Please help me understand….

I think Putaringonit defined it pretty well. For some folks, that kind of language is triggering. The one thing I’ve learned about the internet is to not get invested in online drama.

I get it, but I am a little harder to offend. Someone saying I was born a male I’m thinking okay I was but why in the heck does that matter to you? I’m gonna do what I need to anyway. But I’m also like why do you care? We all deserve to be whatever we need to be and call ourselves whatever we need to to be happy. I won’t stand in any persons way of happiness. I identify as a “androgyne” so for me that doesn’t bother me. I still have a masculine side and I want to look in the mirror and see something that is at least androgynous to female appearing. I HATE looking in the mirror and appearing masculine. My main issue is physical dysphoria not social dysphoria so much….weird huh?

If you're OK with it, then there's nothing to say. Someone that knows doesn't have to convince others and I mean this with anything. I find social media just an outlet for people's desire to reinforce what they believe that in their hearts there's some doubt and that if we can just get someone to agree we'll feel better about ourselves and our beliefs. It becomes a trap for us and then we wonder why there's so much contention. When we know ourselves a lot of other stuff stops mattering.

Not weird at all. I feel the same as you. My main dysphoria was physical, not social.
Speaking for myself, I knew what I needed to do. It did take me a long time before I came to understand myself, but once I accepted myself, it all became clear to me. I needed GCS and since the moment I woke up from surgery, my dysphoria went away and never returned.
As for the social aspects of transition, I am not overly concerned with "passing" as female. I hardly ever wear make up. I usually dress androgynously (shorts and t-shirt). Feminine affactations are mostly a product of the society we live in, which is just not what I need to be concerned with. I am myself and I am happy as I wish to be.
I am fully aware that others may have a different opinion. If you do, then good for you. I am happy just being myself as I am.
ChrissyRyan:
I want to appear my true gender, and I want to be accepted as female in all ways. Those who are understanding do, regardless how I am dressed. I am Chrissy to them. I do try to be out as myself.
I dress androgynously (shorts, pants, t-shirt, unisex clothes) when I have some concerns about my appearance where I will be at, rather than presenting as my male birth sex. My birth gender is female, my true gender is female. The body parts and socialization was wrong for me.
I just want to blend in, be accepted as me, and live a nice life as me. I do like to hear “her”, “she”, and be addressed Chrissy. I do not get upset when those pronouns are not used though. Disappointed sometimes.
