I've been an idiot. I could have discovered my dysphoria much earlier.

I am someone who's dysphoria is best described as biochemical. Today I was falling down an Internet rabbit hole and landed on the use of androgenic anabolic steroids in athletes. Decided to check if there was research done on female athletes.

Behold: the symptoms of biochemical dysphoria in cisgender women! Turns out lady brains don't appreciate testosterone. I'm pretty sure reading that a couple of decades ago would have sent my life in a very different direction.
