FTMSarah had just finished making herself a sandwich and was returning to her room when suddenly her dad, who had been watching TV, stopped her and said, "Sarah, mom called. She want you to call Grandma and thank her for the skirt she bought you."

Sarah sighed. She had received the long blue skirt her father was referring to in the mail earlier that day, and was hesitant to call her Grandmother. It's not that she didn't like the skirt, it was just that Sarah had a hard time imagining where she would possible WEAR it.

"But dad, it's already nine o'clock." Sarah said quickly, trying to dodge a bullet.

Her father said nothing for a moment, then

This is a small part of a project for my Women's, Gender and Sexuality studies.

This is my take on Dysphoria. Does anyone else ever feel this way?

i can agree with this. the thoughts of male or female are in your head and you can either change your appearance or change your personality. i say if it doesn't hurt anyone you care for then it shouldn't matter.

Hey, I remembered you were trans*, and you know... at a certain moment I have begun researching it, what it meant to 'be trans', and I pretty soon came to the conclusion that I am trans as well (FtM), it just 'clicked' y'know...
It's been such a crazy ride from there. I noticed how society brainwashed me that it's 'wrong' to be unhappy with your sex, and I felt so guilty for wanting to be a man. I told myself over and over I was a girl, and I wanted to be one... but deep down I knew it were just pretty lies...
Also I've been blessed with a rather masculine female body (tiny boobs! Hurray!) and parents who never forbid me to wear boys clothes or like boys hobbies, and thanks to that I think the dysphoria has never risen to a critical level, but stuck at being 'uncomfortable'. I saw myself as a guy anyway, and I was befriended with guys or tomboyish girls, but when I hit puberty and saw all the 'other' guys get facial hair, leg hair, lower voices, etc. I just felt horrible... I knew that I would never be one of them. I tried joining them in their games, but they dismissed me because of 'being a girl', which hurt me even more...
Anyway, nice job on this deviation. You convey the message very clearly by the use of really simple symbols.

I haven't been on DA forever - didn't see your message till now. Glad to hear things are going well for you! It's not always an easy road (although Europe might be different) but I know what it's like - it's why I drew this picture for class. Give it a lot of thought and prayer - you're still young - and above all be safe!

Are you still into WoT? I still haven't read past Shadow Rising. lol

No prob, I just forgot to check your last visit date, lol

And yeah, it's been pretty difficult at times, but I'm getting things clear up my head right now. Even though I'm very far away from HRT I feel like I've already started to transition from the moment I accepted myself as trans, though mentally instead of physically. A lot of things that have been bugging me in the past suddenly made sense, lol. But I just wanted to be 'normal' at that time, I bet you've been there too... and took the 'blue pill', so to speak.
Thanks for the support, and I saw your 2 years difference pic, you really changed a lot and look undoubtedly female to me!

Lol, no, not anymore. I still like the story, but couldn't get myself to read the last books :/
One of my friends has nearly murdered me for doing that, lol!

Aw, that is so sad. I can get 90% of what certain transgendered people are going through but I am not struggling with my inner self every waking moment... Maybe for 7 hours a day....but then again I am not transgendered.

*hugs you and tries to figure out how to help you*

~TheKlockster Sep 7, 2012

It can get pretty rough. Right before I called my therapist and basically started my transition, I was at the point where I couldn't take it anymore.

Thanks for the hugs!

~Zarakoda Sep 3, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Wow. That is really creative and totally well-expressed.

~TheKlockster Sep 4, 2012

Thanks!

~majorsodomy Sep 3, 2012

All the time. I'm never 100%.....comfortable with myself.
