    I've been questioning my gender since June, having signs before that. I think I'm finally starting to work things out, starting to get a grip on things. For a while I thought I might just be super butch or something, but now I see that that isn't the case. Transmasculine sounds really good right now. A little affirmation would be great, though. Just some people saying they know what I'm going through... I feel very alone right now.

    -My body dysphoria comes in waves. One day I'll just want to curl up and cry, others I'll just be uncomfortable looking at the mirror at my breasts.

    -General dysphoria. Being called she/her bothers me, I like he/him or even they much, much better. I've gotten used to calling myself he in my head.

    -Tried packing earlier. It made me feel more real :slight_smile:

    -Now seeing myself as male when I look in the mirror. I try to focus on positives, like my hair, when the dysphoria isn't too crippling.

    -Binding, taking pleasure in the chest restriction because it's making me flatter.

    -I dressed as a guy for celebrity day at school (pics in my album) and man, it felt amazing! Just so right, like a puzzle piece had finally clicked into place.

    -I've been working on mannerisms.

    -Cody. Such a nice name... :wink:

    Woah, 600th post O.O

    Ah, I know the feeling! I love being called they and I'm still trying to get used to referring to myself as that. It's kind of difficult when everyone refers to me as "she/her" everyday. Even though I'm agender I HATE being refereed to as "she/her", I would hate being referred to as "he/him" as well, (they/them, just yessss), but I'd much rather someone refer to me as "he" than "she". Dunno why I despise it so much.

    Also it's nice to see you're becoming more and more happy by each day. Congrats!

    Man I'm really happy for you ! That is so great that everything is falling into place for you :grin:

    I feel yah, on how these changes make everything feel better and right. Like for me I've started having people call me by my chosen name and use "he/him" and whatnot and it is the most liberating feeling. It feels Right. And that is such a great feeling.

    I'm nonbinary, maybe transmasculine, and I don't like being called "she." I didn't always dislike it, but now it just makes me cringe. I prefer gender neutral pronouns like "they" or "xe," but I don't mind as much being called "he," even before I found out I was nonbinary. I hate seeing my breasts in the mirror :v I'd bind more often if I could; my limit is up to 6 hours now. I feel like crying out of joy when I hear people use my correct name and pronouns. So far only friends, people I've just met, and one family member are doing it. Hopefully the rest will get it eventually.
