Yeah I get dysphoria. But not as badly as some guys get. I only want my breasts gone and sadly they're on the bigger side so binding wouldn't help. Having no "man parts" doesn't bother me though


It gets pretty annoying when I walk into a store with my mom and the worker calls us "ladies"...I just hide in my cowboy hat and pretend I didn't hear it

I'm exactly the same way, big breasts and everything. Sure, it would be nice if I had a penis but I don't really care. And my period isn't that big of a deal for me, it's just a nuisance.

I can agree with many here that say it gets worse as transition progresses, but there are certain times when it's hardly there at all.

Although thankfully they are now few and far between, those times I am forced for whatever reason to crossdress (ie, wear men's clothes) really bring it on bad. It goes back to what I have identified as the number one trigger for my dysphoria- feeling utterly trapped in a male existence with no hope of escape. I will be unbelievably glad to get finished with SRS because until that time I don't think I will ever feel truly complete.
Girls rule, boys drool.
If I keep a green bough in my heart, then the singing bird will come.

Yep I get it, although it wasn't bad at first, but it seems to be getting worse these days...

I'm not that worried by what I have down there though, I would love a penis but I don't think I want bottom surgery.

Boobs and periods affect me worse, they truly disgust me. I have issue with my hips too and my voice. The other stuff doesn't affect me much.
