You have to respect that people are comfortable enough with themselves that they don't feel the need to change, but still would if they could just instantly morph into a form they would be even more comfortable with.

    I mean, yeah, sure, that is possible, but in the case of trans women, being numb to your own dysphoria is an extremely common experience.

    Not everyone has it, and euphoria is enough to want to transition, but good god, there's so fucking many stories of girls going through the "I didn't know I was miserable, but there were signs" phase.

    Yup. Never felt dysphoria actively until after I put my picture into a genderswap app. I pretty much immediately started crying, instant egg crack and I didn't even know I was an egg until it cracked. Since then I've gotten more and more dysphoric. I didn't used to be upset about being bald but my affinity for hats makes a lot more sense. That pretty well across the whole board in every aspect and I'm so angry it took me so long to find out, as my chances of ever passing anymore are pretty low now, and I keep seeing more and more signs the further back I look.

    I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how well transitioning goes. Just give it time ❤️

    I wish I was brave enough.

    Me too. In lieu of bravery I'm inching my way forward, making small changes.

    Find one thing you can do that doesn't feel impossible and do it. Something that you really want but is deniable and not permanent. Just enjoy it. Then do another thing, stepping closer to what you want without making any huge life changing commitments.

    Eventually, some things that had felt impossibly big becomes the next logical step, something you just want to do.

    There is still time.

    Can I have a nighttime form and otherwise be like I am now?

    Only if your night form is an unimaginable horror or a jelly bean.

    Or a bat, it could be a bat too. 🦇

    Well, that makes me uncomfortable. I don't believe that transbians should feel like an unimaginable horror. I'm awful sorry about my inappropriate post.

    American maga and Christians have their issues that stem from God knows where and they are acting like absolute assholes. They voted for someone super rapey and that's the real unimaginable horror.

    Right now that's getting projected onto people that don't deserve it for reasons that probably need a psychologist to explain.

    To be perfectly honest, I got a bit fixated on the bat emoji, as I just discovered it and got excited when I saw Marcy. I should have paid more attention to where I was posting and I'm sorry. That was pretty shit of me.
