Dysphoria didn't hit me really hard until about a year ago. It was always there, like I would always daydream about being a girl and I think my dysphoria was the root of a lot of my anxiety. I also crossdressed from a really early age. I sort of repressed a lot of it until october of 2017 where it hit me so hard. I started really despising everything about my body and I realised how much I hated being roped in with boys. I felt awful until I decided to go to the doctor in august and I was diagnosed with Gender identity disorder in october. I'm 19 now and transitioning is going painfully slow but I think at the same time, I'm the closest i've ever been to happy. Thanks Ava for another great video

[@jusdorange4720]

GID is incorrect it is gender dysphoria

[@thethinkingbeing9817]

They changed it from GID to gender dysphoria because it is not a mental disorder. You cannot gain it from traumatic events. You are born with it

[@ARMY2014]

Same, I always dream about being a girl, always dream of becoming female, it is my wish, obvs their is Hormonal Therapy which I love the sound of, I don't hate myself, I hate being a man, I love and prefer a female life, I'd do anything to be a woman, what does this make me

I can’t even imagine the struggle of gender dysphoria. I just feel like I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t wake up every day loving the body I’m in. Of course I have some small insecurities and to someone with gender dysphoria would consider that lucky. So I just have so much respect for you and other transgender women/men because I don’t think I could deal with the complexity of that. But you’re so amazing and strong and I really admire you and your maturity and content.💗💙💗💙💗💙💗

[@corymackenzie-gray4870]

Thank you for this! I love your channel so much and really appreciate your content. I’m FTM and I’m nearly 15, and I’m at at all girls school, so I completely understand how you feel you were pressured to be masculine in the way we’re pressured to be feminine. I think it’s actually worse for trans feminine people in that regard, because of toxic masculinity and the acceptance of masculinity in ‘girls’ over femininity in ‘boys’. Anyway- thank you so much for you content!

[@lucyhartmann2082]

Oh well I think we can agree on that whether you're mtf or ftm you will probably have an equally rough time with society. I don't get why some people are so toxic. I am mtf and didn't start hormones yet (will soon :D). And I have very annoying dark thick facial hair which I also didn't have the time and money to remove yet. So passing get's very hard sometimes and there are people on the street or in the train just randomly "insulting" me as gay person. Wtf? But fortunately most of the time I can take it with humour. So I just think to myself how dumb that poor soul is and how funny that they are actually not so wrong because I am more into girls myself.

[@AMOEDEN888]

Because of misogyny , it can be more difficult as a transitioning female . That said , I know trans males who have struggled because of looking very feminine . For myself I was aware at a very early age and had dysphoria before kindergarten. I was born 1966 so there was no understanding or acceptance of intersexed or transgender people back then. ( at 46 I found out I am also intersexed ) I agree any hair removal is a pain , but on the bright side , having dark hair / complection you can do laser . I on the other hand have the red head gene which prevents me from using laser so it's electrolysis for me , one hair at a time . I do have a Silk'n light pulse machine that slows it way down , but if I stop using it the hair grows back ( face ) yet body hair is not returning ( chest , arms , legs ) it takes time but it actually does work . I'm 52 now and almost at 2 and a half years on HRT. I live in Canada but it took me over 4 years to find a Dr willing to help me transition. I wish you the best on your journey 💜💜💜

[@elleidkhowtogetridofthesur1996]

Oh the mention of that gender-split stuff was right in the feels. 💜💜 I think I probably realised I was trans when I was about 5, but obviously I didn't know what being trans was, so I just said that I was "half boy half girl". I managed to ignore it until I was 11, when I became really dysphoric. And I finally admitted it last year at 14

[@jetsamflotsam4133]

I want to be a boy but this is still super helpful.

[@mparagames]

Dude, if you are really feeling like that, then it's not like you "want" to a boy. In this case, you are _already_ a boy; no matter what people say.

[@coltongoff456]

I hate those field trips that separate girl from boys. I’ve experienced some of those things.

[@marblesoda_bish]

I'm ftm and I had a field trip when I was 13 and the girl's had to sit up in the front of the bus while the boys went to the back. Needless to say I didn't want to but I sat in the front, and when the bus driver saw me, she kept saying boys sit in the back over and over until she grabbed my shirt and told me to sit in the back until my friends steeped in and stopped her.

[@Vearru]

Wow if I were 4 to 6 years younger this would’ve been so helpful, I happen to be 2 years older than you so I missed out on stuff like this but still. Also I kind of had like reverse social dysphoria because I always tried to act more masculine and fit in the the boys because I thought that the best option was conformity. Also I didn’t realize how much social dysphoria I had from that though until I watched this because trying to do that really made me hate myself. I think my main dysphoria even from an early age was body dysphoria though, like I just knew that I wanted to one day get pregnant and have babies, and well I was a child so I didn’t know exactly how to deal with it so I had a combination of thinking I was intersex and hating the body that I had. It was weird. Anyway great video I hope that this helps many trans kids or other trans people. Thank you so much for making these.

[@fawn8347]

My relationship with Dysphoria... hm. For me, it was never a hard-set, I wish I was a girl sort of thing. I grew up, happy with myself, and honestly could have been happy as a feminine-leaning guy. But I always found myself leaning more toward the women in my life over the men, which certainly didn't help that basically the entirety of my dad's side of my family fit into a mold that I just had no desire to fit into. It was really once I had regular access to the internet, and IM apps, that I really felt myself being more and more comfortable with people thinking I was female. I'd even say I saw it as a win when people who only knew me by username referred to me with she/her pronouns, to the point I'd even get uncomfortable with my ex referring to me as he/him within the same group. Dysphoria, in a sense, but because I didn't actively hate myself over it I didn't see it as such. I favored female player characters in games in which that was an option, ever since that was a novel concept for me back in Ruby/Sapphire. The closest I came to finding out on my own was about 4-5 years ago. I'd asked my ex if she could help me pick out some clothes, and I tried them on. I saw myself, moved about in the clothing, and felt *happiness*. I didn't want to let that part of me go; if I didn't have it in my head that I was too old to transition gracefully/I didn't hate myself so there was no way I was *really* trans I probably would have made that self-discovery then and there. As it were, my dad found out, and freaked out, shutting me back in the closet for so long that my ex had to spell it out before I realized it for myself just under half a year ago. Even now, I'm often wondering, am I dysphoric enough? I desperately don't want to be one of the people who go around downplaying the troubles of people who have put themselves in legitimate danger just because of how much they hate their body, because quite frankly my own grievances over my body are minimal at best, just a wish to be about a foot shorter and a strong desire to follow through with electrolysis on my arms, legs, and facial hair. If anything I'm more concerned with the social side of transition, the desire to either look feminine and go by she/her pronouns, or at the very least looking like I'm making that effort to present feminine.

[@PumpkinEyes-fn2ht]

I think part of the self doubt of dysphoria is questioning if you’re dysphoric enough. It’s that way for me, almost like a cycle. I’ve always known that I didn’t feel “correct” when I was a kid, and always questioned why I couldn’t do “traditionally female things”. I naively thought that I was a girl, and people just couldn’t see it yet. Like one day I would just wake up, and everyone would see it. When I was 13, realization set in that I wasn’t a girl after all and that was hard to handle. I did not respond well at all. I didn’t want anyone to know, so I socially isolated myself from all of my friends, potential friends, and family. I found that I was getting easily angry, sad, and frustrated. Around that time I overheard my grandma, aunt, uncle, and father making fun of trans people(didn’t know what trans was at the time) calling trans women slurs and calling them horrible things. It made me feel deeply disturbed. I didn’t want to accept myself, so I didn’t. I did everything I could to try to be the opposite of feminine. I tried to speak in a lower voice(which I regret so much now), walked like a man, behaved like a man, started playing video games that other boys in my grade played. I didn’t want to do these things, but I felt I had no other choice. I thought no one would accept me. This continued through highschool. One of the darkest times of my life. I “faked it until I made it.” I was a “toxic bro” and it made me feel dead inside. I spent all of my free time alone, wishing I could’ve just been a girl. Why couldn’t I just accept that I was born a boy, and be okay with it? I couldn’t focus on school, my future, career path, crushes, anything. It all made me dysphoric. The only way I could cope and survive was to do anything to distract myself. I played so many video games, listened to loud music, and ate tons of junk food until I felt sick. Nothing helped, and somehow I thought that going through all of that was better then telling someone how I felt. It’s been 10 years that I’ve known now. 10 years of wanting one thing, just to have been born a girl. I’m 23 now, and can’t function at all. I can’t hold down a job for long, because I just can’t cope some days, I don’t have my own car, I didn’t go to college, i don’t have any friends, I can’t imagine being in a romantic relationship with anyone(especially intimate)I can’t image myself as an older person. It’s like I can’t imagine a future for myself at all. Its gotten so much worse in the past couple of years. I suffer from panic attacks, and gastrointestinal irritation issues, and an undiagnosed binge eating disorder. I feel so old and gross. It hurts to see myself in the mirror and pictures. I know I need help from a therapist, and I know that it’s possible to manage all of this, at least I hope. I just wish I knew what being transgender was when I was 13, so I could’ve avoided all of this. I just feel like I’ve played this role of a man for so long, that there is no way I could ever see myself as a woman, let alone other people seeing me as one. I just feel so hopeless and defeated at this point, yet I still question if I’m even trans. It’s like, am I really trans and am I dysphoric enough to go through transition? Would people even see me as a woman? It’s such a mountain to climb, and thinking about it all makes me feel so small, hopeless, and just drained.

[@alexandredesmarais3848]

J D I am sorry to hear this but a good solution for you would be psychotherapy to help you feel good enough has a boy to continue with your life without going through the trouble of transitioning.

[@siire]

J D 23 is still young, you should absolutely see someone about this. You literally have your whole life ahead of you, and you deserve to be happy. There’s nothing worth doing that you’re too old for at 23. Reading your comment it seems you’re pretty sure you’re trans, but you should definitely talk to someone to figure it out and get more confident about it. Take it one step at a time and you’ll get there in no time!

I feel like I’m too young to be feeling any of this but I do. I hate how they separate girls and boys in P.E but I can’t say anything because I’ve already started my period and my mom is a single mother. I hate my long hair and chest. I dream about being a boy sometimes and they’re so realistic so when I wake up and look in the mirror I silently cry to myself. And when I say I’m young IM YOUNG. I’m . . . 12. I sometimes think that it’s just my anxiety but watching this I just broke down.

God I relate hard with the gym part. I always ALWAYS wanted to go with the boys and play the games they did. The fun, loud, physical sports. They also listened to heavy metal. All the girls did was tag and games that weren't rough at all and super girly everything. Especially changing in the girls locker room. I'm so glad my highschool now doesn't separate the boys and girls, I wouldve left that class.

[@prismathefur7736]

I can’t afford therapy and thought a lot of my depression and stuff came from other things than being trans but now that I’m finally an adult and able to put my past together and realize all the small things of wanting to play with girls rather than guys, having more of an interest in feminine things, crossdressing, playing female characters in video games over male, and a ton more. I knew I was trans right around puberty but shut all thoughts of it off bc of my parents and how they are bc if I came out trans they’d freak out and take me to therapy as if being trans is the problem rather than helping me with understanding it and stuff. So just in the last few days I’ve been crossdressing a bit more and trying to accept my feminine side that I’ve shut off for so long and I’m so much more happier with myself. It’s not that I hate my body and I prob wouldn’t go threw any life changing surgeries but I’m glad I can finally start working on putting my life back together correctly and address my problems for what they really are rather than blame it on something else and bottle it up. At this point my parents would kick me out if I said anything to them about it so I am waiting till I’m financially ready to move out and get away and begin living my life how I want to and be myself. I just wish I was born a girl rather than guy... it’d just make it so much easier

[@arii9355]

I’m a trans (mtf) teenager w/ transphobic parents. It’s difficult staying in the closet. I can’t socially or physically transition until college at the very least. That’s considering that I even have the funds to afford it bc of America’s shitty healthcare. All I can do is cry and seek support from the few friends I’m out to

[@miniaturejayhawk8702]

This is exactly what disphoria is ! Its not abput hating your body, its about being incapable of of associating with the gender you were assigned at birth or rather associating with the opposite gender. This disaasociation can come in many chapes or formes. I always knew i wasn't like the other boys but never actually thoght of wanting to be a girl. I just never liked being a boy and having to be masculine. But i always ignored the feeling unless someone was trying to associate me with male stereotypes, then i was quite offended or depressed or both. (What i also noticed is that many people who say that you don't need disphoria to be trans actually have disphoria but just don't realise it.)

[@bop7455]

I feel the same way, I sometimes feel like im about to cry when a teacher associates me with "the boys" in my class. I also feel like this with any sort of sexist comment beacause I know that everyone associates me with the boys part of it. But I also have some days where I do, do like to do things more masculine like playing video games all day and skateboarding. But im not sure if this confirms that im not trans. Can any1 relate?

[@charliegriswold1445]

Yes, I prefer to do a lot of masculine things, as well as feminine things, but I want to be a woman, and so that really helped me find out. Think about who you want to be rather than who you act as. And plenty of women do masculine things and still fell they are female. I feel the same as you, but think about what you would like to be if you woke up tomorrow, what sex would you like to be? The only thing that would change is your sex and secondary sex characteristics, and or your perceived gender by the world. This would be irreversible, and your answer likely determines what is happening. Almost every trans person feels this way, and I do too. Remember, this wouldn’t be about curiosity or curing your discomfort with your body that isn’t related to your gender and/or sex. This is just about your body, and no sexual fantasies, as this is permanent. If you would smash a button to do that, then you could very likely be trans.

[@fictionalreality3238]

I live in manitoba and I started my transition during covid. You would think that things would be harder, but it was actually easier because there was no waiting list. Here if you're over 16 you can start hormones without parents permission. I do everything locally because I live over an hour away from the city the trans clinic is in and all of my appointments are over phone and video chat because of the pandemic. I get all my prescriptions and bloodwork done locally and send in any necessary paperwork by mail.

[@ramuneingproductions]

I also hate being labeled as a “she” I despise my curves on my chest and just how feminine I look. I always hated being like super feminine and I always felt comfortable with guys and just how they are and how masculine they are. I see guy video game characters and I always wanted to look like them. I just don’t feel comfortable in my “girl” body. I do like the feminine said with makeup and eye shadow but I LOVE it when it’s on guys and it just makes me uncomfortable with women especially me. But I’m so overwhelmed by questions like no ones gonna like you anymore, no ones gonna be your friend and your parents are going to love you... and I hate it. I’m always just pushing the lgbtq community out of my mind and I put the thought on my head like “no your straight no one will love you if you like the same gender” or “no your a girl that’s how you where made and you can’t change that or else people won’t love you and it sucks and I don’t know what’s wrong because I’m still really young.

[@natesmyid]

my thing is, idk if what im feeling IS dysphoria

[@Gaibreel]

I have gender dysphoria but I love how you brought up social dysphoria. I feel a lot of people went to the gender they identified with and hung around them most. I did for a bit I had male amd female friends but around 5th grade I just was getting this intense jealousy of boys. I have only really only had female friends because when I'm with women I don't get that social dysphoria. Seeing men makes me jealous. Being around them and all and i compare myself. Especially when men talked with other men amd treated me differently. Or even on the beach I'd get this intense feeling like I want to have that body amd it just it's horrible. I would play on the boys soccer team and like it until I was looked down on. Being around men just made me realize they don't treat me like a man and I think that's why I've avoided men. Even at the gym but it's getting better because I'm on hormones so I'm seeing my own changes which is helping me to not feel that intensity. Pre t though.. anyone else feel this way. And yes I watch both women and men transition videos

[@mosslogs7584]

I really started feeling dysphoric and uncomfortable with my female body when I was around 11 but I just assumed I was just pretending and I doubted it and kept it to myself for ages. I only didn’t believe myself was because I ENJOYED wearing skirts, I liked some makeup and I liked ‘girly’ clothes. It was odd, but now I’m almost 13 and I realise that there are males out there who also enjoy wearing skirts and wear makeup and I’ve learned it’s ok to do these things and I’m starting to embrace the fact that I am most likely transgender.

[@lisatucker9963]

I am very impressed by the maturity of these youngsters! You know who you are without a fought and not afraid to express themselves. Good for you. Because you all seem very mature, I am sure that you researched thoroughly before making the transition, I am hoping some of you might assist me in my research so I can help my kid during this process. Can anyone please tell me if it will take away depression? What will adult life look like, say age 35+? Will it be difficult to find love seeing how lesbian find lesbian, gay find gay, straight prefer straight. Is it the same for trans? Being still such a small community, I worry about my kid having trouble finding some one to spend their lives with. No one likes to feel lonely. Also do you think my kid will feel rejected at times, especially as an adult? I don’t want my kid to feel sad throughout life. I hear trans face discrimination when trying to get a job and you need a job to live. Right now I pay my kids way but a day will come when I can no longer do so. I worry about my kid having to live on the street. It’s dangerous on the street a lot of violence. I want to help my kid not feel depressed and it seems transitioning would help but only while living with me. We have to grow up sometime and leave home. It just doesn’t seem like a very bright adulthood. What I have learned in life is that it was much better when I didn’t have to take care of myself and sheltered with my parents protection. Please share any information you all have learned in your research before transition. Oh also did any of you learn anything about future health risks? There must be some, right? Let me know what you know. Should I let my kid transition? Or should I encourage my kid to embrace what was naturally made and be proud of that? At least it would be genuine and true,right? Or is happiness found in living something that in unnatural and fake? Because we all know that surgery has its limits. It’s not like a trans can reproduce. By altering what was to be the opposite seems create, well, I don’t know what. What are your thoughts? Like I said you all seem quite mature and know what’s up. A mature and responsible consumer does their due diligence before investing in any business deal, especially if the matter of business is their own life, am I right? Thanks for your help guys! I look forward to hear back! Oh also, does health insurance make it easy throughout the transition? What can you tell me about after? Anyone have any troubles? I suspect medical bills will be quite costly. I wonder how it will be as an adult? Oh how I wish you all the luck in the world. Your future you, I think, will need it. I admire such courage to take action and transition as such tender age. I just know if it is right for my kid. I know I surely cannot afford it and my kid hasn’t one thin dime so no contribution there. I suppose my kid could get a job and health insurance like the rest us adults and pay for it, the maturity is sure there. Good day

[@boogiemcsploogie]

[@jmstuff6759]

Yeah when I was a kid I always just thought I was a girly boy and I was fine with that. I had all girls friends but then secondary school came in and they all hit female puberty and I felt left out and then I started to hate being male and really desired to be female. I have dysphoria on my face, nose, jaw, hands, feet, hips, my voice, Adam's Apple, hairline, shoulders and my forehead. I have alot of anxiety as well in social activities I also hate it when boys and girls split up cos I have no friends who are boys and I can't act like a boy as well I don't know. When I'm in home I wear wigs cos my school doesn't allow boys to grow their hair so I wear wigs and listen to affirmation subliminals as my only hope to fight dysphoria. And now I'm 16. So that's why i know I'm trans xD

[@mparagames]

Wait your school doesn't let boys to grow hair? That's completely BS from their part. I studied on a catholic school and there were quite a few (cis) boys who had long hair with no issues.

[@julesr395]

As I've come to understand, gender dysphoria can vary from mild to extreme. If it's extreme, the person will let you know, directly or indirectly. My gender dysphoria was mild to begin with which is why I was able to hide it from others and from myself. But I did dress up when I was younger, before really hitting puberty, and when I saw that I looked like a girl, it felt like that's how it should've always been. Of course I stopped and never thought about again, and ran from this part of myself because I was so ashamed. Now I wonder what might have been. I hope to be fully transitioned within 6 to 7 years. I can't continue being as I am. It's the worse.

If I’m not looking in a mirror I imagine myself being a boy. Before showers etc, I cry because I have to be reminded I even have these parts. Is this dysphoria or am I just dumb or something?

[@fawn8347]

Before even answering your question, I can tell you that what you described isn't being dumb. Now, on to answering your question. The best thing I would recommend, is to see if doing things to cover up the female characteristics of your body helps. Find a way to *safely* bind your chest, then put a shirt over it. Fold a sock into your panties to function as a makeshift packer. Cut your hair, if you don't mind shorter hair (take that one with a grain of salt, since that's not as easy to undo). Then look at yourself in the mirror. Do you still hate what you see? If not, that's dysphoria for you; if you do, well, that could very well just be body image issues.

I didn't realize you were Canadian too! Do you have any tips about referrals and such here? I've been referred to the trans health team where I live multiple times but never heard back from them :/

[@avarose4033]

I’m not sure, it’s different based on where you live

[@skylarbaker9919]

I don’t have gender dismorphia but I dream about being a male idol sleeping with myself if that makes sense as if it was his point of view of me sorry if this makes you uncomfortable but does that make me trans

[@billiefan6429]

What do u think about taking control birth pills?

[@ColtAshley]

Very dangerous. Hrt unchecked is very dangerous. Some complications could kill

[@khaij1910]

@@ColtAshley I know , but a lot of people have tried it , even for years . I just wanna take the pills for a month . I can't go to a doctor , and my family is very religious , and I'm desesperate .I can't live like this anymore

[@ColtAshley]

I do know the desperation. I tried the same thing long ago. Not knowing dosage and not knowing blood work is really dangerous. Hrt is a combination of blockers and hormones together, balanced. Unregulated can cause liver failure, blood clotting, kidney damage and lead to serious problems that may cause complications down the road or even may be unable to start regulated hrt because of the liver damage. A month of hrt won't have any feminizing effects. It would fo more harm than good. I know you're desperate, I've been there, but please be careful.

You need to fast forward and start watching the 'Detransitioning ' testimonies of people who realise they where swept up in the trans dialogue.
