Gender Dysphoria- I has it

[harpsiccord]

Gender Dysphoria... holy sh*t. It's real. I mean, I knew it, but I never thought I suffered from it. ... I know, I know- how did I not think I suffered it? Well, it never came up before. It was always an issue of 'I feel like a guy, I will do as I please

This is going to sound really bad, but it was all in context, I swear.

Who the fuck did this? That motherfucker sexually assaulted you and should be thrown in jail. Or stabbed. Preferably both.

There was a context to it, I swear, Jason. Really. Which sounds bad, but there was.

UK television is some kind of wonderful! I don't see why the others on your F-list wouldn't appreciate it! What're they, some kinda humorless stiffs? Screw that!

And don't you ever scare me so badly as to make me think you're baleeting your LJ again, or I'll have your damn nose. You hear me?

I feel that the stomach ache wold have more likely been from the hormone treatment than gender dysphoria: atrophication of the uterus and liver damage can be side effects, which I imagine would both not feel good. Gender dysphoria itself doesn't affect the abdominal region nor the digestive tract.

That would be a good guess, but I've been on these since October and have been getting checked out regularly since returning to New York to make sure that everything is in working order. The doctors have been prescribing hormones to transmen of all body types and sizes for years (Callen Lourde is a glbt specific clinic) and know what to watch out for. They start us off on low doses and monitor those. Nothing about my medical history has changed.

With all due respect, gender dysphoria is a mental thing and that's the source of psychosomatic pain, which is what I had.

But I do understand why you said what you said.
