Is it possible to get over gender dysphoria?

It was strong when I was younger but I kind of kept it within me since I know my parents wouldn't really approve. Now, I don't really feel the desire to be a woman anymore.

I've recently considered transitioning again out of thinking that it will come back and the clock is ticking, but idk. Living out my days as a woman doesn't really seem that desirable anymore. I used to want female features and to go out in women's clothes and to socialize as a woman... I don't really feel inclined toward that anymore.

It's not even that I now like being a man, I just don't really feel too strongly identified with either gender.

This is the majority of the world you fool. As a cis guy, I never think about gender. I got a dick, that tells me I'm a man, but I do whatever the fuck I want

>>40754669 (OP)
no dude
go look at a picture of a hon and ask yourself if its possible again
you think anyone would choose to become that shit if it were possible to avoid it

>>40754669 (OP)
From your writing, i can assume you're detached from your life
Do you want to stay that way?

>>40754669 (OP)
Anecdotal but I literally transitioned and then the "gender dysphoria" wore off and I went back to being a dude happily.
Gender dysphoria is more like a phase everyone goes through mentally when they're dreading the commitment to becoming a man, because life as a man is 100 times harder than it is for a woman.
But then you grow up a little and get over it.
In the past there was no hormone replacement therapies readily available by grooming doctors and psychologists, so dudes just ignored that part of their mind easier.
Nowadays men realize that option is there, but still grow out of it and realize what a fucking retarded decision that was.

Idk I feel like I'm actually in a good spot right now. I have cyclothymia so my mood is up and down but by-and-large the challenges of life feel more manageable.
>>40754728
Yeah I think this is more or less what I went through. I'm on the spectrum and I wasn't very well socialized as a young boy so I think I kind of developed feminine tendencies and felt inadequate as a male. All power to those who are trans but I just don't feel like I'm one of them

>>40754848
>those who are trans
"trans" isn't something you are. It's something you choose to do (transition) but even those who do later regret it and even if they don't regret it, will never fully fit in to society because most people can tell they're bizarre and not fit for the sex they're trying to portray themselves as.

bro it’s fine, not everyone’s gonna be gigachad. it’s ok to be a little femme, it’s ok to be a beta. better to be a comfy beta sipping Monster and playing vidya than chop your dick off because you think you failed masculinity

>>40754709

You don't do whatever the fuck you want though you try to act masculine to get chicks and seethe internally about how hard it is to get bitches.

>"gender dysphoria is"
i don't relate to what you describe much at all. i first felt dysphoria as a little kid, and it was more of an abstract feeling that i should be a girl kinda gnawing at me slowly. the perceived benefits of womanhood weren't really part of it as i don't think women actually have it easier than men. but what do i know i still have GD and trooned out in 2018

>>40754728
future sissy award

unfortunately my dysphoria isnt about "i want to be a girl" but more discomfort with my physical traits. i got a dick, thats ok, but i also have facial hair and a blocky body and a male face, thats horrible.

>>40754864

Sounds more like you're trying to convince yourself of that to keep from trooning out. My life as a trans woman is pretty good lol

>>40754924
what you describe as a "dysphoria" isn't actually a dysphoria. That's a cope that mtf trannies developed to reassure themselves they had a valid reason for trooning out.
It's actually just a fear or dread of becoming a man because life as a man is BY FAR more difficult.
Sadly those same troons don't think about the fact that they won't blend in as a woman and won't gain the same benefits as real women because dudes won't treat them like real women and offer them an easy ride through life like they would to a real woman.

>life as a man is BY FAR more difficult.
What are you talking about? It's still a man's world

>>40754968
>It's still a man's world
Only in the sense that men are stronger and have more money (and therefore power and control) because of the harder work they do and more hours worked.
That doesn't mean it's not harder though.
Hard work and long hours of hard work is hard. Wow who would have thought.
Meanwhile women get to sit at home being the wife cooking and cleaning for a few hours in comfort and safety.
But again, trannies don't realize that those women perks only applies if you're an actual woman. They're just delusional and think they can become one through use of hormones, only to find that majority of men will not date them let alone become their partners.

>>40754956
women do not get a free ride through life, you are delusional

>>40755002
where do you live where being a housewife is economically viable lmao
the nonworking housewife is genuinely a mid 20th century myth, historically most women worked, as they do now

>>40754888
Yeah ur right, I don't hate being male anymore because I've come to learn this more or less. My fear rn though is that it's just a lie that I'm telling myself, or that my comfort is a bubble about to burst

>>40755155
nah man, that’s not a lie, that’s literally just you realizing you don’t need to nuke your body to be comfortable. everyone has doubts. doesn’t mean the doubt is some cosmic truth. comfort doesn’t = delusion, it just means you’re finally chill with yourself. bubbles don’t burst unless you go poking at them nonstop

>>40754669 (OP)
Ask yourself, are you ok, slowly turning hairier, balder, and larger with time? If yes, then you can get over it. I have given up ever passing but manmode because it prevents this from happening.

>>40755284
I'm almost 40 and I still have all my hair

>>40755199
Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the help

>>40755284
I mean I don't like the idea of aging but idk if it's related to gender dysphoria. I don't think any guy wants to become bald lol

Look man, if you don't wanna transition, you don't have to transition.
I'd ask yourself the question once in a while though, maybe every half year. "Am I still happy with this choice?" Because it sounds like you might be a bit dissociated, and so how life is treating you might be more or less connected to yourself.

>>40758322
dissociated how?
