  • I guess it’s just one of those days :/
    This song does not belong to me, it belongs to the rightful owner(s) (Cavetown)
    Here’s the link to my last video:
    • To Hold Amber - Caveto...
    Lyrics:
    Don't let me see what I am
    cause I can't stand it, no I cant
    I'm coming back round again
    It's been over a year, I thought this was the end
    And now I don't remember comfort
    because what I am is what I'm not
    I don't belong here, it's just hopeless
    Find me a way out if you love me at all
    Don't let me hear what they say
    cause I can't stand it everyday
    I'm thinking that I should leave now
    And I don't think I'm coming back this time
    Cause now I dont remember comfort
    because what I am is what I'm not
    This phantom skin it's weird to live in
    So find me a way out if you love me at all

      @kovuchii Heyyyy, if you cannot get a haircut you could always put your hair in a ponytail or a bun and wear a hat or a baseball cap to make it sorta look like you have shorter hair! I'm not sure about the binder situation though. You could always ask a friend to order online and have it shipped to their house or pick it up on the little amazon box things at stores. If they don't understand gender dysphoria then try explaining it to them or showing them a video on it. Sorry if i couldn't help very much. But good luck~~ Lots of love.

    My mom has reverted back to calling me by my dead name and calling me a girl because she thinks I'm just confused. And I really hurts because I know that who she thinks I am isn't me. I went from being accepted and looking like a guy to being called girl and being seen as one. I can't wait for the day I can leave this house and finally be myself, completely, 100% me.
    Edit: I usually don’t do edits like this but so many people in the replies have been asking, and I don’t have time to reply to all of them. But for anyone wondering, I’m doing... fine now. I’m still not accepted by my family, I don’t think I’ll ever be. I did realize that she was right about one thing though, I’m not a boy. But I’m also not a girl. I’m non-binary, I’m just me.

    Bruh I’m so upset to hear Robbie was forced to come out because some asshole pointed out a post on purpose on tumblr where he used the T slur before he was popular and when he publicly talked about being trans and was just a teen. Some fucking asshole dug into his past and brought this to light and he had to come out in fear of being called transphobic. Forcing someone to come out is not okay and can make them extremely dysphoric and a violation of privacy. All around the situation is horrible, much love to CT we lysm.

    0:20 “I’m coming back round again. It’s been over a year, I thought this was the end” hits hard man. I’m bad with words but for me this symbolizes both dysphoria and anxiety. Like finally breaking free of either feeling and then having it happen again after you thought you had finally gotten rid of it.

      Just know, after a bit you start to learn how to support yourself. After holding up people for a long time your start to apply what you learned from supporting others to supporting yourself.
      It's hard at first, but it gets easier as the time goes by, and it's always a bonus when you get a friend or sibling or just someone who can also help you support you.

    I'm a boy but my parents refuse to accept it. My father just thinks I'm being bratty when I ask him to use my name and pronouns and acts like it's political and infringing on his free speech, and although my mom is a bit better she won't use them (even though I've explained how uncomfortable I am being called a girl). I hate meeting people because they always introduce me with my deadname, sometimes with a "she goes by..." or "she wants to be called..." and anybody who might've called me a boy will follow my parents' example and use she/her. Medically transitioning is completely out of the question until I'm at least 18 and I know my parents are going to hate me for it.
    The concept of being comfortable and happy just seems so foreign. It feels like I'll never be able to have the life or the body I want. I know consciously that that's not true, I know I'll get there eventually, but it's so hard to convince myself of that sometimes.

It wasn't until last year I was able to start testosterone, and things have been much better!(Though my mom constantly tries to tell me I need therapy becuz it's a "big change i'm going through" and i'm depressed etc, but truth is, I haven't been this happy in a long while and if i'm depressed, it's cuz she's constantly putting me down :l She says she's supportive but she can get transphobic in arguments(in particular, especially bad ones. And she always goes too far in even minor arguments so I really don't know how supportive she actually is.) I'm sorry yours aren't and for your sake, I really hope they come around!

      when i had long hair i used to wear it i a pony tail or bun every day and night because i didn’t like to have my hair down. eventually i started getting really bad headaches to the point where i couldn’t even put my head on my pillow. so i told my mom this and how my curly hair was hard to manage and that it was starting to get hot she FINALLY (after 2 years) let me cut my hair. So then she told me to pick a style and it was one i didn’t really like to much but it was good enough. so i got the hair cut and i’m glad i was wearing a mask cause the entire time i was smiling SO MUCH. i ended up styling my hair differently like how i originally wanted it (miles mckenna hair) and now my hair looks like his and i feel successful. but anyway, when i told my mom i want the hair cut she said “you know people will think you’ll look like a lesbian, right” and i just said okay 😂. but fast forward to now, i LOVE my hair and my family will sometimes call me a boy as an insult but secretly it gives me so much confidence ✌️✨

Personally dysphoria just makes me constantly want to cry and hide myself from people when I’m in public. I often have to come home and just cry in my bathroom because of bad dysphoria days. To all my fellow trans people, I wish you all have an amazing day and that all your transitions go well!

      @pajamas don't give up. No matter how deep in a hole you are in, you can always get back up. There's people in your life who care for you. Even though I'm a stranger I really hope the best for you.❤️I myself too deal with dysphoria and I really am terrified of coming out to my family. How I cope with it is think that one day, even if I tell them and they don't love me, I can leave and live the life I want. And block them out completely. I can find someone to love and understand me. And I can finally be free. Hope this helps you.

      I made a comment trying to explain dysphoria. It was pretty long, but I’m hoping it’ll help someone somewhere understand our pain, or maybe even their own. I basically talk about how it feels for me, and try to give the best possible understanding I can to anyone who can read three pages of babbling

      Yeah it is absolute hell. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies. I wish this all would just end, that I didnt have to be surrounded by people who call me by my dead name and by she/her pronouns. I have to sit and write thank you letters with my dead name on them. My chest hurts from binding so much, but I cant help but to keep it on because when I feel my chest I cant help but to hide in my room and cry.
      On the bright side, I guess I get to start T when all of this Quarantine is over with.

      Honestly I'm really lucky. My dysphoria isn't all that bad. It's just severe discomfort and at worst a feeling of my body not being mine. But it doesn't really make me cry. Not that bad anyway. It just kinda makes me feel hopeless. Mainly when ppl misgender me. Cuz it feels so impossible that I'll get treatment or be able to transition.

    I literally just had the biggest dysphoria-induced breakdown day of my life. First, i had a panic attack because my grandma took my binder without telling me and even though i *tried* to push the panic attack back, it didnt work. Then, i had a bout of really bad voice dysphoria so bad i refused to talk. And now im sitting here, listening to this, hating my feminine body and crying because 4 years is a long time to wait until i can get out of my parents house and into a supportive environment...
    Update: I'm almost 17. My parents are still unsupportive, but I'm out as trans and I'm much happier now. It does get better! There are people who love and support you. Keep going, don't close your eyes just before the flowers bloom.

I know nobody is going to read this but if you are and you feel like you can't continue anymore, trust me it gets better, sure you might be unhappy and dysphoric, but it just takes time, that's what I told myself while i had long hair and I still tell myself that to this day, but don't give up because I believe in you and people love you

      Thank you. I came out to my family two weeks ago (I've known I'm trans for a while, but I was always to afraid to say), and my family said I was too young to know (I'm 16). I just can't help but thinking of going off to college and cutting all my hair off and getting a binder and buys myself boys clothes and coming back home as Alex, the son, grandson, brother. Sometimes it feels so close, but other days I can't even imagine it happening because I get so depressed about not being able to express myself that I don't want to get out of bed.
      I'll hold on though, I'll make it out, the light at the end of the tunnel is gonna be my future self wearing the most repulsive ugly Hawaiian shirt with dress pants and a silver box chain dangling around my neck with a pair of hipster glasses frames opening my family's front door shouting "Hello, I'm back from college!" in the manliest voice possible.

    In my opinion dysphoria is one of the worst pains there is. And only a small portion of the people in the world have to experience it. Though it doesn’t hurt physically the amount of discomfort your mind is put through is horrible. My dysphoria doesn’t give me a break. Never. When I’m older I’m going on t, when I can afford it I’m having top surgery, and maybe even bottom, I hope so anyway..

      I can only explain dysphoria for me as painful. Like the panic and anxiety of being hurt and knowing you're hurt, but being nearly completely unable to find where the wound is- as if you'd tripped and fell and you know you're bleeding and you're scared that it'll get worse, but there's no wound, just that intense panic, and every time you hear your dead name or dead pronouns, it's like another shard of bone shoved into your skin, but you can't find the wound. It's misery.

      I would actually challenge that since I'm fairly certain most people experience dysphoria in some form or another, certainly not the same dysphoria as you but no experience is felt the same way by anyone anyway. I don't identify as trans but I probably could, I just don't want to for a number of reasons, and having talked about this to a lot of people in a lot of situations I think transness is just an inherent part of being human in the society we live in. No one really knows what being a boy or a girl feels like, it's just that for trans people the word they were assigned doesn't fit their experiences with the world or themself in such a strong way that they have to pick a different one or they won't be able to function. The word they pick also depends on their experiences with themself and the world around them, as does the ways in which they change outwardly to fit that word. Basically it's just a whole tangled mess of perceptions and assumptions and labels and requirements set by your subconscious in response to the information it receives, and that's something most people understand, some more than others.

    I'm a trans guy, and the thing that makes me the most dysphoric isn't my height, chest, voice, or even how stupidly wide my hips are. It's cis boys.
    I'm aware I'm feminine, and whenever I'm around masculine cis guys it makes me realize how much I don't act like an actual guy. I speak femininely, dress femininely, walk femininely, and occasionally paint my nails, and sometimes it makes me feel like I'm not trans enough. Like I'm not trying hard enough to pass.
    A while ago, I went to the bathroom a minute or two before the bell rang, and it rang before I was able to finish up and leave. The bathroom almost instantly flooded with boys, and the moment I opened the stall door I just... froze. Froze, and panicked. When I finally managed to make myself go wash my hands and leave, I heard some guy in the hallway say to his friend, "There was just a girl in the boy's bathroom", and I practically ran to my bus, and almost started crying on the way home. It hurt, a lot.
    tl;dr: feminine trans guys are still trans, please respect our pronouns :(
    EDIT: wow thank you guys all for your support, since posting this I've started to identify as non-binary, using he/they(/possibly it?) pronouns and the last two times I've confused cis guys, instead of getting upset about it, I just laughed instead. Just a little while ago, some guy in the locker room said to his friend about me, "That's her. Er.. them. Er..... it." I'm aware he was trying to get under my skin, but I enjoyed it more than I really should have. :)

    I'm listening to this, relating to it in such a personal way. I got my hair cut short and bought my own binder because no one else will do it. I'm lucky, though. There are people who can't do any of that because of so many in their life who won't support them. To all of you out there who are in that situation, I want you to know that your feelings are valid and that despite the current situation, you will transition to the gender that you feel you are later in life. But until then, know that a random person on the internet is here to talk and is wishing you well on your transition.

    I'm always wondering if I really am trans, I don't know if I am or not and it scares the hell out of me, I know what I want tho, and what I want I'll never have.
    Its so confusing, when I wear my binder it's never flat enough, so I stopped, I just deal with the sinking pain in my chest whenever I look in the mirror, I don't want to deal with it, it's hard and hurts most of the time. But I fear I'll always live in this body and always with this torment. I fear I'll never be accepted.

    So, ouch. Reading all of these comments really fucking hurts. Hi, I'm Ryan. I am a transgender male. I use he/him pronouns. I don't have an unfortunate story, honestly. Most people accept me. My mother got me my first ever binder today. That was the first time I've felt genuine happiness in... a really long time. My dysphoria was killing me. I was super depressed, and then I got it. I got my binder. From my sweet, amazing, beautiful, supporting mother.
    My stepmother and father support me. My mother and stepmother are I think the only ones trying when it comes to names and pronouns, but it really helps. My grandmother accepts me more or less. She is extremely homophobic and transphobic. We once had an argument when she found out I was in the LGBTQ+ community. (She didn't know which part. I basically outed myself because they were being really homophobic and I snapped. So, yeah. That happened.)
    I just wanted to say that it will get better. I've heard that so many times. I've gotten pissed off at that statement *so many times.* But it does. When I got my hair cut, when I got my first binder, when I get my voice to go deeper naturally, when someone called me sir. That all made me really euphoric. I went from being super dysphoric and sobbing every hour literally yesterday to being really happy with myself and accepting myself.
    Thanks for listening to this. It really helps. Now here's some tips:
    1. *_DO NOT_* bind with ace bandages. I'd heard this so many times, but I still wanted to do it. Please, don't. If you can, wear two sports bras.
    2. Take off your binder at a maximum of eight hours! No matter what you're binding with, only do it for eight hours max!
    3. Take a shower with the lights off.
    This one is for dysphoria. I did it today for the first time and I actually enjoyed my shower for the first time ever.
    4. If your ribs are bruised, stop binding!
    Maybe not all together, but research what you're doing wrong! Because that could actually hurt you!
    And lastly, this is a message.
    If you're a trans man, know that you are a very valid, handsome man.
    If you're a trans woman, know that you are a very valid, beautiful woman.
    If you're non-binary, know that you are a very valid, attractive human being.

The community loves all of you 💕 stick around and become the guy or girl you dreamed of. Just remember every day you’re closer to starting T or going on oestrogen. One day closer to getting your surgeries. One day closer to a waiter at a restaurant asking you “what can I get you miss” or “what can I get you sir?” You’re one day closer becoming who you really are. The whole community is with you and we love and support you. 💕💖❤️

    to all my nb/trans friends in the comments:
    i am sitting here, after two years, wearing my binder and listening to a song thats helped me so much. having a binder doesnt erase all my dysphoria about being afab. i still want top surgery even if im far from it (cause im a minor) and im not allowed to wear masc/androgyne clothes. but you are getting closer to being who you really are every day. even if you dont know it. you'll transition. youll look back at years before and be amazed at all the progress youve made.
    having a binder is just one of the first steps. its small but it can sure make you feel on top of the world at times. so even if becoming who you are seems distant, hold on. please. people love you, and if you wanna see the times where you can look in the mirror with happiness, you should stay.

    she also told me we would work on getting a binder and cutting my hair a bit shorter (my hair is shoulder length right now because when i got my haircut all of the hints i gave her that i wanted a more masculine hairstyle just flew over her head, so she told me to not get one that went over shoulder length)

    also, pro tip for people playing this on ukulele. the plucking pattern is goes like this:
    (the number is the number of the string)
    3,2, and then 1 and four at the same time.
    you play this plucking pattern for most of the song. when i was looking for tutorials on how to play this, they all said to strum it but you can clearly hear some picking and i figured out the plucking pattern and as far as i know, im the only one that knows it. you can google the chords and stuff but that pattern is really fun to do and if you're trying to get better at fingerpicking, it's perfect because it's so simple but sounds so cool.

    For everyone in the comments saying they're not trans but can relate. Dysphoria is something anyone can go through and comes in many forms. It's to be so insecure and not feel connected to a part of you. I'm a cis female and don't care about my gender but I have facial dysphoria. The most commonly known form of dysphoria is gender dysphoria. Those of you going through this are so brave! Everyone here is :)

    "Find me a way out if you love me at all" is a line that hits particularly hard. I'm worried my grandmother (current legal guardian) won't buy me a binder because she doesn't understand the severity of my dysphoria, and that the rest of my support system will respond accordingly. I have one picked out, but I'm worried that she won't want to spend 40+ dollars because it's 'not important', even though it's expensive because it's safer than the cheep ones. I don't know if she'll respond like that, but the fear is there. I'm asking her today. Fingers crossed!
    EDIT: She said yes! It's coming in the mail!

My family often time makes fun of lgbtq+ people. And everytime they do it’s another pang of dysphoria. And they expect me to be this perfect girl. My mom treated me like her doll to dress up for the longest time. It just recently stopped like a year ago. I am not out to many people. But i know if I come out to them im gonna be thrown out of the house. So the plan is to tell them when I am on my own. Its so many years until then, but i gotta do it for my safety.

      But for one thing, you don't actually need dysphoria to be trans. Dysphoria is defined as distress related to your birth sex, and you don't need to feel that way in order to be trans
      Also, whether you transition or not is up to you, whether you're dysphoric or not. Do what feels right to YOU. Just be aware of any changes that can occur, and if you don't want those changes, perhaps you can find other options
      And don't worry about "embarrassing" anyone. Every trans person has different experiences. If any trans person is embarrassed of you based on how you present, what your gender is, or whether or not you choose to transition, they have some internal transphobia they need to sort through

      And spreading the idea that being trans requires dysphoria bars questioning people from figuring themselves out, and keeps dysphoric trans people feom seeking transition because we worry about not being "trans enough."

      As for the differing brains thing...I have a degree in human psychology. The thing about men and women having differemt brains is actually false. There are differences in EVERY brain, and while some can generally be attributed to different genders, this has less to do with nature, and more to do with the environment (an example of this would be the way that emotions are processed. Men tend to show less of an emotional response if they were raised in a conservative family. Those raised in more open-minded families tended to have "female" emotional responses!)
      I can also say that, while the research you mentioned is indeed being studied currently, it's not for the reasons you were led to believe. These studies are being done as a way to legally deny healthcare to those whose bodies don't match the "gender" of their brain. This will lead to eugenics if it goes to far, and I am very against it
