Bored and feeling too nauseous to do much atm while recovering from surgery. So i wanted to hear about some of your experiences. I think mine was quite uncommon because i never identified my personal discomfort as dysphoria and rather found out through lying about my identity online (for anonymity purposes) that being seen and addressed as male felt incredibly euphoric and just right. Through that the discomfort in my day to day life becoming more apparent till i eventually had to consider the possibility of being trans and everything else kinda started from there. I was 15-16 during that time. The dysphoria i felt in younger years for me back then was just something i assumed is normal if youre a teenage girl

When I was around 9 I knew I didn't like my genitals and wanted those of the opposite sex, but I didn't know that was something I could actually do. When I was around 12/13 I found a Scratch project that explained about sex and gender and trans people and I was like "That's me!"

Cue several years of oscillating between "yeah, I'm trans, stop lying to yourself" and "you're just trying to feel special/seek attention/rebel/you'll never be a real girl anyway". I eventually realised I was genderfluid and that I was actually oscillating between being fem/girl and being agender, and rarely masc.

Around 15/16 I came out as nonbinary at school which was ignored. Around 17 I started insisting on they/them pronouns which was then respected by some people, around the same time I got on HRT.

Then when I started passing around a year later and getting gendered as female by strangers and feeling gender euphoria from that, I was pretty sure that I was actually trans :p
