Guys I need advice on what I’m supposed to do about my partners dysphoria…. 😔 it’s so hard because they’re struggling but can’t transition any time soon so I’m not sure how to help or how to not feel so trapped by their negative emotions

correctly gendered compliments help a lot. Let them know that you find them pretty/handsome/attractive/etc. as far as feeling trapped, their emotions shouldn’t be weighing you down and if they are it might be worth it to bring it up to them. As a partner it’s your job to be a listening ear but you shouldn’t be the entire support system. That’s too much on anyone.

That’s the problem I try to do positive things they only wish to sit in the room and game all day to make themselves feel better 😔 so I’ll figure something out

there might be nothing you can do. you can’t single-handedly fix your partners dysphoria or life situation unfortunately :( I wish you luck tho
