Transgender Flag

I saw a list of 10 ways to explain gender dysphoria, here’s a few of them

You’re washing dishes and you touch wet food
A dog died in a movie
The feeling when you walk into the wrong classroom
Someone makes fun of the way you laugh
Food poisoning

Oh wow that's rough

Yeah, it is ;-;

general discomfort
like how echo described, but x100

That's pretty horrible

Feeling like you would soooooooooooo much rather be a girl/boy and not liking your body :/ happens a lot

Makes sense

Am I allowed to answer this..?
I've been trans before

Yeah sure

For me its like an anxiety mixed with foreboding dread and an urge to like hurt myself and um im getting better dont worry but its like a sense that no one sees you for who you really are and your only one thing that you where born with and its really hard

Im non binary so its very hard because it isnt really recognized be most people

Oh, uh you need a hug?

um yes please

(Gives hug)

Ty

Gender dysphoria how I’d describe is like a harsh discomfort with your body. It’s like looking in a mirror and wanting to cry 😶

Oof

Biggie oof. But when you start getting closer to aligning with the gender you actually are, then that feeling starts getting alleviated over time. And different people experience Gender dysphoria in different degrees. It’s not the same for everyone but ya

Ok that's good

It can feel like ambiguous confusion and a sense that something isn't quite right but you just can't put your finger on it or it can feel like you're trapped in the body of a monster stuck in a living nightmare that's worse than the nightmares while you're asleep all stuck in one long dissociative spiral to the bottom of a dark put that never ends. Or it could be anything in between. You generally feel like you're living in someone else's body and being expected to live their life. You're split in two with an inside and outside part that do not form a single whole but two parts.

If it's ok with you may I ask a few more questions?

Sure!

First of all what is your gender/ sexuality?

I'm an sapphic queerplatonic woman. In case you aren't familiar, queerplatonic implies that I'm asexual. And I'm not lesbian, if I was I would have just said that. I'm emotionally attracted to women, but not physically because I'm physically attracted to men, just not interested in being with a man or having sex. I'm also biromantic, but it's only in the context of a queerplatonic relationship with a woman (which doesn't exactly fit the traditional definition of romance) or in a traditional heterosexual romantic relationship with a man, which I'm not interested in. Men are hot, looking at them males me feel good, that's as far as it goes. I just naturally get along with women and completely understand queerplatonic relationships with them. Romance with men is amazing, but it feels like I'm following cookbook instructions to make the relationship work. I understand women and need someone who shows affection and love how women typically do.
