is reverse gender dysphoria a thing? Im a cis male, and I want nothing more than to be a successful male with fulfilling relationships and life, but I have major depression from being abused. When I hit a low, I get the feeling that I don't deserve to be a man, and that I must be a girl/trans. I have crossdressed throughout my life with tons of guilt and shame and suicidal ideation following a dress up/masturbation session

you might be repressing, although if the dysphoria isn't strong at all you might as well not transition.

Did you crossdress before being abused?

no, it was kind of forced/playing crossdressing by my mom/sister

Was it just like "oh hey anon wear this cute dress" or did they like beat you and shit while in a dress?

no it was more in depth than that. we were poor so I had to wear my sister's old clothes, and this led to things like "dress up" being the norm. As I got older I rejected it but remember times they forcibly pulled dresses over my head. This led me to be pretty shy and reserved, which idk attracted pedos apparently because I experienced "real" abuse as well. I always felt targeted for being small and feminine

Well they are just clothes at the end of the day. It doesn't make you a girl just because you wore a dress.
Do you dislike your genitals and your body shape? Like would you be uncomfortable if you were more masculine or would you prefer you became more feminine?

hmm not sure, I feel like the only reason Id like becoming more fem is because Id be more attractive when I crossdress
I have a slightly above average sized penis that I am quite happy with desu
Being a girl isn't a "may as well" thing. It's a difficult path to finding lasting happiness.
You went through some hard stuff, but considering how much unhappiness and negativity you associate with being female, I don't think transitioning is the path for you. I think you need to see a professional, and come to terms with what happened in your childhood. Until you come to accept it and move on, it's going to keep on haunting you

It might just be a simple fetish. Crossdressing isn't that horrible of a thing to do.
Do you think you would be happier if you could dress like a girl and look like a girl all day long though?
