I think the grass is greener but I don't care, I'd switch sexes even if it put me at a social disadvantage, because at least I'd be able to live with myself.

You can't switch sex. Nobody can or ever has. Fucking up the only body you'll ever have will NOT make you happier. If you can't live with yourself then you need help not butchery

But there's no help for this. And I don't think I can live with butchery and pretend either. The only cure is death.

Dude, you need psychiatric help. Professional psychiatric help. There are non wokes out there. If you spot one that's woke, immediately cancel the appointment or make a stance that you will not change genders

All your problems are based on self loathing. Fixing that self loathing should also make the dysphoria go away.

Although not dysphoria, i hated nyself. My doc told me that "if you're stuck with someone for life on a journey, isn't it better to make them your best friend instead of constantly fighting? You will have a smoother trip accepting that other person instead of constantly arguing and sabotaging them. That other person is you. You have to accept yourself, because you're the only one going to be there for the rest of your life."

This whole transistioning shit is another example of rejecting or running away from that self. I think a lot of dysphoria comes with the conflict with this inner self too.

I do loathe myself, but if that were the cause it wouldn't have existed before I loathed myself, I could try to be a different male, and I'd be worried about the social role rather than the biological.

But I am beyond accepting myself at this pojnt anyway. And if you live according to the flesh you will die.

Okay. If we're going to go down the Christian route of debate, then equating 'accepting yourself = living with the flesh' is a misquotation.

Isn't the obsession of death a desire of the flesh itself? Because the will of the Spirit is life, and the desire to live fruitfully while blessing and loving others. But how can you love others like yourself if you can't love yourself to begin with? That is also contrary to the will of God. The Spirit wants to love you, but you're not allowing yourself to be loved by hating yourself.

When I say "death" I mean only death of the flesh, because 99% of people can only understand human terms.

Very true. I hope Vulptex is able to find one of the few brave psychologists that are still willing to treat dysphoria with standard psychiatric care. Despite the misinfo spread by trans activists, standard cognitive behavioral therapy reduces suicide risk more than hormones and gender surgery (partly because those interventions actually have only small benefits in terms of suicide risk). It's also cheaper and safer with no risk of permanent harm.
