Establishing harmony

People who don't suffer from gender dysphoria don't spend much time thinking about their gender. After all, they already know who they are and go about their lives, but when you have dysphoria you spend more time than you should reflecting on it.

Therefore our ideal objective should be to deal with the dissonance such that we spend much less time reflecting on our gender identity. Even if some dysphoria remains we at least want to be able to push it into the background so it does not perturb as much.

Dysphoria and euphoria act on the same person but never simultaneously. Euphoria can come when everything aligns which of course isn't all the time. It is sporadic and fleeting wheras the baseline can be a low hum of dysphoria which itself ebbs and flows. The young transgender woman whose video I featured a couple of days ago had it right. If you only ever experience euphoria then what is your normal baseline and, presuming you have not transitioned, does it ever involve periods of seriously questioning core identity?

The way I live now has taken care of a big chunk of my dysphoria and in so doing tampered my euphoria which is exactly what I needed as the peaks and valleys were not good for me.
