#dysphoria?

Anyone else get this sense of bubbling and clawing frustration that you can't have a gender harder?

I'm androgyne already. I can't be more androgyne. But sometimes I feel this need to be androgyne actively in some way, to express it as an action or practice instead of experiencing it passively, but then it's like. And do that how exactly? Gender isn't really something you do outside of things like performance and pronouns, and I don't want to use pronouns that I don't want to use and change the way I dress and behave just to fit the abstract idea of my gender more.

The whole point of it is that it's mine anyway. This is just who I am, it's not a performance.

But still I get this nagging feeling now and again of "I want to have my gender gender extra hard today" motherfucker what does that MEAN. How can I double down on being my own gender when it's literally just me being alive and myself?? And I'm already doing that????? I can't gender harder than I already am, what the fuck do you want from me!!

being a trans man is so surreal

because yeah, it’s liberating and spiritual and beautiful

and then there’s the part of it that gnaws at your bones and hisses and screams at you for not being the woman you were supposed to be

because you could’ve been so pretty, and instead you were yourself, and that’s probably hard to reconcile if you let yourself think on it too much

Do you ever feel like you don't belong ,like your an alien?

I mean I joke about being an alien all the time,hell,my username is that joke

But I genuinely don't feel like I belong here,like I'm a misplaced being on the wrong planet ,I don't understand things and people,and I don't understand why I can't be "human" enough to fit in? Is this normal?

My mind is bigger than my body. My flesh and bones hold nothing to the size and shape of my conscience. I hold no connection, emotionally or physically, to the feeble animal that I see in the mirror. I am so unlike myself, and it is so maddening. I want to rip my soul out of this body that isn’t mine, and then burn it. I want to build a new me, cell by cell, gene by gene, or perhaps I just want my soul to be free, to be able to fly untethered to the mortal realm. Perhaps I don’t know what I want, but it’s certainly not this. Anything but this.

If you are a British/UK citizen, there is currently a petition running (with only 125 signatures) that ends in June 2025. The petition calls for the government to make it so that you do not need a diagnosis of gender dysphoria to change your gender.

If you are a British/UK citizen, and would like to sign:

If you're not a British/ UK citizen it'd be much appreciated if you could share this post !! :)

This is Jim Sinclair, at the time going by Toby. They are a neuter, asexual and intersex enban, and a seminal autism activist. They have been an educator on transneutral nonbinary identity, non-binary transition, the anti binarist position and intersex issues for decades. This is an interview with them from the 1980s, talking about their experience as a non-binary/genderqueer person at a time where the community was just coming together.

"In a 1997 introduction to the Intersex Society of North America, Sinclair wrote, "I remain openly and proudly neuter, both physically and socially."

Nonbinary people have always existed, and will always exist. Happy Trans History Week! 💛🤍💜🖤

fuck. i need to be tatted and pierced up. or maybe put down idk

[existennialmemes]

It's been said before but I'm saying it again: being mentally ill and very self aware of it is extremely annoying because it's like:

My Brain: You are worthless and everyone is making fun of you.

Me: Uhh, no? I just had an extremely minor, low stakes misunderstanding, and everyone was very cool about it. It's fine. No need to panic.

My Brain: [immediately dousing itself in cortisol] You don't get to decide that. Now I'm cancelling all of the dopamine and serotonin. You can just sit there and think about your unforgivable error.

Me: Wildly unnecessary, but ok I guess

[burntblueberrywaffles]

Bestie I can feel rejected by things you wouldn’t even think of

[hubris-i]

Now that I've come out online and to my siblings I feel like i'm coming down off the high of breaking my egg and a nagging voice is telling me, "you just did that for clout, you just wanted attention, you're really just a fat hairy cis man who wanted to feel special for a day and now you've trapped yourself into cosplaying as trans"

And it's just, who is right? The voice that said, "do it! you've been carrying this feeling of otherness for years and you've finally identified it so it's time to release that into the world", or the one that says, "you're a big dumb idiot, put that down, it doesn't belong to you and you had no right to claim it"?

Aaaaugh this sucks
