Thank you all for continuing to share your struggles and perspectives.  I am deeply honored that you all have responded with such honestly and never thought a thread I started would ever get this much attention.  I wish I could take everyone's pain, confusion, rejection and everything else away. Heck even if I could sacrifice myself someway to ensure the happiness of every trans person both alive today and every one in the future I would. I so strongly dislike seeing discrimination and ignorance and lack of understanding that I might even say I hate it and I try not to hate anything. There are a couple ways I know I can help. The first being continuing to help as many people as possible on here (whoever will listen), another is get into some higher position where I can have an effect on more people to help alleviate ignorance on the subject.  A third way would be to get really smart and find a way to change people's physicalities to  whatever they wanted.

I could do all three which is probably what I will do. Also I have no reason why I decided to go on this,  what is probably seen as strange, rambling.  I guess the feelings of gratitude were too high or something.

Anyway,  if anyone on here would like to share their story with me feel free to PM me. I will do whatever it takes to help in any way I can.

Be well, all of you

And with deepest love,

Samantha

Making change is slow and you probably accomplish a lot just in the way you live your life and how you talk. "Get[ting] really smart" and finding physical transition solutions would be super awesome too, though. ;D

Mine started out so subtly that i never really knew it was there until i was a teen. Then it took off! Whenever I was alone i would get severe depression and stomach aches. I could almost never look into a mirror and look at the male me for long. Finally it got to the point i couldn't sleep without a sleep aid and I was driving myself crazy untill I told mom and a gender health counsiler and they helped me get started! :)

It's both social and internal.

I'm both angry and depressed that my body isn't what it should be. I hate my chest, my hips, my voice when it goes up high, my genitals and reproductive system, etc. I tried to accept what I have in my pants, but since T, that's gone out of the window and I feel disconnected from those parts again (except for my penis but I'm still mad that it's not a cis male penis). I have started considering bottom surgery and thinking that I could be happy with that if it turned out well, even a phalloplasty. This is somewhat surprising to me since I was set against it for awhile. I'm feeling more and more that I want all those female organs out of me. They're useless to me, anyway, since I never want to get pregnant (how horrifying!) or go off T. There's also the insecurity over it because of what I'm not able to offer to any potential sexual partners. I want to be the top, but using a strap-on seems like a cheap trade-off since I can't feel it. So I am starting to consider phalloplasty more...

Socially, I hate getting called female pronouns and being reminded in any way that I have a female body. It makes me angry. I try not to get mad at people because of it. I hide how I feel about it, but it hurts. Thankfully this will be stopping because of T! A stranger on the bus called me he yesterday and I know it's a little thing but I was so happy because of it.

So, basically, I experience dysphoria as anger, depression, disconnect, self-hatred and insecurity.

I have similar problems with my body to what you mentioned, but your distillation of the resulting feelings states the issue really well.
