I’m not diagnosed but I am almost 100% sure I have gender dysphoria because ever since I hit puberty I have found it hard to be happy. I can’t take showers, go swimming, get changed, or get deadnamed without wanting to die. I just hope one day I can be a boy for sure.

I have felt that I am female for many years, and it is often so profound and helpless that it makes me cry. I want to be myself so much, but know that I never ever can, and that is absolutely soul destroying, and I just cannot stop crying.

I know many cases of gender dysphoria start basically from childhood. However, for me I just (noticed) started having it. I was born as a male. It was (and sort of still is) small things at first such as playing as a female in games. Its weird though because the whole entire time I have been customizing these characters I act as if it is me. I put on nice dresses and try to find good heels or necklaces in some games. I used to be attracted to women. But honestly, I think it was forced on me because of the cultural climate I live in and non supporting parents and being laughed at by my so called "friends". Even if I wanted to switch (more and more everyday I do) I cant right now. I live in the south with toxic parents and I don't have enough money yet to move out. However, do not let my story tear you down. Even if you live in an environment like me DO NOT let that suppress your true feelings. Do what you want, be what you want. This is your life, no one else's and its time we start seeing it that way! Have a good day and remember, you are you!🌈

Dear people of the comment section who have a hard time understanding. it's okay to not understand, we all have some times when we can't understand some things. If you want to Know more about gender dysphoria and Transgender in general, you can go look at some articles or even talk to a local Doctor(like a psychiatrist, etc) and get more info. As someone who is transgender and deals with gender dysphoria, it's a horrible thing that I didn't ask to have it. Some people were born with the opposite Gender's brain type which effects how they may act and feel. How you could help people with dysphoria can be, Use their preferred Name and pronouns, and treat them with respect. They are like every other human beings. being kind to us may save a live. Also, before you say that I'm a special snowflake, just remembered that snowflakes are beautiful, so thanks for the compliment! I love you.💞😁

I have gender dysphoria because sometimes I look at the mirror and look at my body, Sometimes I notice that my body is more masculine and at later times more feminine At this point, I don't know if it's Dysphoria or Dysmorphia, I sometimes cry because I don't know, understand and even sometimes identify what I see on the mirror, I consider myself as non-binary because I personally look androgenous, and I don't care of what people adress me as, whether it be a "he", "she" or even "they" i accept all names because just as long you adress me with kindness and respect I will always accept it, but then again I am not trans but many people do suffer with this mentality but I am not bashing other trans folks, I'm just sharing my strugles as a person whom experience body dysphoria (also my user name is just a song so yeah JIC someone ask why I identify as a "Boy", nop it's a song)

I am not diagnosed with gender dysphoria, but my Ex boyfriend is. In our relationship it was more like I was the boy and he was the girl, and I guess it was just our personalities. I now understand what he went through, and I started love him, even if he doesn’t love me.

I've felt masculine for all of my life (I was born a female) but it's starting to get so bad I can't look at my homework, look into a mirror or go outside in the living room and be perceived as female because it makes me feel so disconnected from who I actually am. It started with identifying as bisexual, then as lesbian, then as non-binary, and in every stage of life I seem to be climbing this ladder to become who I really am. This time though, I'm scared to express myself, because of my parents, those around me, change, and this is the first time I have ever been scared of being who I am. I don't want these feelings to last forever because they are stopping me from doing what I love, so here's to hoping I can battle through the dysphoria.

So you’re telling me... it’s not normal to constantly wish you were the other sex? Oh.. well then

It sucks when you're at home still and you don't have the strength to tell your parents. It also feels like it's coming out of nowhere for me! I recently came to terms with being nb, but I feel like I should have felt this before now. Stay strong, we can do this!

Thank you for clarifying these things! I do not have gender dysphoria, but ever since I was in kindergarten, I was always told to be more feminine or that I'm ungirly. I never understood what people meant because I feel very girly. It gets to a point sometimes where it's just tiring and frustrating, and it made me question my own gender identity. I started thinking "Maybe they have a point? Maybe I'm a boy?". When I was a kid, I used to wish to have been born as a boy, because I knew I wouldn't have been treated as an outsider to my own gender if I was a boy. I looked up "gender dysphoria" to see if I have it, but now I think the feeling I get sometimes of being an outsider to my own gender is because of how others treat gender roles, and not because I'm inherently uncomfortable. I look in the mirror and I'm happy to see a girl. I think about being a boy and something about it makes me dreadful. I think about being non-binary, and again, I feel dreadful. But when I see myself, I feel like this is me. This video explained things in a way that was easy for me to understand so thank you for making it! To those who do have gender dysphoria, I wish you all the luck you need and remember, you are strong! You can make it! Hugs and kisses! Also, society is weird.

I’m over here crying when I’m reminded that I’m seen as a woman, feeling utterly repulsed by my body, and not feeling comfortable when described as a daughter or sister, but still asking myself if I’m just overthinking things and am not dysphoric

Although I do not deal with these issues and don’t understand them I have to keep in mind that we are all human. Everyone deserves to be happy. Please consider therapy for your mental health before you make a rash decision you may regret. I hope you all find self love.

My body is literally that of a female stereotype and I hate it so much. I’m a small, short, weak girl with a high pitched voice. I hate it so much.

As a transgender woman, I find this video explains dysphoria like a textbook from decades ago.
