What triggers your Gender Dysphoria?

[Sinead]

Just curious what triggers your Gender Dysphoria?

For me, it's seeing other females, I die inside when I see a trans woman (because I still present male ) and when I get associated with males, or anything about being male

I had very similar experiences, thankfully those triggers have been mostly alleviated since going full time. Now it's mostly just babies and sex that triggers it.

Going to therapy to get the surgery triggered mines to the 100th degree when I had it all under control. But therapist opened the Pandora's box

Bikinis are a big one for me.

Also, it's women who have some aspect of their lives that is what I want/wanted in my life. If I see a woman with the same type of job, and a clothing style similar to what I want for myself, that can really set me off.

But it's gotten 1000% better since I started hrt.

I'm going to be brutally honest here. Morning wood causes me to get depressed and nearly cry most mornings, forcing me to lay in bed until it goes away. It's more than just that honestly, but that is the biggie out of all of them.

I use to have that problem when I was a teen n the first time I bust a nut (orgasm aka wet dream ) I remember waking up screaming n my mom came in the room and wiped me n said it was natural. I had to be like 14-15. Annually I would hate for that once a year wet dream to occur.

Seeing myself in the mirror after a shower.  Seeing my receded hairline.  Feeling stubble on my face.  A bulge in the wrong place.  It's pretty much only the physical stuff that's left now.  The hairline is a goner.  Working on the stubble.  Aiming for dealing with the bulge eventually.

Several things, but the very worst for me is erections. Some trans girls seem to do okay with that, but I can get pretty worked up over it sometimes. To me it is the worst sensation, followed closely by seeing or touching it.

Same here! I have lost a lot of sleep over the years trying get up early enough to prevent it.

Getting dressed in the morning. I see what I wear and know how I want to dress. I wear skinny jeans and lace panties but want to go out in a spring dress and be myself. So I sit and wallow in misery.

I want to ask the trans women bout the erection  issue. Is it that bad that you are still a virgin or it was not at that level of dysphoria

My body hair, beard shadow, larger frame/upper body, and angular facial features

I wouldn't say I get triggered, but I get more of an ache or longing. If you think of a dog that whines when he sees a treat he can't have - yea, that's me!

Seeing girls walking around 100% comfortable in their gender is what does it for me. Particularly if they are dressed nice with clothes that fit well. So around 3/4 of all girls.

My body doesn't give me any strong dysphoria right now since I've lost a lot of weight and I'm starting to see curves, albeit boy curves. But at least now my waist is noticeably smaller than my hips and chest (appearance wise) and is no longer a rectangle from my knees to my armpits. So I'm focusing on that and not the other stuff. Trying to be positive.

For me I just put up with it. It's nothing to do with me, what I am or how I feel inside. It happens automatically whether I will it or not. I think of it like the digestive system or a sneeze. It will happen and I have no control over it, so no point in worrying about it. Of course I'd rather it not have it, but at the same time I'm not horrified at the sight or feel of it.

As for virginity, suffice to say I'm not. Though I've only ever had one girlfriend ( I was with her during my teens when I was very much trying to masculinise myself as much as possible), since her I don't think I've ever looked at another girl in a sexual way. More of a 'I want to build and emotional bond with' sort of way. In a romantic way still of course but never a 'I want to have sex with you as soon as possible' kind of way. And not had a girlfriend since my first, sex or no sex.

Dysphoria hits me in all of the ways mentioned to some degree or another.

I've been on HRT for about ten years and lasered off my beard, so I took care of several major triggers, but I'm not full time. I'm more of a 20is looking 40 year old due to the HRT and lack of facial hair.

When I see my wife or woman dressed in my style of clothes or my dream hair and makeup, dysphoria hits me.

I hate the unexpected erection, because I freak out wondering what my hormone levels are, if my T is too high, or Estrogen too low, and I'm still months away from my next doctor appointment and lab work. Yikes!

Also, the desire for transgender friends sort of weighs on me, because it's a little odd hanging out with the guys, because I don't relate very well, and I can't really hang out with the girls, because I'm married, not out, and it's probably not socially acceptable.

Sex.

I like it, but have one hell of a complex there. I have to be stuck like a crack addict on someone to be able to ignore my "issues" and get on with it.

I used to hate the morning wood but now do not experience it due to age and being on HRT.

My main triggers are:

1. Seeing a shapely woman and being so jealous of her curves
2. Seeing myself in the mirror
3. Not being perceived or treated as a woman and hence the need to constantly act as a man which is so depressing.

The biggest thing that hits me like a brick out of the blue can be watching tv, ive been watching the adverts on a number of times and just see me as the stunning girls one ad after the next... then it hits me. End up removing myself from the situation and everyone around me, go lie down in bed while my head just sinks.

If i see ppl out its not to bad but its the unexpexcted moments that really catch me off guard

This is my entire life babe.

3. Not being perceived or treated as a woman and hence the need to constantly act as a man which is so depressing.

I can relate to this in a way. I'm fully out on social media, profile picture n'all, but I still get misgendered, drives me insane, feels like people do it on purpose

[TiffanyRye]

any sort of stubble is a huge one for me. I am getting lazer hair removal but it hasn't taken yet. It used to be my voice but I worked insanly hard at it to the point now where I am even called Ma'am on the phone...

Let me tell ya it was hilarious screwing around with telemarketers/creditors looking for my old self ha ha
