A lot of us experience dysphoria about a lot of things. Personally, one of my biggest points of dysphoria is my facial/body hair and masculine sounding voice.

We believe this should be a community where all trans people are welcome to give and receive support on their journey.

Feel free to rant about what's been bothering you and try and comment on someone else's comment with some encouragement! It can really go a long way to brightening someone's day!

Love to all my trans brothers, sisters, enbies and all other flavors of people who live as they are ❤️

Im completely distraught anytime after I have to go into the office. I still go as old me there and over time it progressively gets harder and harder. Come back home and start tearing up and it kind of spirals from there. Not sure what to do because it's definitely not a place I can come out at

That sucks. People not seeing you for who you are can be soul-crushing. Is there a chance you can get a different job at a better place?

I'm in a similar situation. The only place I'm not out yet is work and I'm terrified of that inevitability because it's a very male dominated workplace/field.

My therapist mentioned talking to HR in complete confidence before talking to anyone else that way everything is already known and they can help direct me on best approach. Is that maybe something you could do?
