    Does any other trans people have days where their dysphoria isn't bad (or not as bad as other days)?

    I'm asking because there's some days where my dysphoria isn't bad, or I don't care that I have (or don't have) certain parts of my body. But when I think of the future, I see myself as a man, with a wife and a couple kids. I don't know, I'm just really confused. :confused:

    There are days were my dysphoria isn't as bad as it is on others, how prevelant and strong my dysphoria is usually depends on my mood and can tend to flucuate when my mood does, but it's always sort of simmering there in the background as well; reminding me that I am a girl and that my male body is not the real me.

    It's pretty normal for dysphoria to fluctuate, I've heard the same from lots of trans people.

    YESSSS. Happens all the time. Dysphoria fluctuates like crazy for me. What I'm doing really has an effect as well. It's completely normal.

    I've wondered the same thing I'm really glad to see this is a common thing. I'm glad I'm not the only one whose dysphoria is different day to day.
