Gender dysphoria 😞

That means nothing at all. WHY do you want to be a woman? Because I can tell you exactly why I want to be a man. Are you just a porn-addicted autogynephile?

I don't look at porn. I never have. I'd want to turn female for the same reason you'd actually hate being male. It does not matter if society treats one better than the other, you would never forgive your body for not being suited for you. Every little detail is just WRONG and you don't like it. Heck even cognitive changes are disturbing and make you miserable. Imagine if that dread you had starting puberty turned out to be right, and lasted FOREVER. That's far worse torture than any discrimination our current society can give you. You can always overcome others' judgemental attitudes and social norms, but you can never escape this.

I don't look at porn. I never have.

Not even porn with zero real people involved, like drawings or words on a screen? Then you have bigger issues to think about. Hyper-puritan household, I assume?

No. I do live with a rather puritan parent, but I also genuinely find sex disgusting. I don't like to see people naked either. Before you say I'm "internalizing" it, let me say that I'm super into bondage and frequently illustrate myself in it. I'll show you the proof, I'm not lying:

It's not like I don't know how to find porn when no one is looking. I don't find it arousing, at all.

You need to look inside and find out why you find sex disgusting. Sometimes all it takes is 1) courage; 2) being honest with yourself.

These drawings aren't so bad, did you make them yourself?

It's not like I don't know how to find porn when no one is looking. I don't find it arousing, at all. I also don't like the idea of sticking one of the grossest parts of my body into one of the grossest parts of someone else's body. I don't like touching people in general, let alone like that. I also think romantic "love" is cheesy and cliche and delusional, and I don't see the point of restricting love to one single person. People only did it in the past because that's the only kind of life society and the state would tolerate, and in recent times because Disney.

Well, you have issues, but I bet you're aware of it.

I don't think that's an issue.

I did draw those. Neither of them are done.
