This will forever be one of my favorite panels from a manga ever. It's been my phone wallpaper for at least a year.

When I first read it, it hit me so hard cause I knew EXACTLY the emotions being depicted here. Emotions people who don't experience gender dysphoria ever will. And I've never and still have never seen a manga or anime show them so directly like this.

I remember that before I had top surgery I was in so much mental pain from my chest I wanted rip my chest off. I wanted to rip apart my skin because I felt that my true body was hiding underneath. I wasn't meant to be living in a body that looked the way it did.

That emotion right there perfectly encapsulates the pain I felt. He's clawing himself out of his outer skin and being emerging as the true self that was always there lying in wait.
