This is not going to be easy.

I believe there are two possibilities. Either you’re a regular GNC tras guy, and there’s nothing wrong with that, trust me.

Or you’re a cis girl with body dysmorphia caused by this or that and confused about your feelings.

My advice? Give it time Calmly try to sort your feelings out. Talk to friends and (if possible) to a therapist. Analyze your childhood if you can remember enough, probe your memories. Did you have signs of being uncomfortable with your sex then? This could be extremely important.

Stay strong. And best of luck to you. I trust you to make a right decision eventually.

I identified as genderqueer for a couple years before I realized that I'm an androgyne (or bigender, if you prefer). I was never stereotypically girly, but I like flow-y clothing (peasant tops, those poncho sweater things that are in right now, bell bottoms...), crop tops, leggings ... And when my dysphoria is really bad and I wear these, I want to crawl out of my skin. I finally realized that it was because I felt fake. Like, here is this person who says that are trans, being female, and wearing "girl clothes".

I'm still trying to internalize that clothes don't determine your gender. Presentation doesn't determine your gender.

That would fly if feminism were some solidified movement with one singular goal. But it isn’t. It’s no different from any other religion with countless denominations. Depending on what corner of the movement you’re looking at, they want very different things. Some of those things are abhorrent and I denounce them. But I don’t denounce the movement as a whole.

It’s why I can’t sit there and call feminism a hate movement. There’s also the fact that a lot of people who call themselves feminist are just your average people who, when they hear Feminism, think of equality. So they call themselves feminists. I don’t have a problem with that. Are you going to tell me those people are of a hate movement? What of people like Christina H. Sommers?

Some people are under the abelist assumption that having a medical condition (be it physical, neurological, or mental) is bad and means that there is something fundamentally “wrong” with trans people, therefore in their eyes, it is wrong to say that transgender/sexualism is a medical condition. Some also seem to be under the impression that dysphoria is equivalent to self hatred and others still confuse transgender/sexualism with gender non conformity. 

When they made Harry Potter they should have used real wizards as actors. Actors should only play roles that line up with their real life, so they don’t actually need to do any acting. This is how it works…yes?

I feel like it would be harder to use a real pre t kid. Tbh. Just a lot more to take into consideration. (Like triggering them for example)

I feel pretty similarly nowadays. When I first came out I felt a lot of ‘euphoria’, but basically all that means is that I was relieved I found what I had been looking for and that I felt more comfortable. “Gender Euphoria” (which in my opinion is the shittiest excuse for an explanation of transgender people I’ve heard) is simply relief. 

Generally, I go around thinking I’m male. I don’t feel happy when someone calls me my name or pronouns. It’s just normal. I don’t even notice it. But when someone misgenders me, I notice it immediately because it’s incorrect and surprises me. 

For people who have been out for a while and passing, this is usually the case. Gender is not something that we have to think about on a regular basis, we just live our lives like normal people. This does not support the ‘euphoria’ concept. 

“Gender Euphoria” does not make a person trans. 

Breaking news: definitions still exist, gender, aesthetics, and personality still are not the same things.

“Sex isn’t even real :)))”

Yes!

Axigender- When a person experiences two genders that sit on opposite ends of an axis, one being agender and the other being any other gender; these genders are experienced one at a time with no overlapping and with very short transition time.

To help create this year’s lineup of Soft Toys for Education, global retailer Ikea turned to crayon-wielding kids around the world. The 10 winning entries have been recreated in loving detail by Ikea’s toy designers, and the creations are now on sale as part of the chain’s annual fundraiser.

Since launching the charity effort in 2003, the Ikea Foundation has donated more than $90 million to global children’s causes.

This is for all the people thinking they might be trans out there, because Tumblr feeds you a steaming crock of shit on this subject, and y'all need to have both eyes open before you do ANYTHING.

As a semi-open trans person, I get my share of people coming to me telling me they think they want to transition. My question is always, why? Transitioning is hard. Being trans is hard. There’s literally NOTHING that is easier about being trans than being cis. It is, without exception, harder. Going to the doctor’s is harder. Dating is harder. Legal issues, harder. Living arrangements, harder. It’s a pain in the ass. For some people, a very small number, all of this is worth it, because they just cannot live in the body they were born with.

Now with Tumblr and overzealous gender activism, there’s a whole lot of people realizing gender roles are not for them. Fine. Great. Buck those trends, more power to you. But there is a dangerous phenomenon of people saying they’re trans because they don’t like the stereotypes they think they’re supposed to follow. That is in itself upholding strict gender roles, for one; for two, it’s kind of disrespectful to actual trans people by equating your desire to be edgy or different with dysphoria, which is a serious medical condition; for three, you are setting yourself up for an immense world of hurt if you transition when you’re not actually trans, because it WILL catch up with you, and you WILL be miserable, and it will be extremely difficult to undo.

Some people start transitioning and decide it’s not for them. Ok. What I say to that is, it happens, thank God you realized it before you went too far. But PLEASE, take this to heart. Physically changing your body, whether surgically or chemically, is an extremely serious matter. If you even remotely suspect you’re going to change your mind, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO IT. This is not to say you won’t have doubts after you’ve started, you probably will. Probably every trans person has had at least one moment when they’ve asked themselves if it was worth all the pain. But that’s why you have to be that much surer at the beginning, because you have to know that, when those doubts surface, you’re going to still know it was the right choice. Surgery is not a change of clothes. If you don’t like how your breasts look, bind them, it’s temporary and cheap and effective. Hormones are not haircuts. Some changes are reversible; many are not. If anyone tells you people go on hormones “just for a little bit,” run away. That is the worst fucking advice I have ever heard. You can’t control or predict the changes. You have to be ok with all of them. If you’re not, you shouldn’t be transitioning, period. You can’t go on T temporarily to just masculinize yourself a little. You’ll be stuck in pubescent limbo, and there’s no way to know when to stop. If this is your reasoning, you really, really need to ask yourself what your motivations are here. This is not a game or a fashion accessory. You are literally changing the chemical make-up of your body. If you cannot grasp what that means, you are not ready to transition. For your own sake (not to mention the trans people who are tired of being associated with this type of person), do not do it. Trust me on this if on nothing else, you will be miserable if you transition without understanding this.

There has been a lot of railing against the medical “gatekeeping” around transition, making you wait, making you see a psychologist, etc., but it is absolutely in your best interest, especially for teenagers. Take a step back from Tumblr’s nonsense invectives about the psychology of gender and gender roles and social conditioning, because they have no idea what they’re talking about 99% of the time and you should absolutely not base your decision to permanently alter your body on what someone with a url like killallstraightwhitecismenscum thinks after skimming a Judith Butler book in Intro to Soc.
