What I did was to pick a letter, write it in a lot of different ways until I found one that didn't make me feel bad and started using it and maybe in a week or two my brain was almost used to write it the new and nicer way.

I'm in my mid 30's and just coming to understand that what I've been feeling all of my life is dysphoria. It was confirmed for me when I went out on a date with a coworker that I like and...when he told me I was beautiful and held my hand, I just felt...devastated. Like, being seen as woman in his eyes made me feel wretched. It helped connect the dots to a lot of other incidents. Like the time I was in a friend's bridal party, and had to wear a dress; when I saw a picture of myself afterwards, and I looked SO female...cue a mental breakdown that landed me in a hospital. And all the awful shopping trips and women's clothes. And after puberty, the depression that hit hard. Looking back, it was because my body had (quickly) become obviously female. The running from any kind of intimate relationship because I felt that even existing was lying. I haven't had the language to connect the dots until the past two years. And tonight I have to tell the guy I'm seeing that...hey, the person you think I am is not real. Should be fun. UGgghhhhhhh. I'm so nervous I feel like I'm going to barf.

I feel like it's important to mention that some trans folk don't get dysphoria at all. For example, in the case of non binary people like myself, I don't feel necessarily dysphoric about my body. However, I experience gender euphoria for things that make me feel or look more androgynous. Gender euphoria is just as valid as gender dysphoria.

[@ashdoesstuff5544]

Thank you so much. I experience more euphoria than dysphoria, so I often question. I feel euphoric about binding my chest, my hair, presenting more masculine, but I only experience slight dysphoria. I could wear bras instead of binders, but Id rather not, bc i like how flat my chest feels and looks.

And give them some more gender accepting language to address their classes with. So they stop say “Ladies and gentlemen” because I know plenty of kid in the school who are NEITHER, me included. Few examples for any teachers out there: General: Students, people, humans, children, folks, ext. Science: scientists (all I have for now...) Language arts: Writers, readers, (all I have for now) Math: Mathmatitions (sorry can’t spell, also all I have for now) Art: Artists, painters, sculptors, ext. PE: gymnasts, runners, athletes, ext. And there are more classes but, this is a lot... (I write books but this is a lot?) My presentation is March 8th so maybe next year I’ll do this for other schools as my high school community project.

lightningmcgee queen, well kind of... a teacher emailed my parents (I didn’t even tell this teacher) I wasn’t ready to tell the yet, but I was forced to anyway, they yelled at me, a lot. But I didn’t really expect anything else from them, honestly the whole family is only ever yelling... then they ignored it, and pretend nothing ever happened. So I brought it up again, well I wrote a letter kind of this and left it at my parents door before I went to school. Then when I got home I was told that my mom’s sister died, so... I was ignored again... Although this time she said she’d try, but not right then because her sister had died. I haven’t brought it up with my parents again after that, but I did talk to my siblings, my sister is really the only one who is actually trying, and I’m glad she is. So yeah I guess I’m out, but some people in my family don’t care, and others are very unhappy about it, and then theirs my sister. I’m glad I have her, but she and I never really got along, just like the rest of my family...

Skylar, your best bet is to lead the conversation away from what is causing dysphoria. E.g. if your friend brings up how his hands are too small or her body hair is too thick, a hug (or other show of friendly support, my guy friends would rather punch each other in the arm), affirmation of their gender (doesn't make them any less of a man/woman), and then talk about an upcoming event or a shared hobby.

When I look in the mirror with my shirt off, it doesn’t feel like I’m looking at myself. I feel like it’s not my skin. I feel like it doesn’t belong to me, like I’m expecting something else.

I feel weird because it doesn’t seem right, like my brain expects to see something else. Every. Single. Time. I get this feeling over pronouns, name, body. I still don’t know if that’s dysphoria. I always expect to look different when I do (like, every time I look in the mirror before showering, my brain always tells me that this time I’ll no longer have a big chest of small waist. It feels wrong, but it mostly feels like I’m looking at someone else and not me.) is that dysphoria? I mean I’ve bought a binder in hopes to fix this feeling. I still don’t know. (Doesn’t help that I’m 14 and everyone tells me that it’s just me being uncomfortable with my body because I’m still growing) idk. I also experience getting so happy, too happy, when I get called a boy or shit like that, since I’ve cut my hair. It feels so good to be male.

[@artificialcolourzeee4647]

[@catpoke9557]

For me I'm confused about my gender because when I see my body, it DOES feel like my body, but the thing is... I feel like I interpret my body differently than others. They call certain body parts things I don't interpret them as. I know objectively what I'm looking at in the mirror, but it doesn't feel like it's truly what I'm looking at. But.. I also don't really care if I'm referred to as she or not. I hate being called a woman, lady, ma'am, or miss.. love being called 'sir..' I think I'm neutral, if not just ever so slightly uncomfortable, with being called 'girl.' Neutral toward being called he/him. And if someone calls me a man or a boy, it doesn't gross me out like with woman or lady, but it feels like I'd be... lying to them? By letting them think that? Well, more like if I told them I was a boy, I feel like I'D be lying to them. And if they tell someone else I am, I'd be lying to the person they're telling it to by letting them say that. I can't tell if I just hate my body and being called a woman reminds me of it, or if I'm trans and my mind just won't let me view myself as male (or nb) due to I guess internalized transphobia and that's why I don't get gender euphoria. The ONLY gender euphoria I get is being called sir. That feels great.

[@user-wv5ue7ny6u]

I honestly don't know if I have dysphoria. I don't exactly feel feminine in the way people see me, but also not masculine.

My hands feel a bit to tiny sometimes but I'm really comfortable with my body :/. I'd like to be called "He" AND "She" at the same time but it's a bit hard and tiring to say and explain. I think the worst part is that, on the gender spectrum, it changes really REALLY quickly. I the same week I can feel full girl/boy/NB, half boy half girl ect... And because I'm still a teenager (don't judge me to quickly please) it's even harder to make people understand and accept who I am (I haven't came out to my parents yet -_-).

I've struggled with mental health issues along with gender dysphoria for almost 4 years. I'm only 16 and my mom won't listen to any of my concerns or let me talk about starting treatment in any way saying "we can't be moving too fast and too suddenly" or saying "we need to get you mentally stable before we worry about anything else," which I completely understand. The only issue is, a lot of my depressive episodes are linked to being dysphoric and feeling like nothing will ever happen, leaving me stuck in the body I feel like I don't belong in. How should I deal with this? I've told her several times that my depression is linked with me being trans but she always seems to disregard it and continue in talking to doctors trying to see if this is all a result of me being depressed. I know in her heart she doesn't mean to make me feel invalidated but I can't help it when she's constantly researching ways that I could be messed up that causes me to THINK I'm trans. Either way, I need help! I want to start finally living full time as male but don't know how to approach it because of this. It would be very helpful to hear from you Jamie, thank you💛

[@allistair5304]

I understand. I've been out for a little over a year now, but my parents still don't want me talking about my pronouns in public. I also have depression, and I agree that dysphoria can feel like a downward spiral. As hard as it seems, your best bet might be to talk it out with your mom.

I have recently realized I am genderfluid, born female, and my hips and thighs really bother me when I identify as male. Mirrors are also a huge problem. I don't want to wear makeup, but my Rosacea is SO bad I feel like I need it. However, I am tall and have broad shoulders and a fairly strong jawline, so I try to focus on those traits when the others upset me. Sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn't.

[@ilizhof]

I am in my thirties now and have dealt with this feeling nearly my whole life, starting around age 4. I spent a lot of my childhood pretending to be a boy, playing sports with the boys, and idolizing my dad and older brother growing up. I recently quit drinking and this issue has become a huge focal point of my life as I’ve gained some mental clarity on things I need to work on in my life. I don’t necessarily feel transgender, but I have always had a general hatred towards my female body, mainly with my breasts and torso. It’s been a lifelong battle, full of loneliness and sadness. I hope I can work thru this, finally.

[@ode4126]

This is probably gonna get lost but I'm trying anyways.. I am SO CONFUSED over my gender and I don't know what to do. I was assigned female at birth, and I can't remember it bothering me much in my childhood or teenage years. I always hated "princess" themed things, pink and glitter and all that stuff, but being a "girl" never was a problem for me until my young adult years (I'm 20). I get weirded out when I'm called "she" and a "girl", but only some times. I get happy when people call me "he" (I present kinda masculine), but only some times. I want to have a flat chest, but only some times, and for long periods of time I am okay with my breasts. The things that consistently disturb me and make me uncomfortable are my period and the fact that I could technically get pregnant even if I would never want to do that ever. Has anyone ever lived something like that, and how did you figure yourself out? (Also side note, please don't call me a trender or anything, I literally never talk about it and do not call myself trans and I know people have it wayyy harder than me. I repress it most of the time for those reasons but I do think it's kinda unhealthy at this point)

[@rayshiotile9487]

in the same boat here but from the other side. while i can't say I've figured myself out i'm making progress for the longest time it felt like there were two of me one who was okay with being male with some one else sharing my body who wanted to be female she only came out when i was lonely when i had my thoughts to myself. a few years ago the distinction between my "2 selves" broke-apart and now i find it harder and harder to cope but i've re-examined myself and i think that i never actually liked being male i just put up with it and finally after all these years i can't fight the feelings i shoved to the back of my mind any more. think about if you actually like being a girl or if your simply okay with it it's entirely possible that you don't hate being a girl simply because you feel like you shouldn't and are holding back your real feelings.

[@ode4126]

@@rayshiotile9487 i'm super happy that you're figuring it out!!:) and yeah i do think it's more of a "well it's not the worse" situation than me actually liking being this gender, but i'm so terrified of letting myself explore something else.. thanks for your answer

Dysphoria doesn't necessarily come all at once, for me especially it was very slowly manifesting itself. Although, I realized I was trans when I was like 11, so before I really got dysphoria from anything except clothes. I'd leave it for a while and see how you think of yourself in a year or so, then decide who you are when you feel ready.

Oh my gosh, this came up at a funny time. My mom has been telling me how she just doesn’t get why I’m so focused on “this gender thing” and “she never had to think about gender” and “why are you so focused on the name thing!” It’s so frustrating! I tell her it’s legit because I have gender dysphoria, I was diagnosed and everything and she just is like “but IIIIII never had to think about it!” And I’m like yeah, because you’re cis. Cis people rarely ever think about their gender! She also recently has been sharing how weird and “unnecessary” social media is. Like I bring up one bad thing about social media and she’s on my case about how she never had this stuff when she was a kid and people didn’t need to share everything they’re doing and blah blah blah. Like yeah, people don’t need to share everything they do, but if people want to it doesn’t hurt anybody, especially not her!

I get a lot of dysphoria because of my hair, since 3 years ago that I have to cut it really often and most of the time even with my hair being really short I feel the need to hide it with a beanie (even on summer when it's 41°C outside). It's really frustrating and a lot of times I've had the impulse to just buzz everything off. The same thing with my face, and it's really weird. I've never thought that my face looks feminine or girly, but at the same time I know that my face is one of the main reason that I get misgendered everyday, so sometimes at my worst moments I have even thought of harming my face to, I don't know, change my features and look differently. A lot of times I have thought that it would be better if I just cover my face in scars or something and the urge to cut my skin is huge. I'm glad that I haven't done anything harmful but damn, I would do anything to change that.

Maybe wearing male accessories like those chunky biker rings could help? Or dunking them in a bowl of warm/hot water to make the veins pop out... Filling down your nails to make them really short... This one might be weird but cracking your thumb? Cause you have to stretch it out and for some reason it might help. Any sort of manual work could make your hands a bit rougher too...

I get dysphoria about my face, my hair, my inability to grow a beard, my hips, my chest (but basically only when wearing masc clothing because I'm mad they don't naturally fit me like they would someone with a flat chest), that bit of chub that estrogen makes you store on your stomach no matter how skinny you are, she/her pronouns and my name when written but not when I hear them out loud, feminine compliments like being called "pretty" from someone who I know thinks of me as a girl, among other things.

[@chodpants]

Hi Jamie... I have been following you in KZbin and also Instagram and I want too whole heartedly thank you sooo much for all of your videos they have helped me too fully understand how I feel on the inside. Also helped me feel no sooo alone and I feel your videos normalise transgender which I think is muchly needed. I have struggled my whole life with gender and sexuality it’s been really confusing. Also I turned too so many destructive behaviours with drugs eating sex relationships etc etc anything to distract myself from the feelings. Also the shame and guilt I feel around it also and not knowing how friends or family will respond either... I am 39 years old now and have started hormones and have yet too still tell certain people but am still terrified. When I come out at 16 as a lesbian it didn’t go down so well... So I ended up saying I was straight it was a phase then bi then tri then gender fluid then none binary because the fear I felt telling them I’m trans was too much to bear.. Even tho my who,e childhood I kept stating I was a boy and got labelled Tom boy which I didn’t understand when I was small I just thought oh that’s my nickname... Life over the next few months going to be different and challenging cuz I have children and I just don’t even know where to start with that.. I have friends in the lgbtq community but I am the only transgender person so I feel like I don’t have anyone to relate or chat with during this time. So watching your videos helps me feel not sooo alone... So thank you! I think your amazing human being your girlfriend is lovely and thank you for sharing your story with the world xx

What’s weird about dysphoria for some people is that when you add or remove a specific physical attribute you have can help beat dysphoria a bit.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who experiences this.
