Why did this fucking happen. What the fuck am I doing with my life? Fuck. The dysphoria came out of nowhere. I'm not even AGP because I've never even had thoughts of being a girl, sexual or otherwise. And I definitely never had gender dysphoria. Nor was I GNC. So what's going on?

did you post too much on ponychan?
>>7965400
I only visited that site from time to time. But I did browse /mlp/ a lot, IIRC (or at least whenever it was first started). I wasn't a huge brony, but I did relate heavily to Twilight Sparkle.
>>7965408
did you ever namefag on there?
>>7965384
This happened because you are a weak individual who is easily swayed by external forces.
>>7965413
Nope. I almost never posted, to be honest. Just lurked.
>>7965416
Maybe so, but see, I just don't understand what happened.
It suddenly hit me like a truck, without any direct interference from the outside. I went from 0-100 in what felt like an instant. Perfectly normal one day. Then that same night realized I was dysphoric and completely, utterly broke down. It's like someone turned on switch or possessed me. It's honestly scary.

Lolwut
>>7965447
Never had gender dysphoria until 2012, is what I meant.
>>7965426
My point stands. You are like this because you are the definition of a weakling, and you have no strong self image. It's not too late. Reflect on your life, build an internal monument to you where you own up to your mistakes, celebrate your achievements, and keep your experiences in mind when taking steps forward in life.
And stop posting on /r9k/, you don't have the strength yet to not be influenced by a bunch of literal losers, which makes you susceptible to their crabs in a bucket mentality.
I think that you need to focus on your original goals. People don't generally stop mid day and think "I am a woman" or "I am a man". You are who you are, and you are going to have the same goals and ambitions at the end of your day, regardless of what gender you are.

Therapy. Find a very good gender therapist.

if it feels good, fuck it
when your parents had you they took on all the possibilities having a kid entails
for all they knew at the time you could have died of cancer at 10 years old
you being a tranny shouldn't be the end of the world for them, if it is, they have issues
life is short and terrifying and cruel and the universe won't remember any of us, be a girlfaggot and enjoy it while you can
>>7967588
Did you end up transitioning?
>>7967738
Yup, I'm a lot comfier in my body =]
Looking back to when I was a kid there were definite and obvious signs, but I never really thought about it until I learned it was a possibility. When I learned about what transexuality was the dysphoria came on strong. Before that I was just uncomfortable without really knowing why.
>>7967814
Not who you replied to, but how did that transition go for you, and when did you do it? I'm just curious about how cases like yours and OPs turn out.
>>7968126
I'm almost 2 years hrt (I'm 21), and don't have much trouble passing. I went full time at the start of this year. Still deal with dysphoria, but it's way more bearable. It was a lot worse, I actually dropped out of school because of it. Things are well now, in recovery from mental illness.

You could pass for male if you really tried.
You're androgynous.
>>7968203
Yeah, my voice and mannerisms are what push me over
