Gender Dysphoria

I'm sitting here trying to relax and my head is pounding and I feel like I'm losing the fight against my gender dysphoria. I saw myself in the mirror in my bathroom and I panicked. I sat back down on the couch and Pauley asked if I needed help and I said I am struggling with my dysphoria. She got me a shirt and I am struggling with my hair so she's trying to help me deal with it. I just feel so awful. I'm gonna try to relax. But right now I'm in some serious pain. My tummy is not handling my dysphoria well at all.

Of course, I am not an expert, even though I am diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria, So I looked into multiple sources to give this week's tip.

The tip of the week. Try to understand what you are feeling. Don't deny the feelings. Don't try to ignore them. I tried to ignore the feelings for years and its only come back, but worse. Gender Dysphoria is not a comfortable thing, but ignoring it is never the answer.

Next week I will give tips for the other topic that won the vote (See the 21/1/25 or 1/21/25 Tuesday question to see what the other topic ). And if you have any questions about this week's tip, please comment down below. I will try to answer them as best as I can.

Its Tuesday. And the poll has ended. As with the results of the poll, I will start posting tips on Gender Dysphoria and tips for dealing with side effects of testosterone and estrogen first few months.

I will start after this question is posted. Todays question. Would you rather read a book, or watch a movie/show. If you want to answer, why?

I would rather read a book. Sure, I like a lot of Movies and shows, but reading is more calming for me.

Thank you to everyone who voted! And thanks everyone who joined!

Tw//// slight Transphobia and Homophobia

(Words with **___** around them are words that would have been in caps, I just don't like to use them.)

So, I've been talking about my male guardian lately in my posts that aren't related to my LGBTQ group. This should be my last one, I just want to get this off my chest.

So, this happened a while ago, before I had this app, I was trying to explain to my Male guardian why I wanted to be address as a male. (We've had multiple conversations about this) and I was trying to be open minded the whole time. It didn't seem my male guardian was though.

He kept turning the blame on me saying "well how do you think **I** would feel?". Like um, okay I can think about it, but you're not thinking about how this is making **me** feel. The whole conversation was me trying to get him to understand, and him trying to play victim.

One of the times we had the conversation, He used the "But I had visions. I was going to walk you down to get you married off. I was going to be there when your first child was born." thing.

Sure, I was thinking about how he would feel, but like 1. I was still willing to let him be at my wedding; I don't have to be a girl for him to do that. But when he said get me married off, I completely changed my mind about even wanting him there. It just felt uncomfortable when he said that. and 2. I won't ever have children. I have a phobia of them so that would not make a good life for a kid. And I would never want one to suffer.

I'm not trying to play victim here, I just wish my male guardian would try to understand. He was not very supportive of my past 2 relationships, both with people of the same gender.

So, when he said he'd try to do better, I was very excited. But literally like all he did was allow me to buy a trans pride flag. he didn't buy me one, he just let me press order and then give him the money for it. Like oh. Thanks dad. And I'm not really allowed to have it outside of my room.

And you could say he just needs time. I've been out to him for about 5 years now. I've been patient. I've never forced things on him. I just needed to get this off my chest. I will continue to give him time to try to understand. I won't give up on him yet. I just wish I could have my gender validated more than it is now.

Well, thank you for reading and maybe even commenting.

We did it. Its Friday. I know right now, I don't have any members in my group, but I still want to try to post daily here.

What's one thing this week that brought you joy? It can be something small, or something big. Whatever you want to share. I'll go first.

One thing that brought me joy this week is my dog. She's finally beginning to learn how to play fetch which is amazing. She is a working dog who does so much for my community.

Now it's your turn. But remember, you don't need to answer. These questions are always optional. And remember, you don't just have to be under the trans and non-binary umbrellas to answer. You can be an ally or know someone who is as well.

For those who answer, thank you for reading and answering.

Edit: Thank you to the three people who joined the group today.

Slight vent////

////

So, as people who have read past posts of mine know, I have social anxiety. Pretty bad social anxiety at that. I was diagnosed at the age of 4. I've talked about my fear of big crowds and of people with my parents before. While my youngest brother was listening.

Normally, I wouldn't have thought much about it. But an incident at Mcdonalds one day made me regret talking about it when he was around.

We were at Mcdonalds, and this one happened to have a play place. My other brother, the middle child, wanted to play there and at first, my youngest brother did as well. But the second my youngest brother saw how many people were in there, he freaked.

The thing is this has never happened before. My youngest brother is always the first to want to go into the place. Sure, you might think he might have social anxiety as well, but he hasn't done anything like that ever since. He started complaining that 'oh there are too many people in there' though that has never bothered him before, and 'oh I want to go home'.

Kid even started crying. My other brother was so mad when my male guardian, the only one with us as my mom was at work, said he couldn't go in and took us home.

And who got in trouble for my youngest brothers little fit? Me. I did. When we got home my male guardian looked at me and asked me why I had spoken about my fears. Like excuse me? Because you're my father and you should know how I feel? He told me not to talk about it in front of my little brother again because apparently it was my fault that he acted that way because I hadn't known my brother was listening to our conversations.

Thats not the only time something like that has happened. I've also told my parents about my gender dysphoria and how I felt more like a guy, youngest brother was listening, claimed to be a trans girl once (I know he's not now as he keeps talking about how he's a boy and doesn't want to be a girl) and again, guess who got in trouble for simply talking about it. Me. The look my male guardian gave me made me feel bad I told him about my feelings.

I told a past therapist about it but all she did was say 'okay' and seemingly shrugged it off. Thats why I wanted to talk about it here. My male guardian is good about helping with my physical health but is pretty emotionally neglective towards me. But I just needed to get this off my chest as its been really bothering me.
