My gender dysphoria never really caused me a problem before. I never took too much notice. Even when I hit puberty, it wasnt a horror, more of a "oh what the F is this crap...bummer..." However lately it is worsening to the point where I cant really handle it. I know I wont be able to get top surgery or even start T for quite a while cuz my parents are extremely unsupportive so Im not sure how to handle everything. Advice? Ill be talking to my therapist tomorrow (probably about this).

I wish I knew, man. I've just recently come to the realization that I don't like being in the body of my birth gender, or living under the expectations of such. My family doesn't really know what's up with me, but I know they're not accepting of me asserting myself as an individual in any way. I am their slave, and that is all. Yeah. But anyway, I'm finding that my tolerance level for living as a female is rapidly decreasing. And since I'm pretty much stuck with it for the time being, until I lose a great deal of weight, I'm feeling irritated and restless. And for me, there's not much new territory left to cover. I've always worn all mens' clothes including mens' underwear and have always shaved my head. What's new left to cover? Not much other than not shaving my legs which don't grow hardly any hair anyways. And I wore some aftershave out yesterday just for the smell, to read even more as a man. But it's no real difference to me, because unless you're as thin as Paris Hilton and have long blonde hair, people tend to read you as male anyway.

It sounds stupid, but you can use your imagination. Obviously that's not going to change your physical body, but even surgery won't get you the perfect male body. Nor will HRT. Either of those will only take you so far. You have to find something else to pull your through and there's only so many options. You could find a way to accept how you are and get comfortable with that in the time you have until you take steps to alter your physical appearance further. You can use your imagination to help deal in much the same way. It's not a perfect solution but until you get cozy with some realities it might get you by.
