#trans dysphoria

man I hate my meat suit so much sometimes. it’s so clumsy, it’s legs get so sore sometimes, it’s lungs can’t handle long strenuous exercise or even a brisk run/jog, it’s senses are both too strong and too weak… it doesn’t even look like how I’m supposed to look. it’s got boobs (no hate to boobs I’m just not supposed to have them (plus trans dysphoria goes brrrr)), it has the wrong ears, it has no fur or feathers or scales, it has the wrong shape and size… ugh.

is this what physical alterhumans think of when they think of their human body (talking specifically about non delusional physical alterhumans (no hate to them, I just don’t experience delusions so I can’t relate to them))?? I’m thinking I may be a physical nonhuman, but I know I have a human body, I just don’t identify with it at all, not on any level shape or form. it’s like having to wear a costume all the time—it’s not who I am, even though it’s how I appear to others. idk though!! physical alterhumans, please help! /nf

Something, I just realised that really resonated with me about Gwen in Across Spiderverse, is her clothing.

When around non-spiderfolk adults and at home she wears loose fitting clothing which seems androgynous and hides the shape of her body.

But, when with Miles and her spider friends, she dresses in tight clothing. She’s clearly comfortable with her body when around friends but she seems to feel the need to hide her figure around people outside her friend group.

Similarly, I struggle with my body and didn’t wear shorts or tight fitting clothing for many years because I had problems with how masculine my legs and torso looked due to body hair and my wide shoulders.

These traits caused much dysphoria until I made more accepting friends when I became more comfortable with wearing shorts, tight tops, jeans and even leggings. My dysphoria became less severe around them because I knew they saw me as a girl. I even realised that some of my features were rather feminine like the shape of my legs and hips (though I don’t have curves) so I started empathising them making me appear more feminine and womanly. My shoulders are also not broad compared to most men and it bacame obvious my dysphoria had been exaggerating certain features.

Whilst at home though, or out with family, I wear baggy clothing which, whilst isn’t masculine, hides my shape so no one can tell my sex because I’m scared of my family’s reaction to seeing me in feminine clothing. Simultaneously, I feel less comfortable because I know they will always see me as a boy.

I know many cis girls and boys, especially in their teens. have body image issues and feel more comfortable showing their figure around friends but, to me, Gwen’s choice of outfits, and how they shape her, is very trans. A lot of cis girls (not all) will still dress fem around family but just not in clothes which emphasise their shape but Gwen chooses to dress androgynously around her dad and is more comfortable showing her shape around friends. Of course, it is her choice how she dresses but there’s a definite contrast between her clothes around friends and her clothes around her dad.

This is just a reading and I don’t know how intended it was but I thought it was a cool and fun approach which I found in this video. (Apologies the link can’t be copied here for some unknown reason so here’s a screenshot.) They cover a lot of readings of the film involving queer theory, race theory and comic history.

Also can we just appreciate how cool Gwen looks in every scene. The gender envy is so strong. <3

trans memes bc im bored and dysphoric

One of the most "imposter syndrome" things about me is that I am a trans girl who never wanted or cared about "girl toys." Everybody says I was supposed to want Barbies and whatever, but all I wanted were Transformers and Legos. In fact, that's an excuse my mom gave for arguing with me about whether I was always a girl or not. (I was.)

Like, the fact that I find dress-up dolls and hairbrushes and horses and crap boring as hell is a source of conflict to me. It makes me feel like a "fake" girl. Which I know is stupid, but so are most feelings. Even now, in terms of the media I consume and even the things I write, I tend to shy away from the "for girls" stuff. Yes, I'm a lesbian who doesn't like shoujo. Press F.

This New Year’s party I’m going to try something new

And that is not treating myself in feminine

I’m done with pretending I’m something I’m not and I no longer care if my family thinks “I’m to young to know” and all the other bs I’ve been said over the past 5 years, whether they like it or not, I’m going to start 2024 being myself

Not the “daughter” “sister” “granddaughter” “niece” they think I am

Wish me luck I guess

HOPE ALL OF YOU BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME SOULS HAVE THE BEST YEAR EVER!!!

And I hope that someday my family is able to accept and love me as much as they love her….
