@ikea_femme I came out 3 years ago or so. Started hrt 6-7 months ago. My body image was terrible at start and improved gradually. But, I still was crippled with dysphoria. After 20 days of hrt, my breasts started to grow. It wasn't noticeable except for me, and because of the pain, mainly. It led me to... love my body. I started taking pictures of myself, and many nudes (although shy at first). Shared them, listenened to kind people. Now I feel better. Dysphoria is still here. Sometimes, coming like a tidal wave and engulfing every nice thoughts I can have about my body. But, I fight. And it gets, really, better.
thinking about dysphoria, question Afficher plus
@Morgane Thanks for your input. We're in really different situations (I started HRT nine months ago, went full-time ~6 months ago). I was able to get to an informed consent clinic shortly after I recognized my dysphoria. I imagine you're probably more familiar with the feelings than I am, since I more recently accepted them for what they are and learned what to name them.
I hope you keep getting good results on HRT. I've found it all so validating. I feel like I'm easier on myself below the neck, but with the right hair and glasses, I do like my face.
