how did yall deal with dysphoria early in transition?
Hi! my name is Ashley, and i’m 5 months on estrogen.
lately i’ve been struggling with dysphoria very heavily. as much as i try to pass, i find that i still look like a man and it feels soul crushing.
even tho my levels are good, the fact that im 21 makes me feel like my age has somehow stunted how effective estradiol acts on my body. i compare myself sometimes to transwomen who are 5 months in too and i can’t help but think that they’re a lot more feminine than i am and that estrogen for me hasn’t been super effective.
im trying to remain hopeful for the future but admittedly i think ive hit a low point and i just wanted to reach out to see if any of yall have experienced the same thing and had any advice.
ty for taking the time to read this<3
