Gender Dysphoria Analogy
Added 2025-02-11 15:14:03 +0000 UTCHey all
I'm going to do a bit of content around what it's like living with Gender Dysphoria
Can you leave me a comment with an analogy that you think describes the feeling of living with it?
Your answer might be used in content
Let's educate someone people, huh?

It’s like I’m not quite right I look in the mirror and I see me it’s what I always see But it feels wrong there’s something missing that I need to be complete Sometimes I know what it is that I’m missing but they are few and far between most of the time I don’t know what it is that I’m missing

2025-02-12 12:33:35 +0000 UTCI would describe it as that constant feeling of wrongness. No matter what you do how people talk to you how you see yourself how others see you what you wear etc its all wrong and you feel really wrong. Like if you are looking at a image for example the mona lisa and it has different colours and a entirely different person on it. You know its wrong you see its wrong you feel it but everyone else thinks its right for them but you know its not That this isnt the way you are that this isnt how you see yourself. And then theres a feeling of helplessness because you feel like you cant change anything or that it will never be enough

2025-02-11 20:34:14 +0000 UTCWell I’ve helped a few eggs crack 😅 so if you ever have questions or want or need to vent to someone I’m your gal! Despite the dark tone of this thread, things do get better once you let go of the mask. Even if the world seems to be against us at the moment. It is worth it. 💕

2025-02-11 19:45:08 +0000 UTCI'm egg. Not ready yet. I'd describe it as walking down road - always afraid that your becoming followed. So scared, you can't be happy. The people around don't understand why ans your jealous of the fact they aren't scared of being followed.

2025-02-11 19:02:09 +0000 UTCIt is like living a Lie, the person people see is not the real you. You go through life putting on a mask every day. Your friends and family know only part of you, the part you show them. The real you, you keep hidden only to come out when you are alone as you are too afraid to let anyone know who you really are.

2025-02-11 18:26:30 +0000 UTCIt’s like playing monopoly for another person. There are all these rules you have to follow, expectations you need to fulfill, and can’t bring yourself to care about anything because it’s all for someone else. No matter the consequences of your actions it’s not you, but because of that everything you do or say feels like a lie. You just continue to go through the motions and interacting with people but never being seen or heard. After a while…it feels like you don’t even exist. That this role/lie you’re living has robbed you of any real connections. You are alone. And this continues until you no longer can see past the game, there is no future there’s just the next motion to go through, the next play that’s demanded you make.

2025-02-11 17:25:31 +0000 UTCtwo songs actually... "Trapped in the Shell" https://suno.com/song/89c70a0b-6a7f-48af-8e1d-dcae7eb67b19 eg: Trapped in the shell, reality grips tight, Contentment elusive, cell walls ain't right, Locked in a form that doesn’t align, Prison walls may morph, but they still confine. Try to remold, smooth out the chafes, Cosmetic fixes, but the bonds still ache, Some find solace, can shift and change, Others feel their soul being worn away

2025-02-11 17:18:34 +0000 UTCDunno if this will let me post a link , but wrote a song about this recently: "My Truth" https://suno.com/song/bbf0ceac-b208-4b89-8e4b-c7f65fde0424 - Link has Lyrics I wrote that include a bunch of analogy. eg: This skin feels like a cage, a prison built for me I yearn for loving arms, but who am I to be? I don't despise this face, but it’s a mask I'm forced to wear A setting stuck in place, a life that’s not quite fair

2025-02-11 17:16:19 +0000 UTCIt's like living in this fog and continual night. You know where to go and how to get there but you can't see far enough ahead of you to make any early choices that will be valid when you need them and suddenly you come upon a fork or turn ahead you don't recognize but you have not time to stop and safely make a choice or decision. Then worrying for days over if it was the right choice or even the best one given the circumstances. Every decision being made out of fear in the moment despite knowing the way you need to go.

2025-02-11 17:03:41 +0000 UTCIt was like piloting a mech or something like my true self was tucked behind so many masks and costumes that for the longest I never felt like I had a self. It felt like my life was just meeting the expectations of others and hoping for reincarnation in the right body. It felt like having to ignore oneself always to the point of almost forgetting who I was.

2025-02-11 16:14:28 +0000 UTCIt's like wearing a particularly ugly and uncomfortable sweater that only I seem to notice. And everyone else is saying it looks fine and I'd look really weird if I took it off. So you end up trying to pretend its not there to keep people happy, but you can always feel it and it's like it's getting bigger and more uncomfortable as you age. That might be a bit too long but that's the gist of it 😅
