Obviously I don't care why anyone else transitions.
But personally, I wouldn't do it if I was comfortable in my own skin. If I didn't feel like I hated being a guy/in a guy's body I wouldn't transition. (if I'm answering that question right? I feel like I'm missing something. Honestly I don't know why someone would transition if they weren't feeling dysphoria, even if that's a thing I've vaguely heard of)
It's all good. Sorry if I came off cold. I didn't mean it that way.
Just like a lot of people transition because of dysphoria, there are those who transition because of euphoria. They don't hate their current body or gender, but they like another one better.
No you didn't! You've been incredibly empathic to me.
It's just a confusing question for me, because most of my experience is dysphoria, not euphoria. If someone asked what color the sky was, I'd be confused and wonder why they were asking, kinda the same thing here.
Very jealous of those people :sicko-wistful: that sounds nice.
You might just feel a little more euphoria every day
Sometimes it just seems like a difference in how people use "dysphoria". Some people feel their feelings are not severe enough to count (so... impostor syndrome?). Not saying that's always the case - I'm sure some people are cool enough to just transition because they want to despite social pressures otherwise. Either way, its not a good idea to define identities based partly on minimum levels of suffering or use that to gatekeep access to services, drugs, etc.
Personally, I feel too out-of-touch with my emotions to call anything I experience either dysphoria or euphoria. Even pain from physical injuries (from stubbed toes and severe cramps to broken bones) is an emotion that confuses me. So, I sorta feel like I'm taking HRT on a whim even if I do know I do experience dysphoria on some level.
