I better not see any mfs on here use OP’s experience as fuel to think of trans ppl as “ppl who hate themselves”, & that if they loved hard enough they won’t be trans. Body dysphoria isn’t the only factor to being trans, and it differs person to person
i’m starting to think that transgenderism is just body dysphoria. I was almost going to transition but then i started to love who I was and stopped. love yourselves girlies ❤️

I’m trans and never hated my body 😭 I’m just substantially happier & prouder of how I am now. being trans isnt even fully based in body dysphoria, since much of body dysphoria comes from that aspect being scene as traditionally male/female.

I’m the same way! Instead of hatred I always felt neutral about my body. I didn’t come out for a long time because I thought I wasn’t ‘trans enough’ for not going through as much dysphoria as others. It got the point I dismissed the moments of gender euphoria I felt at being my authentic self. A lot about OP’s post concerns the hell out of me, but OP defining transness only through suffering is the biggest one
