Reducing dysphoria

Based on all my reading and personal experience meeting others, gender variance can generally be split between euphorics and dysphorics. The former celebrates gender expression while the latter feels a disconnect with birth sex which varies in intensity from person to person.

This is why I often see videos or comments regarding whether one being trans necessarily means one needs to suffer from gender dysphoria. Now I stay away from using the truncated term trans because ultimately it is just a label and not a prescription for an action plan. More importantly it is your understanding of what your motivation is for your gender variance and knowing what path to take which has the most relevance.

If one already has a working formula then that is great but those who might misinterpret or downplay where they are because of dysphoria, will likely need to do more work to respond to their situation; one which improves their quality of life by, if not outright eliminating, then at least reducing their dysphoria. Their action could be considerably more involved than someone who is just happy with expression.

When you begin to get it right, you will note that things will improve considerably and your life will brighten.
