So I'm recently out of the closet FTM, and I'm starting hormones in the next week or so (finally!!!). I was wondering if anyone else experiences dysphoria the same way I do. I feel really confident in myself as a man, but as soon as I get misgendered, I get these thoughts of like "am I even trans?". It's only when I get misgendered, and it's only because it's like "I don't pass for a man, am I even a man?" Maybe I'm not explaining this right. I just get a whole identity downspiral when I get misgendered, but when my friends say something like "you look really masculine in that outfit!" I feel the most intense euphoria. I found out I'd be starting hormones next week and cried out of pure joy. It can be really stressful to question myself as a man. Does anyone else experience this?
