Gender dysphoria is most certainly a source of stress for me, and quite likely for many of our members. Though the linked article here is not directed at transfolk, it is well worth considering.

Yeah, healthy foods aren't going to relieve stress for me. Its got to be pizza, liver and onions, lasagna, sketti or cheeseburger and fries. Sometimes, just candy will do it.

I am reviving this topic with some updated material
Top 10 Foods for Stress Relief (http://www.foodnetwork.com/healthy_eating/top-10-foods-for-stress-relief/pictures/index.html)
Slide show
List
Avocado and banana - high in potassium
Tea - herbals are especially good
Swiss chard - magnesium helps balance out cortisol
Fish - especially those rich in omega-3 fatty acids
Whole wheat pretzels - carbs will boost serotonin
Carrots - the crunchiness helps relieve stress
Milk - B and D vitamins, calcium, and protein ease muscle stress
Yogurt - similar to milk
Tree nuts - almonds, pistachios, and walnuts help boost the immune system
Chocolate - dark is best
