i saw someone ask this for trans women so ... trans men/transmascs only: what's the moment you broke your egg? what's the moment you realized that actually all these thoughts/feelings/desires meant... you were trans?
im waiting for a year+ on T to do the classic before/after pic but like, im There in my own eyes in pictures now
so if youre waiting for it to be the right time and there's any possibility of you doing this safely.... YOLO and the absence of dysphoria is a different way of being

Hieroglyphics with translation texts below them that reads I made my body evolve through my own effectiveness. I am the one who made me. I built myself as I wished, according to my heart.
Just reminded myself how hard the ending of Coffin Text Spell 714 goes
of course then you have to face up to all the problems that piled up while you existed at a remove from yourself & the world but like. im alive in a way i just wasnt a year ago
The Gender Dysphoria Bible β’ English (EN) - β’ A sense of detachment or estrangement from your own thoughts, feelings, or body: "I know I have feelings but I don't feel them" β’ Feeling split into two parts, with one going through the motions of participating in the world and one observing quietly: "There is this body that walks around and somebody else just watches β’ Feeling as if you have an "unreal" or absent self: "| have no self" β’ Experiencing the world as distant, dreamlike, foggy, lifeless, colorless, artificial, like a picture with no depth, or less than real β’ Being absorbed in yourself and experiencing a compulsive self-scrutiny or extreme rumination β’ Having an ongoing and coherent dialog with yourself β’ Feeling like a veil or glass wall separates you from the world β’ Emotional or physical numbness, such as a feeling of having a head filled with cotton β’ Lacking a sense of agency - feeling flat, robotic, dead, or like a "zombie" β’ Inability to imagine things β’ Being able to think clearly, but feeling as if some essential quality is lacking from your thoughts or experience of the world β’ A sense of disconnectedness from life, impeding you from creative and open involvement with the world
i checked out the gender dysphoria bible at genderdysphoria.fyi and was like
wait i thought these feelings were just. being a person? maybe being a writer?
turns out a lot of it uhhh goes away
my ass & boypussy in agony after 30min
ill tell you what helps with this tho, since starting transitioning ive actually started living in and inhabiting my body, caring how it looks, if it lives (and if i do). i want to shape it and feed it and water it well and no longer feel like a brain in a shitty jar i hate. being transmasc rocks
i just feel existentially tired
ugh sorry alt text: tiny spinbike with visible pants clad thigh shows 22 min of exercising
this bitch dont lie. (my aim rn is cardio 3x a week, 20 to 45 min on bike depending on what im up for, weights the other two days, weights & cardio if i feel incredible, which is rare)
sometimes its so HARD jerry
sometimes forcing yourself to do 20 minutes of cardio feels like lifting a pyramid of giza (other times its totally fine). anyway i did it i did 20 odd minutes on my tiny spinbike pls clap
And thatβs just his immediate family.
