    Hey guys, just wanted a bit of advice. I dont Identify with being trans but I've been having a rough time recently, I go through stages of being absaloutly disgusted with myself, can't look at my body/breasts etc. I get really angry about it and end up withdrawing from most people, its eaisier with a binder (and bought a packer a while back) and i feel a bit better. But then I go through other stages of being fine with everything and feeling fine

    Are you questioning your gender? Because if you are then there are a lot of things you can do to figure it out, by experimenting with gender expression and such.

    It sounds like body dysphoria that comes and goes. A lot of times dysphoria can be a fluctuating experience for a lot of people.

    For example even if I identify as male 100% of the time, for weeks I might be okay with my body and feel that male-ness reaffirmed when I look in the mirror and then something triggers my dysphoria and then im dysphoric for days and weeks at a time. During these times its hard for me to look at my bare chest at all.

    ... Hope this helped. :slight_smile:
