If burn victims, horribly malformed, disabled people, conjoined twins, other mutilated people, are all able to live with themselves and accept themselves, then why can’t I? Why is that.
idk what the stats r, but its not like those people dont have high rates of sui. quite possibly comparable to troons with accepting families,
But as I’ve heard no repper was ever able to stop their dysphoria. And I believe that some of these people are able to accept themselves. So what makes it different?
from what i have seen, troons can come to terms with body dysphoria, demonstrated by hons that love themselves despite still looking like men.
the thing that can’t be shaken is social dysphoria, the dysphoria that comes with how u are treated
Okay. That is similar to how I feel honestly, because sometimes in rare cases while looking at myself in soft lighting I can delude myself to perceive myself as a woman and not focus on my male features, that way I can feel a little euphoric. Btw I did not start HRT yet for context. But as you say social dysphoria cannot be stopped. So I think what hons might be doing is exactly that, deluding their brain to perceive themselves the correct way.
yes, its called honfidence, its important to have a little, or u go insane
My AGP field is pretty strong to be honest. Recently my honfrate has been pretty high. While waiting for HRT it might be beneficial to awaken my honfidence. When I finally take HRT I think I’ll cause the third sneedpact
Because they still feel like they are themselves, if not a little bit more disabled than most people. It’s a different beast entirely to exist in a body you cannot identify with enough that your brain literally creates mental illness in the rejection of it. Not to say some people who do have bodily issues don’t have trouble accepting themselves.
But why was I able to accept myself as a child. Why did I not have those feelings before I was 16. I only had subtle signs at most.
I could say that “I accepted myself” as a kid despite having extremely conflicting views of certain things and aspects that I couldn’t really grasp until I was more of an adult, but in my own opinion and experience I wasn’t given the chance to explore, and I was being abused on top of it, so…. I couldn’t tell you what was going through your mind, but going through puberty (at 16 in your own words) and starting to have dysphoric tendencies is pretty revealing you kind of hated the idea of being your birth sex, if not at least a little uncomfortable with it.
I’m 18 now, yet I have almost no memory on what I was thinking, but I’m 80% sure I wasn’t having anything near troon thoughts or discomfort, but there’s a couple of little things I could mark as “signs”. I was okay with inserting myself as male, I was completely okay but then something changed and I can’t remember what. I may be an actual case of ROGD, because I’ve started off as a femboy, as I remember my first instances of this were idolizing and wanting to be like one anime character lukako from steins gate. But back then I had no identity at all. Literally my only identity was liking science and stuff and I’ve never cared about my presentation.
The subtle signs I was talking about was wanting long hair in kindergarten, but not because girls had it, because other boy was able to have it. I also didn’t like my body hair when it started growing.
