Does it really get better?

But if it happens --- "It doesn't really get better" not then, for the time when you loose it. Grrrr

i don't understand?

If you get angry with folks for them NOT getting your being transsexual --- like I did in the early days of transition, THAT makes nothing any better.
Neither for you, nor for them.

Makes sense? :-)

I got very angry with my grand-daughters mother because she kept telling, my being trans would corrupt the girl of 5, I'm not allowed to see her.
No explanation EVERY reached her. Nothing. So we may get angry... right?
Did it help - any? NO

Did it get any better? NO

I won't lie to you it won't make EVERYTHING better and it will cause alot of problems but it will remove your gender dysphora. It will make your life better by however much GID makes your life worse.

yes it get's better. Being trans is like being a politician. You are always being judged, but if you are even tempered and politely state your case over and over without fatigue then people will accept you.

In practice I struggle because i'm super fiery.

I couldn't tell

I'm sorry about your grand daughter.

You'll feel closer to who you really are on the inside so yes it does get better as you go through transition.

I've had the same thing on my mind recently being out and about with my cis- friends. Had a huge dysphoria attack last night that was made was worse when people asked me "You look sad, what's wrong?" Heck no I'm not talking to a stranger about my trans issues, especially when still presenting male.

Just wanted to say that reading all of these posts helped. It's not an instant change, but taking steps forward will eventually get there. I'd like to put in a quote by the philosopher Albert Camus that helps me sometimes when I'm thinking about how hard it will be. It helps me focus on the end, the invincible summer without GID:

In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer.
