He ain't nothing but a hound dog!

Is what the Fallout TV show did to The Kings, Trans erasure?

Mild /s

The important indicator imo isn't dysphoria per se, but euphoria. If you for example were to feel fine either way but feel happier being a guy, then that's a good one.

The way I came out was basically figure out how certain I was of it, then tell to my most trusted people, then spread outward.

Edit: you also don't have the obligation to explain it to anyone. Just as nobody is owed to explain to others that they're cis, so too is nobody owed to explain their transhood. It does help to communicate, though, but think about it at your own pace.

Only you yourself can decide for yourself who you are. Experiment, try out, do what helps. Whatever you feel best, be that guy-, gal-, enbyhood or whatever else, it's all valid. Feel free to ask me anything!

That is dysphoria. You don’t need to physically hate the body your in, just want to be in a different one.

And likewise your reasons for not wanting to transition aren’t based on not being trans but on social stigma and having to deal with it.

Best way I heard it is that no cis person is out there giving the time of thought to this subject.

Luckily if you’re going FTM there’s less issue with age, as you can develop a masculine presentation later in life via HRT. Take the time you need to find yourself.

Yeah it would have been easy for my parents to think it came on suddenly, hell I had a beard when I came out. I was also heavily involved in trans forums to the point my username was well known to the people there every day, I had been out to my friends for nearly a year, I'd known I wasn't cis for over two years, and I'd been struggling with dysphoria and the desire to be a girl/woman my entire life. It's just that I'd tried to go all in on masculinity in the hopes it would help and it didn't

That's actually a modern invention. Originally, 他 (they, sg.) was the only one used, but then someone added 她 for the literal sole purpose of translating western European works -- as in many of those languages there, it's all gendered.

Try to translate this for example:
"He wants a cookie, and she wants a mango."

If translated literally-ish, you'd write:
他有饼干和他有芒果, which yields "They want a cookie, and they want a mango". It's ambiguous.

So if one really wanted that, why (in my view) not do it as: "他有饼干和那女的有芒果"? That meaning, "They want a cookie, and that gal wants a mango." And then later when referring to only the gal in an unambiguous context, just use 他 anyways.

I feel like it'd be funnier if 男 ”man" was incorporated into the original pronoun, then you could have 也 with either 亻(that then yields 他), or with 男 (男也) or with 女 (她). And then you only use the male and female ones if you explicitly want to be so annoyingly gendery.

Then we can use the neutral pronoun for all purposes. Or, y'know, just use the neutral pronoun as originally done. Which still can be done, it's just dated.
