Dysphoria
I’ve recently been really struggling with gender dysphoria (16 MTF). I hate everything about my body and just wish I could be a real girl. Everything about my shape, features and certain biology just disgusts me and I don’t know how much longer I can do this.
I’m trying to do that stuff, my support network will get tired of me complaining about it all the time, I’ve tried clothes but it just makes me feel like a man in a skirt instead of a girl. Because of my country medical transition is rather difficult to get especially as a young person. I’m really struggling to hold on to that hope at the moment.
Thank you so much kind stranger, I hope you’re right about things getting better and I will definitely try to find things to make me more comfortable in my own skin

are hormones or surger(ies) a possibility for you?
Not at all

I know this isn't changing biology, but what helps me with dysphoria is controlling other parts that can feel affirming like hair, accessories, clothes, etc. Even a bit of something "right" when I look at the mirror and see what/how i see myself actually helps. Is any of that doable?
I try with that but everything looks wrong on this body, anything I try makes me look like a man in a dress and it makes me feel disgusting

ugh i hear you. it's so hard to get to that affirming place to say "hey that looks like me" or being okay with presentation and how you feel :(
Yeah it’s so hard to have to just sit in this feeling all the time
Hey! Im also in a similar struggle! (16 and ftm) gender dysmorphia can be really difficult, but remember, transitioning takes time! Im always here if you need me!!
I understand it takes time but it’s the waiting that’s killing me, I’ve been waiting for 4 years I’m done with it. I still have to wait at least 2 more years and probably more, I don’t want to wait, I just want to be me.
