@ariadotwav This was me - I didn’t recognize it was dysphoria I was dealing with until after I started transitioning and realizing how much better about myself I felt😅 I also thought dysphoria was only an existential dread not necessarily just feeling meh about yourself, which was me too
@illegallyftm Well i was in catholic school in texas in 2007 so i didnt know you could be trans so i pushed down the feeling of wanting to be a girl to cope for many years even past when I did eventually learn about trans people
