comfortable with human bits in general (and there are the chasers but they creep me out). I ended up dating another trans woman and the way the two of us just understand and are good at avoiding triggering each other’s dysphoria (and reinforcing the euphoria) is something amazing. My advice would be to not sweat the cis gay dudes in particular and look at the broader queer community.
