subtle differences set up to function with sexual characteristics, at least that's all I can think of causing it.

What does this mean? Can you elaborate please?

It's impossible. It would be like trying to explain colors to a colorblind person. In fact I bet you've never seen red-green or blue-yellow, and can't imagine them. But cross your eyes and get red and green or yellow and blue to overlap and you'll see it, something entirely new and unimaginable until now.

What I can assure you though is it's got everything to do with biology and nothing at all with "gender" however they're defining it today. It's also not normal at all to despise your sex characteristics; a little dread before puberty is typical, but it should not be persisting into adulthood at which point 99.9999% of people have embraced it. There are functional differences, it makes sense that a properly developing person has inclinations to match those functions, even though they're hardly noticeable in 3rd person. I can't stand how this feels, since puberty I can barely even think, and even before then I thought way too much about how it felt being the other sex. It was explicitly not social; I actually tried to rationalize it as wanting to stay the same gender, just with the body of the other one. Of course now I know that's all there is to being a certain gender, which took me way too long to figure out. But you won't ever get a trans activist to admit that, because they're too devoted to the "social construct" and anyone with dysphoria is transphobic to them for not pretending sex doesn't exist. What's even the point of this social construct? Just plain sexism? They don't even know, because this whole thing started as usual by sabotaging a troubled group and making into a wokeness competition, and like I said of course they can't understand it.

I would probably need a period of adjustment myself, but afterwards would be a lot better. There's also detrans people who gave themselves dysphoria by transitioning because of a fad.

You're right, it is very hard for me to understand.

How do you think being the other sex feels? Like, if I think about being a man I imagine I'd be Conor McGregor and beat up my annoying neighbors. I actually have a list of people I'd beat up. And I'd work in construction or smth. Stuff like that.

Yeah that's the difference, most people never think about it, and if they do it's usually sexual objectification. If I asked any guy what he'd do if he were a woman he'd say something like play with his breasts. That sounds really dumb to me, and doesn't he realize that would lose its appeal? You already mentioned what you would do if you swapped. But if it were me I would do...nothing different. I just wouldn't have to deal with this body anymore, and I'd be in a much better spot to do what I'm already trying to do.

FYI there are some women who work in construction. And please don't beat up your neighbors.
