Transmasculine folk (trans brothers and non-binaries) are historically connected to Lesbians (in America). Throughout the 20tj century, Lesbians as a community experienced gender differently from heterosexual women, with someone transitioning to men, while still referring to themselves as “lesbians.” It’s pretty sad that in the modern day, there’s queer women trying to separate themselves from their transgender peers to try and be accepted by cishet homophobes/transphobes.

Not a trans girl, a trans guy but it’s basically just feeling uncomfortable and wrong in your own skin. shit my gf does to make it better is just referring to my body/genitals with masculine words. If ur dating a trans girl, refer to her penis with feminine words/pronouns, call her chest boobs, etc. ofc ask the individual person what they like, some girls like calling their dicks clits cause it makes them feel more like them, my gf and I don’t mind calling our genitals what they are.

also just telling someone they’re pretty when they’ve grown up thinking they’re a disgusting abomination goes farther than you think

Also worth it to note every trans person has different dysphoria and some of us have none at all so communication is as always v important :)

transfemme here, for me, dysphoria is a feeling of being unclean, like i’ve rolled around in mud but i can’t wash myself. A shower or bath can help sometimes (if my dysphoria is about my mannerisms, a bath usually helps) but usually it doesn’t. Most of the time, being in feminine clothing helps and my partner says it visibly changes my mood, i become bouncy and giggly and smile waaay more often. Saying i’m pretty also helps, drawing attention to feminine things is really effective

things that make it worse include, but are not limited to: referring to me with traditionally masculine adjectives, drawing attention to or acknowledging things that stand out as masculine (unless i’m explicitly asking for comments and criticism), having a dirty living space with people over (i admit, this is probably just me), being around cis women and just hearing my voice, talking about periods (I want a period, so it makes me dys, but wanting a period is kinda uncommon among tgirls)

As a trans man, my dysphoria is really focused on how other people treat me. I’m well self affirmed and confident in my own gender, but other people have no chill in accepting that I am a man
