I’ve been a cross dresser nearly my whole life. I've only recently stopped.
Q: What are the strangest things you feel dysphoric about?
Dysphoria itself is sometimes strange to me, so it’s hard for me to judge the relative strangeness of various aspects. So here’s an incomplete list…
Q: Would it be wrong if I legally changed my gender to female in order to get free drinks and cover waived on “ladies night”?
Maybe just recognize that being transgender isn’t something to make light of. And pay for your own damn drinks - as someone else pointed out - it will cost you a whole lot less money.
Well-behaved trans people seldom make history
If your support of me is conditioned on me behaving a certain way, then thanks, but no thanks!
Q: Why do people use the phrase “gender confirmation surgery” to refer to transition-related surgeries? Plus, post-surgical regret, ethics, and is it necessary?
There are many names for the set of surgeries used to address the physical dysphoria that some transgender people face. Some are problematic.
Q: What do people misunderstand about gender dysphoria?
Many people think that a choice is involved - that transgender people choose to be transgender, and therefore somehow bring Gender Dysphoria upon themselves. This is a mistaken belief.
Q: Why did you transition from male to female? Do trans people set benchmarks for their transitions? What does it feel like to be fully transitioned?
Short answer: because I am a woman. Plus two more questions...
Q: How early do transgender individuals know they are transgender? Do transgender people feel like they were born the wrong sex or the wrong gender?
Every person’s experience is different; there isn’t a universal answer to this question. Further, there are different ways to interpret the question which can lead to vastly different answers.
Q: Do cross-dressers have gender dysphoria?
Yes, but probably not the way you think
Q: What was the hardest part of admitting you’re transgender? Why does being trans suck? Why is there more confusion about gender?
The hardest part of admitting I am transgender was admitting it to myself! Telling other people was easy. Plus two more questions!
