DYSPHORIA

I’m there with you. I genuinely don’t care about being male or female but I like and would like to go full femme or whatever when I feel like it. People are just ignorant.

Hi Elisa. I to am dysphoric, I to know what gender I am. I know what gender I want to be. If it were acceptable to just enough of the people closest to me I would present as a woman and want to be treated as one for 80 to 95% of the time.

Why does it have to be only one way or the other? Sometimes I feel like I want to live as a female and other times I want to live as a male. It would be great if we could just decide which one we wanted to be and present each morning when we woke up and no one would care.

The people that you love ever talked to them in manner without giving away to much. Never know they may accept you as yourself and true nature.

This sounds similar to how I feel. I would definitely go more feminine  physically if it wouldn’t affect my everyday life.
my marriage is the most important aspect to me. My wife has been very supportive and encouraging but she has lines I will not cross. I respect her on that.

That how my parents felt when told them about my choices. At first they got upset then after talking they supported my change.  Said would miss the son but said you be gaining a daughter and still be the son.

Sometimes I can feel dysphoric in both directions at once. Gender...Pluto

I feel much the same girlfriend I used to feel that I would never change my life I just loved to wear women's clothing when I had a chance I've always been a heterosexual.! But I'm older and have been alone half my life due to health issues I nearly died, for the latest time in February So I decided to dress as often as I feel like it I even get dolled up when my nurse and my VA provided home health aide comes They love it and are very cool My nurse and I have been to a high class salon and got makeovers together She brings me makeup and skin care items and I have given her high quality parfums twice since March

I proudly raise my hand.

I want to be a woman beyond the words I know how to write. I don't hate being a man at all.

Spending all of the last 50 years as a frustrated alpha male gets awfully old. I just feel better about life and myself as a woman. I consider myself the oldest 13 year old girl on the planet.

Love and hugs to all. You especially, Donna,

Hi Elisa, I went full time four months ago and feel similar to you in that I don't hate my male side or resent the body I was born in. I have struggled at points, especially when it came to getting rid of my male clothing. At this point Stevie Steiner told me, we don't lose our male our male sides it just doesn't get the last say. I still know everything he taught me and love similar things to him. He'll always be around, but I can't see him going out any time soon. I'm still  a wind-up merchant, especially at work, love inuendos, am far too loud sometimes and have a decent competitive streak. All things I got from Chris. I just look a lot prettier now.

Love Trisha

Ps Stevie if you read this you are an absolute angel.

I can fully relate to your post. That is how I usually feel. If I could wakeup fully female I would in a heart beat. Then I am also afraid I might miss myself. I also know many in my life would suddenly be absent. I guess that makes me a little confused

Totally get that,as im unsure what gender i am? Most days i present as a female but do have days as a man and im totally unsure what i prefer some days 😌

No, you are definitely not alone.

I’m working hard at finding a place in my life where who I was can exist peacefully with who I’m becoming, and perhaps even a stronger and more whole human being.

Well said and I agree same here.
