    Is it normal for dysphoria to have different levels of intensity I guess? Like some days it doesn't bother you that much and other days you really hate yourself and want to die?

    Yeah, that is pretty normal. Mine shifts from day to day. That is what threw me off fo so long, it would go away and it would make me question everything again.

    Yes. There are some days where I question if transition is too "extreme" and others where I'm not sure transition will be enough. Fluctuation is really common. It sucks but you learn to enjoy the ride.

    For me, it's more like sometimes I feel like an Almond Joy and sometimes I feel like a Mounds. (Almond Joy's got nuts, Mounds don't)

    I’ll echo what they said above. I fluctuate minute to minute sometimes! I’ve heard that this is a huge part of what gets relieved when you transition
