What Gender Dysphoria Feels Like, For Those Who Don't Experience It

(From my experience only. Not accurate for all trans people.)

-

At its best, it is a dull, mental tingling. You know something is not quite right. You know your own identity, and you notice the annoyances this body brings you, but you carry on.

At its usual, it’s an anxiety producer. You’re more aware of you’re own feminine features, and the things about your body you feel don’t fit you; You’re more aware of your voice, and dislike how it makes others view you. Mornings may see a little heavier, having to wake up and face your own body in the shower, or in the bathroom mirror. Hearing people refer to you as “she” is still an annoyance, but you brush it off. You don’t like looking at yourself, but you can. You’re able to see past the dysphoria and accept yourself. At mid-day the limits you put on your body start to make you ache. You think maybe you should take your binder off for a bit, but doing so could potentially cause a panic attack. You let yourself be physically uncomfortable, so you can be more mentally comfortable.

At its worst, seeing your own body makes you want to cry. You do nothing but lay in a pile of heavy comforters - fully clothed so you don’t have to feel the curves of your own body. Hearing someone regard you as “she”, or your birth name, fills you with discomfort and unease, sometimes to the point of nausea. You can’t look in the mirror without wanting to cut your own skin off - remake your body into something more tolerable. This frustration towards ones own body may cause the urge for them to self-harm. Even slightly tight fitting, or feminine clothes cause anxiety to the point where you won’t leave your home.

Dysphoria is not simply the wish to be another gender. It is not a trend; it is not a fight against social standards. Gender dysphoria is a psychological battle between who you are on the inside, and how others perceive you on the outside. It can produce anger, anxiety, nausea, depression. Dysphoria is painful. It isn’t something I’m happy to be going through, but I go through it, regardless. I hope people get better educated about gender dysphoria, within the next few years, so we - as a society - can actually start treating trans people like people. - Adrian Loya 🖤

Fact #597: Being physically dysphoric doesn’t always mean hating your body. Sometimes the feeling is more that of a disconnect rather than hatred. And sometimes it is something other still. Every person is different, everyone experiences their feelings differently, so of course there are many different ways to experience dysphoria. And all of them are equally real and valid.

a poem on dysphoria

roses are red im still pre-t if i get misgendered again i might fucking scream

[dakotaaaryan-blog]

reasons i want top surgery

so i can go swimming again so i can actually wear the clothes i like so i can go outside in summer without completely overheating so i can take my top off so i can be more comfortable in intimate relationships so i can pass more so i’m less embarrassed about my body so i don’t have to crush myself in a binder every day (and night) so i can look at my body in the mirror and begin to recognise myself so my dysphoria can leave so i can start to feel happy and comfortable in my own skin
