HI,

As the title suggests, I really only have body dysphoria, I really don't feel all that strong a need to be "treated like a woman." Part of this might just be due to the fact that aside from being an eagle scout pretty much nothing that makes me "me" requires me to be either specific gender. Frankly I wonder if this might have been part of a coping mechanism I came up with.

I want a female body, breasts, and female genitalia, but I'd want everyone to still interact with me the same way they do now. Has anyone been in a similar boat and transitioned? How did it go?

Ever since my T-bomb went off I've had this fear that I might be on a sweet spot of the trans* spectrum where the GID is strong enough to cause me real problems, but not so strong that transitioning wouldn't make things worse. Has anyone else dealt with this sort of thing?

I seem to be in that spot myself, but it may just be temporary.

I believe I'm binary M2F, but I'm strangely happy where I am right now. I've had some bad body dysphoria in the past, but my body's getting quite female and I'm on quite a high dose of HRT.

I'm not sure if I want people to treat me male or not. They do because I present male, and I've no problem with it. I don't know why its not a problem. Perhaps it will change later or I'm non-binary. I sure don't like hiding all the time though. I'm not sure how I'll go with years of that ahead. It would be easier if I breasts were a lot smaller, but I'd prefer them a bit larger.

I'm perfectly happy to get SRS without social transition, as a way of keeping a lid on things. Also because I want to, so why not.
