Nah, that usually doesn't happen in books. It's the other way around usually. Why would the smart and powerful male want to be the frail and petty female? It wouldn't make sense. It wouldn't be genuine.

Not quite what you're looking for, but this is the journals of a man who believed that God was waging a personal war with him and trying to turn him into a woman. Absolutely fascinating. One of the earliest analyzed examples of modern schizophrenia.

that wont make you a woman, you will be intersex and statistically your life will be so horrible that you will kill yourself.

But instead of addressing the real environmental issue behind your discomfort you're going to try on a fashionable band-aid, find that "cure" worse than the disease, and then you're going to become just another miserable statistic.

I'm sorry. I wish it weren't like this.

Lmao, dude. I knew I wanted to be a girl since I was 8. Anyway, you're probably right. I haven't even reached my 20s yet and I'll probably commit suicide in a few years. Life is too difficult when you have gender dysphoria.

allow me to show you how wrong you are
>no pretending to be strong
if you work out you don't have to pretend, you can actually BE STRONG (unlike natty women)
>no pressure to be rich/independent
have you not noticed third wave feminism? it's all about the independent girl, + women are intensely pressured toward success, it's just that their main avenue towards that success is profitable marriage. Women rank themselves by how much they can get for their sex.
>dressing up is good
so too for men, suits and shiny shoes nga
>people come to you
You've only ever been a powerless male, otherwise you wouldn't think this. Probably you think the easiest path for you to power is femaleness- but that's really dumb wishful thinking inspired by laziness.
>having emotions doesn't make you gay
st8 bullshit. Emotional expression as a man is fine as long as you do it right.
>>
OP you dont have gender dysphoria, you have gender identity distorder. Your brain is sick, not your body. The modern paradigm of psychology doesnt agree woth me, but it is stifled by the political climate. There is preventative medicine you can take to prevent gender dysphoria and as long as you stay on it you will be fine. The cosplay surgery will only make you look like a freak and your depression will get worse because you know you wil never "pass" and be accepted by society as a true woman. Even the liberals who put you on a pedestal will make you feel like a freak because they wilp idolise you instead of just treat you like a regular girl.

I can appreciate the realness of your condition and it is neuro chemically observable, but it is a sick desire and indulging in it firther will only bring you more pain. Recognise that something is wrong with your brain and try to get ot fixed.

the environmental issue is the mass poisoning of the water supply by xenoestrogens. You've been exposed to these foreign hormones since you've been drinking water aka birth. Everyone has, some people are simply unluckier than others, and are more susceptible or are exposed to higher concentrations of xenoestrogens (due to proximity to industrial plants or whatever)

I'm not trying to pick on you here I'm genuinely fucking upset about this problem and especially how little people talk about it.

you're welcome. you could consider androgenic steroids as a way to counteract the feminizing forces in the environment, but I guess you'd have to rethink your stance towards masculinity (id wager if you had the proper hormonal set-up for masculine success you'd enjoy it) but really I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

>be strong for real
I don't want to be strong. I want to be weak and soft. Muscles and the jock asshole meme is tired and annoying. I've never liked anything masculine or male.

>third wave
Yes I think it's a tragedy, and I wonder what they think is going to happen by making the entire country male. I would love to be a house husband, or see an acceptance of femininity from anywhere in society.

>dress up
Dressing up for guys is boring, especially in the US. Europeans tend to have a nicer style than us, so I try to copy their style. I would love to wear girl's clothes but I realize they don't and never will fit male contours. Better to be a girly man than a disaster.

>Powerless male
It may sound extremely beta or whatever, but I hate having to fake being anything all the time. I wear the alpha attitude and it definitely works like you say, but... I dunno, I'm soft and I don't think being soft is bad.

I think there's a critical age where you need to have a strong role model to teach you what to aim for as a man. I was surrounded by women, and all of my interactions with men at that formative age were negative. I identify with girls in cultures that still do feminine and I always have.
