it's hard, when every aspect of your life is really heavily impacted by it.

>How you know someone has never experienced dysphoria

The extremes of dysphoria come and go, and when it comes it's difficult to cope with. It's also very common for people to think that when it goes, they've successfully fought it off, like through the method you're suggesting, when really, it's just back into remission or dormancy.

>Just stop thinking about that annoying itch you've always felt, eventually it will go away!

every time I sit down I crush my balls because my brain doesn't think I have them

Why can't you just wear dresses without taking hormones?

because then my body turns into an old man's body, and that is even more unacceptable.

so dysphoria is just "people don't think of me as a sexy girl"?

It's about being comfortable in your own body. It's about how people treat you, whether they treat you as a woman or a man, not about whether they lust after you like you're an 80% silicone bimbo. There's a big difference between wanting to be stared at on the street and wanting people to use miss or ma'am in place of sir.

this, and i just hate the subconscious associations people form about me as a "guy". I hate that if i act girly or shave my body hair that i am shunned. I hate having masculine features and want feminine features. I wish i could give birth and be a mother. I hate being larger than people. Theres more but i cant think right now. I could possibly live with this stuff, but my life would be terrible.
