i spend every waking moment of my life trying to somehow suppress my desire to kill myself. My bed sits adjacent to a window, and sometimes I feel as though that window calls my name. I've removed the screen before, just to get some fresh air and perhaps a sense of adrenaline through my veins. All of this because I'm trans, because I'll never have the semblance of a normal life. I just want to be a woman more than anything in the world, and yet God must hold that from me while freely handing it out to everyone else. I remember digging into my perineum as a child, hoping that there was secretly an opening down there. Part of me still clings onto the hope that perhaps if I pray to God hard enough and want it badly enough, that some day I'll wake up and I'll be a cis woman and will have always been a cis woman and this bad dream can finally come to and end. But every day I wake up only to discover that it's not, and the only way to truly end this living nightmare is to end my life.
So frick you, @CrystalVulpine. I have gender dysphoria. There is no reason for it; it is an irrational desire which can only partially be sated by transition. The "why you should transition" post was a light-hearted attempt to highlight some of the positives of transitioning (and poke some fun at chuds), rather than all of the negative. But rhetoric is lost on rDrama, and due to low literacy rates in the US, many (including you!) took it literally. Frick you, you have absolutely no foundation to speculate upon feelings which only I truly know. I tend to keep these things close to my heart, but I absolutely loathe people like you who erroneously take lack of mention to imply lack thereof.

Interesting theory, but I disagree.
You'd dig around for a mouth if I took yours.

I had something so incredibly r-slurred to say about my own experiences that I actually stopped myself. I think this might be the very first time this happened on rDrama.

Trans women do not have this "phantom peepee" sensation after getting the snip, suggesting their body image developed w/o it. (5/5)

The same holds for the reproductive organs. Of men who had their peepee amputated due to cancer, 60% claim to have "phantom erections." (4/5)

Body image develops separately from your actual body. In a sense their body is “hard-wired” to have arms, even if born without. (3/5)

It is established science that people born without arms still maintain a vivid self-perception of themself with arms. (1/5)

I'm no ally, and buzzwords don't work on me. I'm speaking the truth and you're trying to disprove me with the most elementary logical fallacies.

It could feel wrong in a way someone who's never felt that way might not be able to imagine. I'm sure someone who lost an arm would feel off all the time, even if they somehow didn't lose any functioning. But the rest of us don't go around thinking about our arms constantly.

It improves after treatment, so it's definitely real. Unfortunately most of the people getting these treatments now should not be.
