My handwriting's super messy. If you can't read it I can type it out, just let me know
Dysphoria feels different for everyone, and even within the same person depending on the day. Today was actually a decent day dysphoria wise: I was pretty disconnected from my body so I didn't have much body dysphoria, and no one named me or gendered me, avoiding social dysphoria. But still, walking the school halls, I has heavily aware of that fact that I was perceived as a girl despite me being a boy. That buzz is always there. On worse days, being misgendered feels like a punch to the gut. Seeing my hips makes my skin crawl. Reminders of my birth sex make me vaguely nauseous. Ill skip meals because my dysphoria makes me too nauseous to safely eat sometimes. Dysphorias a bitch
I'm glad today was a good day. Trans people have much higher rates of eating disorders which makes sense but sucks obviously. There are some helpful resources here: https://www.TransFolxFightingEDs.org/resources
