Spoiler 1 minute ago, Theory said: is it one of those "you'll know" things? No not really. It's not a constant thing and it's not very easy to just know what's going on or whatever. It's hard to recognize if something is dysphoria or not because it's easy to doubt it.

I guess, though, I would still doubt even if given a perfect explanation. Soo....yeah. Well, .. ok wtaver my exccuses and dbouts ar repated and whatver i jjst ned to ..yeah
Aeoryi she/her Posted January 16 Posted January 16 1 minute ago, Theory said: my point exactly. I guess, though, I would still doubt even if given a perfect explanation. Soo....yeah. The truth is that dysphoria differs between individuals and it's hard to set a universal bar for it. That's why the criteria for dysphoria tend to be very broad and aren't hard to meet. Someone once told me that wanting dysphoria is a form of dysphoria itself, for example. There are some things that are easy to recognize, like the fact that I hate my voice, but some things are harder to recognize. 1

Depression will cause hiding and having a more hunched posture. Also, autism will either cause someone to be very slouched and with rounded shoulders or make you very stiff. Given the link between gender dysphoria and gender incongruence and autism, that can also have an effect on body posture.

I switch between slouched/forward head and a rigid/stiff posture and I also have an asymmetrical posture sometimes as well.

Akimikoisthecutest Posted January 16 Posted January 16 So uh, funny story. So today was our class birthday party for this semester. (It's the last day of our semester) We often have a giant buffet, and the birthday people get to go first. Then the best behaving students. So they called all the behaving boys to come get your stuff and I didn't get up, and just stayed absorbed in what I was doing (EGG_IRL), and my teacher cleared his throat and when I still didn't get up he came over and was like what the heck are you doing on your computer, and he saw it was EGG_IRL and said nothing else, he just walked away. 5

He probably just thought you were looking at "social media" or something, right? Or did he seem to recognize it or anything? Also...pay attention in class hehe.

It was on my school computer, so I can't access social media on it, so I don't know what he thought. Also yeah, none of my teachers know I'm trans 1

Usseewa ✾ She♡Her ✾ Posted January 16 Posted January 16 (edited) Any questions to help a questioner? Stuff like the Button ig. @Hmmm lies Edit: I'm talking about myself if that wasn't clear.

Hmmm lies she/her Posted January 16 Posted January 16 1 hour ago, Theory said: Any questions to help a questioner? Stuff like the Button ig. Uh lemme think... A good question to ask is "why do I want to be a girl." If the answer is "I'd be happier" or "It just seems better," that's pretty trans. 4

If the answer is "I'd be happier" or "It just seems better," that's pretty trans. Anything else? Or anything I can do to explore my gender identity/if I'm trans? Because I think what you said would basically be my answer to your question. Also I'm bored and I wanna talk to yall but ur not rlly online atm Edited January 16 by Theory
