      @Alexander Curtis I developed ed tendencies recently and it actually clashes with my dysphoria? Because of the difference between my chest size any body type, the smaller I get the more noticeable my chest gets (Which is already noticeable as all hell ugh) which is so goddamn frustrating. My main point of dysphoria is my chest and I fucking hate it.

      It helps weirdly much. I remind myself about things like, "your chest will one day be flat" and "we might be skinny fat, but we're hitting that gym daily and one day we're gonna be a god" and "cr1tikal is only 5'6". Height is how you carry yourself."
      It's really hard at first, but if you ever feel like a faker or like it's never going to be okay, just remember that you're making an active decision and dedicating a lot of your life to what most people take for granted: your gender. And that's just the most badass thing ever.

      I've been doing this for a good while and it actually has helped me accept the extra bits of fat on my body. I am a little thicker than the average biological girl so not only does it help with my dysphoria but
      It helps an oddly large amount with an eating disorder of mine.

I finally have the haircut I love and I can just trim the sides and try to keep the manbun middle not too long so it looks alright.

Going to conventions helped me so much, with figuring out my gender identity. So. I can definitely recommend it, even if going might feel a little scary at first.

      From a 22 year old trans guy, do what you want. Wear what you want. It may affect whether or not you pass so keep that in mind, but if you carry yourself with confidence and correct others if/when they misgender you it helps out a lot.
      A lot of gender presentation is nonverbal, too. If you walk a certain way, carry yourself a certain way, and pay close attention to and mimic the body language and speech patterns of cis men (speaking slower and more directly, speaking less, using fewer filler words such as "like") , it does a surprising amount to help. Don't let that keep you from being yourself, of course, but that's stuff you can try if you'd like.
      Best of luck, dude. I'm proud of you.

When I was still in the closet I walked like a motherfucking goblin, exactly like Shinjiro Aragaki from Persona 3, which caused back problems and it's essentially the one thing people mistook me for a male for, bc if I was sitting on a desk that wouldn't reveal my stance I would get identified as a female (and then I'd be in high spirits for the rest of the day xd) . Now I walk like a top model because it comes naturally to me and I only needed to do that one thing for people to properly recognize my gender, so it's not just your appearance, it's also your behaviour and mannerisms. Of course, appearance also matters, but that comes later and more slowly.

      @@thewitheredsouls I feel you. I've dealt with being referred to as "unhealthy" or "gross" for just body hair. I'm lucky that I have a friend in a similar identity situation to me who doesn't shave, as well as a friend who doesn't for religious reasons. People just don't understand it; it's so normal now to be hairless below the eyes for "females" that people make terrible assumptions about normal human body hair, but _only_ if it's on a person perceived as such. If it's a "male" that shaves then there's suddenly a problem with _not_ having body hair too.

      Derpycheese11 If you have breathing problems i would recommend a binder 2 or 3 size larger, it will be easier to breath and should still flatten it to an extent. If you don’t want to do that, get 2 sports bras and wear them together (would also recommend a larger size for both because you don’t want to mess up your lungs more) and wear baggy sweatshirts and shirts too hide your chest

    Since most of my friends from my old school is very religious((hecc, even my best friend's for 10 years is very religious)) if I open up my problem with them they will disown me calling me a traitor towards my religion and stuffs…. But luckily I still have friends from my new school and some of my old friends supporting me to be who I am.

    DON'T tell them you won't accept! Trust me, it hurts not just them but yourself as well because you will have to live with them suffering in front of you and you not seeming to care! After a few days, i messaged him and said "i love you, bro. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!" He did and we are both happy. Even if you don't believe in it, at least learn to coexist with them and use the pronouns: they/them. I am mistreated because i am not "changing my trans and gay friends" and will fight to the death for them but i don't care!! I love you, for being you, and as long as you don't have sex with animals or are a criminal in any way, you are cool in my book. Stay safe, and stay hydrated. 😊🤜🤛👍👐👏💜🖤

    Catholic school really messed me up bad. I went there from pre-elementary school to middle school. I had a really shitty time there thanks to my teachers bullying me at a really young age (3 or something) for not acting like a typical boy and telling me that I'm going to hell. This experience scared me of being myself for years and I tried so hard to be "normal" but it never worked. Middle school was the worst thing I've ever gone through in my life. Not only was I getting yelled at and bullied by literally everyone but on top of that puberty started taking effect. I was just so sad all of the time and couldn't stand looking at myself. Puberty made really masc., to the point where I had a full blow mustache in 7th grade. It being a Catholic school I was never educated on trans people, gay people, etc. so I had no clue what was going on with me and never told anyone what I was feeling bc it wouldn't be "manly". I honestly believed what people were telling me and thought I was a terrible person. Thankfully for me Coronavirus shut down my school and that really gave me time to try and find out what is going on with me. Thankfully I did and glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.

    As someone who is really only JUST coming to terms with themselves, this video is honestly really helpful to me. Not just for the tips you give, but also just...being able to relate, I guess is a good way to put it? Feeling NOT alone in everything can be really comforting.
    My voice and hair (which used to be really long) have always been issues for me.
    Cutting my hair has honestly made me feel SO much better. For a long time I really wasn't able to cut it because, as supportive as my family USUALLY is, anytime I cut my hair from long to shoulder length I'd hear a lot of comments about long hair being "so much prettier" or something, even though when it WAS long, no one ever saw it down. That had enough of an impact on me that I didn't actually cut my hair SHORT until...like this past Christmas, even though I've been moved out for almost 5 years.
    I've been pitching my voice down more, but old habits die hard where I used to be in customer service and when I I talk to people when I go out, my high-pitched super feminine customer service voice comes out. It's really frustrating but I have trouble stopping it, so it's still an issue, but it's getting better.
    I DEFINITELY agree with the clothing tip. I've started investing more in clothes that work better for me and it's made me feel so much better.

    I'm non binary and have been feeling so much dysphoria today and have been feeling like garbage from it. This really helped keep my mind off of it for a bit, so thanks.

    I've had gender dysphoria for years now. It's not fun. I've had times when I just layed in bed and couldn't move because I was so uncomfortable in my own body. But I'm doing alot better now. I just bought a binder a couple of weeks ago and I got a new hair cut. I'm also saving some money for a top surgery, I still havent came out to my parents tho.
    And thanks for the video it helped me alot. I related to alot of the stuff you said. :)

    Another tip for asking for a binder:don’t phrase it as a chest compression thing. When I wore my binder with a button-up shirt in front of my family for the first time, they thought it was an undershirt/bra combo thing. Just phrase it as some new fashion trend(obviously this works better if they’re older), saying it’s a type of undershirt rather than a binder.

      That's why I ran back here too. Dysphoria is normally not a problem but shit it just hits me so hard sometimes
      Edit: Today it came again. Shit.
      And I'm in bed tucking, once again on the verge of tears... yay
