Females who have overcome dysphoria without transition to male?
I’m female and I have physical and social dysphoria, but I don’t want to identify as male or transition because it would complicate so much shit in my life. I just don’t think I can do that.
I’ve been told by trans guys that transition is the *only* way to overcome dysphoria, and I’ve been told by radfems that it’s not even an acceptable way. I don’t think I agree with either of those stances, but I would love to talk to some woman-identified females who have overcome ‘ftm’ type dysphoria without transition. I would prefer reblogs or responses to the post instead of private messages b/c this is a side blog so I can’t respond privately.
It wasn’t even an option back in the day, so I did what I had to do to survive. I got therapy and antidepressants to deal with the depression I was coping with. I started making art, doing martial arts, teaching myself that my body wasn’t a decorative item for others. It is a tool for me to accomplish things. I started treating myself more kindly.
