In My Opinion

How do people cope with gender dysphoria? I’m currently at a family gathering with people saying “you’re a big girl now”, “you look like your mother”- I’m almost in tears.

Anonymous asked: I don't think it's stupid. That's something you feel really strong about, I understand. Well hopefully things will be better eventually

Thanks, it’ll probably get a little better when I’m out of school and I can introduce myself to new people as I really am. It’s just because most people wouldn’t understand and I know they don’t mean it but it still makes me feel degraded, I’m not being sexist and saying that it’s shameful to be a woman but they’re calling me something that I’m not…

Anonymous asked: Oh so you want people to be able to see you as a male, but they refer to you as a 'she'

Yeah, it probably seems stupid to some people but I cried for 3 hours last night…

Basically, I’m transgender ( I’m a boy but my body is female) and I want other people to see me as a boy as well. It’s usually when people call me ‘she’ that I get upset because I know I’m not seen as who I am. I also get uncomfortable about my body, like a lot of people do but in my case it’s more extreme. Just imagine waking up as the opposite sex, it would feel weird wouldn’t it? Hope this helped you understand.

You mean my gender dysphoria?
