    My face sometimes makes me feel awful. But I guess the biggest thing is seeing cis-gendered females. They make me feel incredibly dysphoric...

    - Being directly referred to as male(or female for that matter). I'm not really fussed about pronouns(for now) but hearing comments like 'you're such a nice young man', as an example, can really make things awkward to a varying degree.

    - I tend to have my moments where, as I mentioned elsewhere, that I really hate having 'gender(ed) parts'; at those times I wish I could just stay clothed forever, or find an axe to chop said parts up.

    - Occasionally when I see others express joy in their bodies; feeling 'their parts are them'.

    I'm able to manage my Dysphoria pretty well, but it still hits me pretty hard when I see other transgender women that have started HRT(I haven't started it yet) and are starting to look feminine and have that feminine figure, and I want to be like them... NOW. Sometimes it hits me hard when I look at my hair, because I have a pretty severe receded hair line.

    Everytime my cousin calls me "chica" I just want to curl up and die.

    When people refer to me and one or more of my female friends as "ladies".

    Now I've got another item, to add to my list.

    18. Receiving girly birthday presents, from people that should know better. But at least I can give this stuff to other folks, and that will make me feel a bit better.

    There are a ton of things but the worst couple are:
    ~Shark week, oh god
    ~Being misgendered or referred to by my birth name.
    ~It's especially shitty when I get read as female by strangers, though it's happening less often now.
    ~Taking off the binder
    ~Did I mention shark week?

    Being Agender, I don't really feel dysphoria a lot because I lack the gender identity to be dysphoric about. However I do feel a bit dysphoric whenever I notice my square jawline, which happens a lot while shaving facial hair

    When people close to me that I'm out to misgender me (not as bad with kids though, I know they often don't know any better). Like today, my mom did. Forest - cry. Just got over it, recuperating now...

    Do you experience it with any other body (parts)? Like where you wish they weren't there, etc.?

    When I see an attractive woman who is off-the-rails and wasting her potential. Like those nutty celebrity women Who have a lot of money and no common sense. I think "I could do better with what she has"

    Or when I meet a Transman who is/was an attractive as a female.. I think "Too bad we can't simply switch bodies"

    I have a new one
    Got a text today from my aunt after I told her my brother was annoying me and I felt like killing him (we all have those days with siblings/family members)
    her words were "You're to pretty for jail." Kind of made me realize that being called pretty/gorgeous/beautiful makes me feel..not sure what word to use..uneasy maybe? But I've never had a problem being called handsome or cute.

    The thing i'm most disphoric about is body and facial hair, really hate it.
    Further i absolutely don't like my body (especially my genitals and the lack of breasts..)
    but the disphoria about that is something that gets worse some days and less on other days.
    And i really don't like to see myself on pictures or in the mirror because i look very manly

    I hate how people call me female pronouns without a secound thought. Yes I have female born body. But I consider myself gender netural and don't want to be called any gender pronouns. I pefer they or them. But Id honestly rather get called male pronouns because my feminity is something I'm so unsettled with. My hips annoy the shit out of me, I'm skinny but they still stick out way to much for my liking. I want to be straight up and down.

    My chest
    My junk
    My birth name
    My face (SO GOD DAMN ROUND)
    My voice (though it is considerably deeper than it used to be)
    She/she's/her
    People apologising for calling me a male
    Having to go to school
    My body
    Being put into gender-split classes and feeling really weird in either classes
    myself in general
    Being told I'm not "masculine enough" or "trans enough"
