Spoiler: you may not be trans
I thought I was trans for a bit but I realized after a while that I wasn't trans, I just had an OCD fixation on being trans because I thought that maybe this was the root of my problems, my depression, my anxiety, my awkwardness. I have, however, come to realize that if I don't sit and think about my issues, and instead take practical steps towards fixing them, that I didn't have the thought "well maybe I'm trans". There's a bunch of retarded memes out there that people say as a way to try to recruit like "cis people don't question their gender hoooon~ <3" and I got so fixated on them because no one actually gives good answers about gender dysphoria over the internet. Overall my advice to reevaluate yourself and see if you actually have dysphoria because maybe you just have OCD about it like I did for a while.

Who cares? Do you hate your body or not? If not, don't transition, if yes, get on testosterone.

Before you go offering this 'advice', let me hit you with a question.
How LONG ago was that, when did your obsession begin, and how old are you now?

autists shouldn't transition tbhon
you will regret it and be another 'transtrender'

i mean i really hate my boobs that's the main disphoric part i also wish my voice was lower and sometimes during sex wish i had a dick but i wouldnt ever get bottom surgery. i wish i was a little more muscular but im trying to work out. i also want a chizzled jaw and maybe a little facial hair, less hips etc

People have been referring to you as “she” all your life. It takes a little bit of time to overcome years and years of conditioning. It’ll be the same with your name.
Don’t listen to the memeing assholes

Do you feel dysphoric about being addressed as a woman? Is your natural instinct to go with men, or want to be with men, in a split-gender social situation? (i.e. where do you instinctively feel you belong?) Do you emotionally relate more with men or women?
I know that feel. I'm mtf and all my friends use she now and it just makes me feel bad to hear it. It's what I want to hear, but I feel like they're just humoring me, or I feel like I'm lying to myself, there's just something wrong about it. It still feels better than being called he (which is the fucking worst) but I feel like I lose no matter what

If you’re pre-transition or unpassing they are kinda humoring you desu. But you should be grateful that they are, it means they care about your well-being.
>>8867240
yes exactly. i feel disgusted whenever i hear someone refer to me as "she" but even still with "he" it doesnt feel right. its much better tho than being called female pronouns.

Im actually not changing my name im very attached to it because my mom spelled it a different way than usual and its also unisex at the same time

Nice, you’re lucky. I liked my male name but it was pretty unmistakeably male.
