I'm too retarded to understand dysphoria
/lgbt/
I'm not referring to reading about other people's dysphoria. That's easy to understand and empathize with.
I just don't understand where I'm supposed to draw the line when it comes to my own distaste towards my birth sex.
I don't like being a man, I don't like socializing as a man, I don't like being perceived as a man, I don't like my facial hair, I don't like having rough and oily skin, I don't like being hairy, I don't like my genitals. It not extremely detrimental to my life, but it all feels like something I have to tolerate and put up with.
Despite all that, I can't help but feel like the alternative would make me genuinely gender dysphoric. That transitioning would feel wrong on a fundamental level, and that there's no escape from being a man. So I feel trapped with something I hate, while it still feels like the only viable option. That makes me believe that my hatred towards being a man isn't actual gender dysphoria, yet it's still something I can't get rid of.
Is there any way I can just get over it all? Could therapy actually help, or will it be a waste of time?
