This is the article. And yes it has. I wasnt even aware really till few months ago, except through porn

>>8516107
And I also must do something about it went to shit...

I don't know if that's necessarily the case. I saw a specialized gender therapist and she believed it was my OCD manifesting itself around transgender themes. Then again if you have no anxiety surrounding the thoughts that's probably not the case. I've had "indirect dysphoria" and severe depression since puberty which is suspicious so I'm never 100% sure.

What do you mean?

It's basically how you react to the thoughts themselves. Usually they are extremely repetitive in nature, distressing, actual fear about being or becoming transgender, like a brain on constant high alert from a perceived threat. It's distinct from being trans and having anxiety around being trans, so they seem similar at first glance. It's worth researching OCD especially if you have a history of serious anxiety disorders.

I personally would see a therapist about the AGP, it could just be a kink but you definitely want to find out if something else is going on.

I have severe anxiety around it and all quite since puberty plus some red flags since childhood

Important things is thought about being t and becoming girl make me happy in some ways, while scarring shit out of my rational self

Sorry to spook you but if they make you happy you are very likely trans. Any rational person would be scared, it's a huge change and fucking terrifying, but being scared of being trans doesn't make you not trans. Find a good therapist and be honest with yourself.

>>8516547
My memories (OP):
I have forgot many things (or repressed?), but lets go: 1. I at least didnt felt bad when I was mistaken for a girl few times between 12 and 14 - and I remembered exact scenes. 2. Also body swaping fantasies with girls from school 3. Trying moms bra few times in a bathroom 4. Intrigued when my sis first time got barbies, however i have played only once or twice with her 5. Remember reading first time about transition as kid 6. My first masturbation session was fantasies when I was lesbian girl 7. I remember preffering Lara Croft to Indiana Jones 8. When I was playibg one winter sport game i happily chose ginger girl as character 9. I allways admired female beauty but most of times in very non sexual way (not excludinh sexual of course) 10. Watched a lot of ts porn and sissy 11. Allways felt not really part of the guys, despite acting quite masculine and hanging out with then - specially in bigger groups

That's all normal for an AGP, which you already know you are. For AGPs transition is a personal decision. Think about how dysphoric you are now, how dysphoric you might get, how close to being female transition will be for you (risk of not passing, surgery, etc, will it be good enough?), and then think about which life will right. Keep in mind that as a guy you can act feminine and as a girl you don't need to in any way you don't want.

You need to sort what your actual fears are, you can't actually find the idea of being a girl distressing and happy at the same time. You cold be trans with serious anxiety alongside in which case, good luck.

>>8516621
see the idea of being a girl isn't distressing the idea of being trans and transitioning is.

Are you taking any action about your feelings besides seeing the therapist? I have OCD and recently accepted that these thoughts I've had about myself and my body are actually dysphoria, not just OCD, and I want to transition. Came out to a friend and going to a therapist soon. I'm worried that I'll be told it's just OCD and be held back. How does your therapist treat you?
