Does gender dysphoria get worse when you transition/start transitioning
Does gender dysphoria get worse after you transition/start transitioning?
hi I'm questioning whether or not I'm a trans woman and am wondering whether or not gender dysphoria gets worse or more noticeable because the way some trans people talk about it makes it seem the case
I'd argue I mostly see this in relation to bottom dysphoria, where I understand it in relation to looking good in clothes but it seems to me that some people go from "gross I have a dick" to absolute hatred/disgust at it (sorry for the cruse phrasing) is this because as you transition you start focussing on those facets of your appearance more than when you were an egg?
sorry if the way I phrased the question is rude /if the question is rude I'm just trying to further understand dysphoria/the process of transitioning.
