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"?

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.
