What exactly did the dysphoria feel like?
- well, it felt like i was born as a guy. i was thoroughly convinced that my assigned gender at birth must have been male and that i had a male body and parts that somehow disappeared
"Dysphoria" comes from an ancient Greek word meaning "hard to bear". So... how have you kept going, having to bear it for so long? Basically, how are you, man?
- im better now, i've learned to bear being a "girl" especially with a transphobic family
Which is your favorite "boy" hobby?
- i liked videogames and wrestling
