The only story that is capable of distressing me is my own
The only pictures that are capable of triggering or soothing my disphoria, are my own

What do you think was meant by post stories? Go ahead, post.

>larger thicker hand
well you could always shave half your head, gorge on ice cream, and start posting on everydayfeminism
you'd pass
>>5422999
I have a long thin face with an angular jawline and a long thin nose. My mouth protrudes. I have hollow cheeks and can't put on fat for the life of me. Broad shoulders, large hands, large feet, large adam's apple, and I'm 6'2".
The best I have going for me is relatively pretty eyes (or so I'm told), a thin waist and somewhat shapely hips.
I keep asking the magic 8 ball and the bottle whether or not I should go back to it or keep lying
They both keep saying yes. I don't know if I can take it again

>hairy indian friend has actual feminine hands despite his large brow and large shoe size
lol
>>5422999
I have small, slender hands. But they're veiny as fuck :( Anyone know these feels? And anyone know how to fix it?
>>5423293
I know this feel a lot. They show up when I'm warm more, and it just feels gross. I think it's unfixable.
The first part of this makes me sad, and the second part makes me really creeped out and p. much confirms that I need HRT asap.
>>5423293
If hrt hasn't fixed them, then they're probably there to stay.
On the bright side, more women than you think have naturally veiny hands.
Fun fact: hands can usually thicken through physical labor.
> sexual dimorphism is so painful to watch
>>5422999
Passing? nothing. i pass fine
>Pictures that set off dysphoria
porn, i cry when i watch it

You've triggered me by triggering my anti-trigger trigger.
>>5424136
That's what I suspected. Fuck my piece of shit father.
>>5424256
I'm so glad I have a beta frame.
>>5422999
pic related, things that trigger me
My massive man feet. Losing them to an accident would probably be worse, but I almost wish it would happen.
>tfw sheltered NEET shut in my whole life
>hands are smooth and feminine because no work or handling of anything other than my mouse and anime figurines
>>5424256
only whites are visibly sexually dimorphic :^)
>>5425170
> anime figurines
gross
i bet ur also a transbian
>>5425152
>Lose feet in accident
>Have to wear prosthetics
>At least I can wear those cute women's size 8.5 shoes now
What's there to not love?
>>5424256
Pretty much this.
>>5422999
I just pulled my longish hair back and looks at my hairline
i want to die dont need to play this game
>>5425252
>What's there to not love?
Your brain would give you phantom limb which is fucking body dysphoria too.
>>5425220
AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Well meme'd my friend.
>>5425223
>ur
i bet you're from tumblr
Looking in the mirror, being called a man, dude, bro, etc, my clothes, my smell, my hair, using the bathroom, hearing my voice, seeing pictures of myself....
I think that's about it...
>>5422999
>female
>have hands on the right
Fuck
>you will never have a small rib cage and a large pelvis
>>5423233
Holy shit, are you me? Because this sounds like me.
But tbf, practically everything triggers me. I work in retail, and for some reason pretty girls are in my store all the time. Whenever I see them, I cry inside.
Also, walking through the bra aisle is practically torture. Incidentally, I walk through that aisle intentionally, because it seems I'm a glutton for misery.
Probably gonna kill myself when my parents die.
Pic related. She's beautiful and she's my idol.
Pretty much just seeing cis women triggers my dysphoria.
>doesn't matter how unkempt or badly dressed they are at least no one will question that they're a woman
>seeing women who are in shape because it becomes painfully obvious how different your frames are no matter how much 'muh fat redistribution'
Also just seeing myself.
>>5432512
cool now i want to kill myself again
>>5432512
Yep this got me thx
>>5432553
God this. I work ridiculously hard to stay in shape but I still look like shit compared to any cis woman.
>>5424256
this so hard
the fact that you can typically tell one's sex by seeing a silhouette of them absolutely disgusts me
i live in florida but i still wear a hoodie at all times to hide my tiny shoulders from the world
>>5424103
Why creepy?

put on some weight, mr skeltal
I'm not trans but seeing the obvious pain you folks go through because of dysphoria really makes me wonder why people insist that being trans is an identity and not a mental illness. It's like how certain members of the deaf community don't like their deafness being called a disability, it just seems nuts.
>>5425152
>tfw size 11
One of the things stopping me from transitioning, along with the fact that my face is too ugly to ever be close to passing. Endless suffering.
>>5441085
Hell I'm 9 and I have a hard time finding nice shoes.
>>5440361
There's a part of the community (see: tumblr) that believes that you don't need dysphoria to be trans. Those people, usually called trans-trenders, are the ones that perpetuate that it's an identity.
i have so many redeeming masculine features, dark hair, big hands, wide shoulders, deep voice even.
My fucking chest and face make me want to kill myself though. my stupid fucking bitch face and bitch tits that no binder can hope to flatten. if im seen from any angle other than the back i read as a fucking woman. its disgusting
>>5442159
Are you on T yet?
>>5423293
So do I. On the other hand, so does my mum.
It runs in the family, but isn't karyotype-linked.
>>5432553
I know this feel.
When I'm not around women I feel like I can actually deal with being trans pretty well, overall. The main problem is that my thoughts and mental state tend to just spiral out of control around women (which means it happens inevitably almost every time I go outside, so if I want to actually maintain a job or education it has to happen frequently; around 65-80% of the students in my course are female, conveniently). Also, without a female body as a reference I can sort of fool myself into believing my body is more feminine than it is if I don't think about it too hard.
They're so casual about being female; they don't even care. It especially hurts to hear them idly complain about minor problems with being female that don't really bother them deeply; like, I'm sure it being hard to find clothes and having to deal with periods makes being a girl bad; it's not as if you get to fundamentally feel like a functioning human being and not whatever the fuck I feel like.
On a different topic, it's funny how my aversion to seeing myself means that any kind of masculine hair that I can't practically remove without looking continues to grow until the degree of discomfort from that outweighs the dysphoria from looking at myself to get rid of it.
I don't know; I'm just venting here. I suppose that's what the thread's for, other than providing a convenient tool for people to intentionally escalate their dysphoria with.
>>5442467
I understand you anon.
Being around women just reminds me that I can never be a women and I'll never look like a woman.
It's not really logical but being trans makes me really hate women just because they get to be women and I don't.
>>5425152
Those are attractive feet IMO.
>>5432149
>being called a man, dude, bro, etc, my clothes, my smell, my hair, using the bathroom, hearing my voice
these get better with time anon, you just gotta make it through, and you'll be happier
>Looking in the mirror, seeing pictures of myself
gonna need surgery for this, but no matter what, with enough effort you can be at least 85%
>>5440361
>>5441899
really? i see tons of people on here insisting the same, even though i'm pretty sure they don't think you don't need dysphoria. it seems like they're the ones who would be on susan's if they were born 40 years earlier, complaining about how it's perfectly normal and how non TruTrans are ruining it for everyone
just my impression though I guess
>>5442501
Yes, but not mine sadly.
>ITT: Pictures that set off dysphoria

Just dropping by to tell you that I feel genuinely sorry for all of you.
Do you really think pretending to be something you're not is better for your psyche than just dealing with the fact that you are what you are?
Reading all this is like reading about people in a wheelchair getting triggered that others can walk. You wouldn't tell them to pretend like they can walk but find a way to deal with their situation.
Most of you seem to be mentally ill in one form or another and living life as the other gender doesn't seem to change that.
Genuinely not meant to insult anyone here but this thread is just so pathetic.

If it were possible to just "accept who we are" then that's what we'd do. People have been trying to do that for pretty much forever; it doesn't work, in a similar way to how gay people can't make themselves straight through sheer force of will. Transitioning is far, far, from a perfect solution, but unfortunately it's the only one available at the moment that has any sufficient therapeutic benefit. Despite its flaws, transitioning brings the ridiculously high suicide rate for trans people way down (as a measurable benefit; there are other more subjective ones of course); if you can suggest any other treatment that's proven to do that then I'd welcome it. It alleviates symptoms, undeniably. Many diseases can't be cured but can be treated.
You also have all the issues surrounding whether the mind or the body is "correct". I mean, there's not an objective way of saying which; it's a philosophical question. They're each wrong in the context of the other; the male body should have a male mind/identity and the female mind/identity should have a female body. Being trans isn't a delusion; trans people know they're the sex they are, and they know that transitioning won't entirely make them into the sex they want to be (though in many totally valid definitions of the word it will). That doesn't change their identity, and it doesn't change that transitioning generally make things better for them. Does your identity need to be appropriate to your body (whatever that means) for it to be "real"? I would argue that the identity they have is real, regardless of the body it exists in; if it somehow existed without a body at all then it wouldn't even possible for it to be invaild.
The mechanism behind transsexualism isn't at all well understood, but I'd hypothesise that a transsexual person "accepting" who they are is impossible, in the sense that the pathology doesn't come from wanting to be female/male so much as being unable to deal with being their birth sex.
