    I had my first taste of dysphoria today. At about 1 am last night I transitioned instantly from demifemale to male (I am AMAB). This was the first time, I think, in a long time that I was male. The energy was intense. But the longer I stayed male, the more uncomfterable I became. I didn't like how I felt. It wasn't too bad, but I did not like the extra aggression and overall "maleness" that I felt. It took all day, but I am back to feeling more female.

    I am honestly scared about times when it could take longer than one day. If I stay male for longer than that... I guess I will have to cross that bridge when it comes. Will there be anything I can do to lessen the discomfort, or will I just have to grit my teeth and bare it?
