Transmasc people who cannot take t for medical reasons, how do you deal with dysphoria in real life?? I need help navigating this as I’m in the same situation (being denied T because I have bipolar and it’s a “violent hormone”) and I have zero clue how to deal with it other than wear packers every day and… never leave the house and stay online where everyone calls me my chosen name and pronouns unlike my family

I apologize my lack of attendance on here.
I wasn't doing too good.
Apparently someone who had a vore fetish on Discord (it was in my server) pushed it too far on me and friends. (Me and my friend has a vore kink.)
They were pushing the vore stuff on us too sexaually and we don't use vore sexaually. We used it for comfort or for a coping mechanism. It made me very uncomfortable and disgusted.
The worst part is they know I'm Asexual and know I would end up uncomfortable anyways. They never asked me if I was okay or even apologize towards me. My friend was just annoyed and uncomfortable as well.
I was feeling really mad and anxious. I never known anyone who would push their sexual vore fantasies onto me made me feel this uncomfortable and bothered.
They didn't care how I felt. They only cared about how they felt which was the most worst thing ever.
They also had a belly fetish and that creeped me out a lot. The way they say it. It as well sounded sexaul.
I have a belly fetish too, but I don't get aroused. It's mostly for cuddly reasons.
Again, I never felt so uncomfortable like this ever.

feeling uncomfortable as a catalyst for growth
So, I felt massively uncomfortable today: before therapy, during therapy, after therapy, and before my meeting today...
This type of uncomfortability is actually good for me - I think I'm actually making the change I need in my life.
I thought I was going to explode in grief, rumination, anger, etc.
Before my meeting (which went well, and I'm on track even if things are kind of moving slowly), I thought I was going to explode with anxiety.
I didn't explode.
The feelings were all so uncomfortable, but I'm feeling them.
Now I've taken a shower and dressed up for a friend-outing. I feel okay. I don't feel that angry anymore. I know I'm over that friendship that ended last year. I told my therapist I know which relationships/connections from the past I do need to heal from - and we're making a plan.
I have trust that it will all work out for me.

I hate when people try to be some kinda funnyman in response to powerful art. Maybe you should just earnestly feel things once in a while, babe.

For anyone who thinks being mentally ill is cool and "you get so much attention": Wrong. It's not the attention you want and it's just embarrassing and uncomfortable and exhausting and sad and awful and cruel and destructive and frustrating and lonely and empty and..

sorry but modern AUs which depict harrowhark as incredibly goth or punk-looking just completely misunderstand harrow as a character. like, yes, aesthetically in the TLT context harrow has goth-like attributes. skull facepaint, bone earrings, etc, etc, i get it. but that's not counterculture for her! in fact, she dresses exactly how the revered daughter of the ninth house is expected to dress - down to the sacramentally shorn haircut.
which brings me to my main point. harrow's not a goth! she's a nun! she wouldn't be wearing chains and spikes, she would be wearing a full habit and a headscarf! she's a religious nun and she accidentally fell in love with lucifer. that's her aesthetic. she was raised in some deeply catholic cult somewhere in buttfuck nowhere and she carries a rosary everywhere she goes. there's your modern AU.

Hi, I'm a 22 y/o trans guy and I don't really have much (i.e. barely any) relationship experience especially with other men but I was dating this guy and I wasn't really comfortable with kissing and we were hanging out and ended up kissing but I didn't really want to (something about mouth-on-mouth really grosses me out) but I just saw it as a hurdle to get over and pushed myself to do it. He was generally a lot more into it than I was but generally respected boundaries. (I'll spare further details for my own sake). But afterwards he kept coming on to me and I didn't really know what to do and was just kind of overwhelmed and he assumed I was tired and I took the out, he ended up leaving, insisting that I needed my rest. I just felt really gross and couldn't get it out of my head and got really fucking angry and ended up ghosting him for a few days before finally breaking up with him. But I've kind of hit an intense wall of both depression and dysphoria because I was thinking about that whole thing again recently. I have a very shaky relationship with the fact that I have a body and I think it might have broken the truce between me and my dysphoria.
How do I stop thinking about it? I want to stop thinking about it
Hey there,
I am so sorry that guy that you were dating forced himself onto you and that you weren’t comfortable with it at all. It’s completely OK in those situations to say no or stop when you are not feeling comfortable at the pace the other person is going at or you were not wanting things to go so far as in with kissing and things like that. It’s so important that before doing anything in a relationship that you are both on the same page and that you know how each other are feeling and especially if you don’t have much experience which is also completely OK!
It's quite understandable that you were feeling angry and ghosted him for a few days. If I were in a similar situation I probably would have done the same thing, so please don’t be too hard on yourself in that regard! I am sorry that you broke things up though but it also sounds like it was for the best as it sounds like he was wanting more from the relationship than you were willing to give or were not comfortable in giving – completely OK and valid to be feeling that way!
In regards to your body and the dysphoria side of things and not wanting to think about how things were with the guy you were dating, can you try to be kind to yourself and view or see it as being in the past and trying to focus on the present and future of your life? I know this isn’t easy to do but sometimes when we can accept the past and actively leave it in the past it can be easier to then move on and not think about it. I am not saying that it won’t come up from time to time as it may, but at least by doing this you will have more control over the thoughts in terms with how much time you spend in thinking about them.
One thing I am learning in therapy with my psychiatrist at the moment is that when I have nightmares, which is quite often right now, is to try to just reassure myself that it was just a nightmare, that I am OK and am in a safe place and to just try to distract until I feel comfortable and ready again to go back to sleep.
In your situation, you may be able to use the above by when you get the thoughts of depression about the thoughts of what happened with that guy, identify them as just being thoughts, reassure yourself that your OK and that you have the control over how much time you give to those thoughts. I know this isn’t easy (it certainly wasn’t for me to begin with) but it does get a bit easier in time and allows you the satisfaction that you can get through this and anything else that may be thrown your way!
I really hope that this has helped a bit and please do let us know if we can help to support you in any other way!
I’m thinking of you and hope that you are going well!
Take care,
Lauren
