I know for a fact that I've answered this before
But I'll do so again.
No, I'm not comfortable with my sex. While I do suffer from gender dysphoria it's very minor?
In the sense that it doesn't hit me every day but when it does I'd rather lay in bed and not think about anything.
I have decided I'll never get a sex change as I do love my body as it is
I can understand how many believe it's nothin more than lusting for something you don't have. Or special snowflake syndrome. And I don't hate them for that or wish to attack them to tell them they're wrong.
For all I know, those who believe it nothing more than a mental illness may be right. That's fine with me.
Any opinion you have, for or against, please let's be civil.

You are most likely correct. Just a way of thinking, and then curiosity.

If you're comfortable with your body, what is about yourself you want to change? Just curious.

Curiosity is what drives the world my friend. I suppose it's a little difficult to explain. Mainly due to me never analyzing what exactly it is that I desire differently other than a visceral "I don't enjoy this" thought. What I should say is, while I'm comfortable with my body and everything I have (I'm forever grateful for my life and the things in it. Good or bad) when gender dysphoria creeps in on me I'm not comfortable in my body. If there's a label, perhaps gender fluid fits it. Some days I "[i]feel[/i]" male and others I "feel" female. Which isn't to say I want to do any actions exclusive to each sex other than [i]be[/i] them. However I cannot simply snap my fingers and be one or the other. These are the cards I was dealt and I'm satisfied with personifying myself as the opposite sex when I "need" to. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If you don't agree with any of it that's okay too and I completely understand!

No, I don't disagree with it. That would be rather ignorant of me. I don't have gender dysphoria so I can only imagine what it must feel like. I was just thinking that maybe if other people facing similar problems to yours were more comfortable with their bodies like you, than maybe they would be less hasty to undergo surgery that they may possibly regret later.

I think in all cases of anything education is key. There are people who save up and jump into surgery without thinking on it. However many of the trans folk I know research it as best as they can to weigh whether or not it's suitable for them. One trans man I've recently met hasn't undergone T treatment (I'm unsure if he got top surgery or not) because he is fearful it will alter his singing voice. Singing is his passion. So he's opted to stay with his current body despite being trans male There are more trans folk who don't get surgery than those that do. And any choice they make I respect as long as they're responsible and happy.

Thats true. Well thanks for clearing that up, nice talking to you.
