so i've been felling gender envy real bad for the past 3 month or more and like i just wanna see if its a common thing cuz like... i wanna wear feminine clothes but not in a way a woman would, like in a way a guy would be feminine...also i always thought that if i was a guy i would be happier and stuff and im envious of guys in bl cuz i wanna like a guy like a guy would like a guy u know? but the thing is that i know i could never be a guy even if i transition or something and its really pissing me off it's not a beginning of gender dysphoria right? right;-;?
It being gender dysphoria depends on how long it’s been going on. Gender dysphoria can be discomfort with your secondary sex characteristics, is can be social dysphoria, or it can be mental. I mean I’m trans and I feel gender envy but I don’t know if it’s common for cis people... and with clothing, I’m trans masc and I love feminine cloth...... reply
Well... There's no simple answer in my opinion. Gender is a difficult thing. But I get where you're coming from by wanting to be loved by a man as a man would. I've felt that a long time. In my case I've come to the conclusion I'm gender fluid as well as sexually fluid, so I know it's a shit show for anyone to try dating me. I've dated some people ...... reply
Well, if u feel like you're a guy, then you're a guy. Boys can wear feminine clothing, cisgender or not :)
I can't say for sure that what you're feeling is dysphoria, but dysphoria can be different for everyone.
As a trans guy, i kinda get where you're coming from... I'm more on the "feminine" side of clothing but i'm too afraid to actually present...... reply
this won't always be the case but sometimes it can just be wanting to be feminine as a form of self-expression rather than as conforming to society. I think the best thing to do is just evaluate whether it's the self-expression part that you want or not. Identifying as nonbinary is also a possibility :) in my opinion, I think it's best to start off...... reply
