Lately, my gender dysphoria has been fluctuating like crazy. Because of that I often feel like I'm not trans enough or like my gender identity isn't valid. I feel like if I ever express my fluctuating dysphoria to others Ill be called out for being "fake" or "not real".
It's normal for dysphoria to fluctuate. I remember how much it fluctuated when I was pre-T and since I've been on hormones for a few months, it goes up and down. Sometimes it moves to a new area or is stronger based on your situation. For example, when people are waiting to get on HRT or waiting for surgery often their dysphoria is increased. I'm not sure why that is, but I know since my top surgery has a date (next year) it's almost all I can think about. There is no such thing as being trans enough. Everyone goes through a unique journey on their transitions. You are valid.
In my opinion, it's not the dysphoria that makes you trans, it's the euphoria. If the way you identify is what makes you comfortable, then that's that, and no one else gets to tell you how you feel.
Some have very little to no dysphoria some have soul crushing dysphoria. Others are in between. It's not a prerequisite to be trans to have dysphoria. You're you and the only one who can define you is you.
There is no such thing as not "trans enough." I don't know who throws these terms around. You are trans and you are valid. It is normal for your feelings of dysphoria to flucuate. I've been on hormones for 7 months now, I still experience dysphoria once in awhile. My best advice is stop, take a deep breath, and do something to soothe yourself (listen to music, write, read, etc.). You are valid, you are unique, and you are you. And you are trans enough. Don't worry about what other people think, all that matters is at the end of the day is that you are happy with yourself. Take some stock in where you are and realize that you're not alone. Others (including myself) have gone through what you're going through.
