my dude, if thats you on the picture, you are at least "still" very attractive.

Thats great. Life saving is priority.

same here. also having everyone around your telling that is not helpfull

Thats great. Sorry to hear fear held you back.

I can totally understand that.

I feel the same way but in the opposite direction. I don't have many friends but the ones I do have I cherish. It's sad that we sometimes have to walk away from people we care about just so we can find ourselves

That's a common fear to have too.

So well said.

Thanks for sharing.

Fear is a warning sign - ignoring warning signs indiscriminately leads to tragic consequences.

@@LeelooMinai that can be true but in my experience most people are afraid of far more than it's healthy to be.

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you and so glad they are helpful.

I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and that means any discrepancies in the Bible are decided by me. Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. Mathew19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused (it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused). Those that choose to live like Eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven are bisexual people that choose to partners of the same sex but opposite in gender. Gender is determined IN YOUR BRAIN and AT BIRTH. Male or female is determined in your brain. Anyone who says different won't be here much longer. I have an identical twin sister that is female in gender. I am male in gender. By the way, anyone teaching the LIE of monetary tithing, collecting money for ministering in any way whatsoever, including worship groups, won't be here much longer either. Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8-11 is prophetic instruction for the thieving church leaders to return the money they were never supposed to take and God will end Covid and throw open the floodgates of heaven. All major churches around the world have known this since August of 2020 but THEY LOVE MONEY SO MUCH they intentionally CHOSE TO KILL everyone with Covid instead. P.S. The 2 witnesses are righteousness and judgement, not actual people. There is no ONE antichrist - made up by people that worship money. World peace is coming. Prophets said my preaching will lead to an universal income and wealth redistribution through the banks. The rapture taught in the fake churches is all LIES. Being taken is not good as Jesus comes back to rule. God's people are caught up spiritually. All evil and corruption will soon cease to exist. James 5:2 The wealth of the rich will only be used as evidence to burn their flesh. You cannot be a Christian, sit on all kinds of money, watch people suffer an starve in the world, and choose to do nothing about it. And the soul does NOT enter the body until birth. The Bible says that being alive requires "the breath of life." It requires breathing. God does NOT consider a fetus living. God is pro-choice.

Skepticism beats Nihilism and Pessimism.

Hi and thank you! Dysphoria is incredibly unpredictable and has zero logic to it. Thank you for supporting me by getting my book and if you enjoy it, please do leave an amazon review.

Good for you! Bravo!

Sorry to hear of your fears.

Did you feel invisible in public as a male? I do. That's something that will probably change when I start presenting in public and it might be a hard thing to get used to. I don't like being looked at. Weird I know.

Oftenly privileged people cannot see the ways in which they are privileged When you lose your privileges, you will notice a lot of things you took for normal are in fact privileges you had but never noticed they were privileges. For example, men will interrupt you while you speak more often, men will often not take a "no" from you, you will not feel safe anymore in a taxi, and the list of gendered male privileges goes on and on.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing and I wish you all the best.

I did this exact same thing pre-HRT. It really helped and kept me busy while I worked on getting my meds. Also, there medications for hair growth, search HIMS, I had a bald spot and receding hairline and within 6 months my hair began growing back!

@@spellsong666 I will look into that. I've heard the HRT may help hair grow back as well

@Kira I want to remind you that if you know how to navigate this life in gender assigned at birth you will know how to in your true gender. Sure there will be a learning curve and things to adapt to , but the main aspects; drive, tenacity, ambition, charisma, mindset, go attitude etc will be there and if anything will be enhanced because now you are even more confident in yourself.

@@spellsong666 Isn't HIMS just finasteride plus minoxidil? Finasteride is actually one of the more commonly used T-blockers, but it's also prescribed to cis men to regrow hair. It works the same way either way, but when it's used to regrow hair, the feminizing effects are considered side effects.

@@Kira-zm7vy I've done a lot of the same things you have, only it was losing weight that led to my realizing I still had underlying body image issues, which I later learned were gender dysphoria after I came out. I had also started shaving my head in my 20s because I knew I would eventually lose my hair, and I later realized it might have been due to unrecognized gender dysphoria, because I did not want to age into the body of an old man. Unfortunately it's probably too late for me to grow my hair out anymore, due to years of depression and elevated cortisol levels. Hopefully you'll have better luck with that than I will.

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing. While I agree, I think there are also certain hidden privileges that give one natural advantage over another.

I think you are taking things for granted, oftenly privileged people cannot see the ways in which they are privileged. When you lose your privileges, you will notice a lot of things you took for normal are in fact privileges you had but never noticed they were privileges. For example, men will interrupt you while you speak more often, men will often not take a "no" from you, you will not feel safe anymore in a taxi, and the list of gendered male privileges goes on and on.

@@ws6778 I don't know why you felt the need to say this to me. You have no idea what my life is like. I said I had no interest in taking advantage of privileges. That's all.

Yes for sure. I know because I carry that privilege.

@@DRZPHD yeah.. ahem erm me too 👀
