It doesn’t just have to be “oh I’m a man/woman/enby.” What qualities do you have or want to obtain as your gender? How do you express yourself? What does your gender feel like?

    Your gender might be cyclical, regularly shifting along a well-trodden course, or it might be dynamic, changing in response to stimuli.

    I have never heard of that! Sounds like I have some reading to do. Thank you! May I ask how old you are now and what kind of hormones you are taking? “Just” estrogen or test blockers as well? Only if you are comfortable sharing ofc <3 could also share via dm if you prefer

    Just vented to a good friend of mine (one of 2 people that know about my thoughts) and just getting it all out was helpful as well.

      No worries! I’m quite familiar with how just talking about it to someone who understands can ease the burden of dysphoria and I’m happy to share!

      This actually came up in another thread yesterday: https://pawb.social/comment/7129720 but I’ll repeat the details here for ya~

      I’m in my late 30’s now, and started hormone therapy about 7.5 months ago. I’m on 2mg sublingual Estradiol, 5mg Finasteride, and started 100mg Progesterone at 3 months, no anti-androgen.

      As of my last testing, both E and T levels are on the low side of normal for the female and male ranges respectively.
