Do you realize you're telling me I don't know my own woes?

No I didn't realise that.

It's almost easier to just deal with what I have now than to turn into a mangled mess.

A lot of people end up making that call. But the dysphoria itself is stronger in some transexuals than others.

What motivates you to hang out on a basically trans-hating website?

Hahaha, you were trying to tell a gender dysphoric person how things were and got owned. How does anyone not know Vulpie?

He's (?) incorrect about transitioning not "working", if working means improving mental health.

But transitioning means living as your gender. Reassignment surgery doesn't have great outcomes for sexual function.

How does anyone not know Vulpie?

There's 8 billion people in the world. In round numbers about 8 billion of them haven't heard of vulpie, because they're not as globally famous as you claim.

How can you live as a gender you can't be?

It helps if you pass. That means controlling estrogens and androgens while going through puberty, so it's difficult to retrofit.

But people do the best they can. If you live around people like the ones on saidit, they will present problems that maybe you don't want to deal with. But many places most people will get the idea.

Passing might help cement a denial of reality by convincing others of it, but it won't get my mind back or free me of much dysphoria or fix anything internal.

What do you mean by "get my mind back"?

[–]Vulptex 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I can't think or feel right ever since puberty.

Was that the start of your dysphoria?

No, but it certainly got a lot worse as sex characteristics developed. And I think this itself might be one of those.
