Rules on Comments
If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways. Read more about this decision here.
No Ewwphoria posts. Posts which contain misogyny, misandry, transmisogyny, transmisandry, or enbyphobia for the purpose of expressing euphoria are not allowed here. At best they bring anger to others, and at worst they may trigger people's dysphoria. People who create such posts will have them removed and may be banned at moderator discretion.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally coolโjust say so.

Yeah 'twas quite the eureka moment when I realized that I might not "simply" have been clinically depressed for these past few years for no reason*, but that the depression may have been a symptom of gender related dysphoria.
*my doctor kept telling me "life's tough, think about the casualties of war in Iran" ๐ถ๐ฆ

I'm so good at blocking out mentally exhausting situations, often I don't even realize how much strain they put on me - only when they're gone, then all of a sudden I feel the huge lift off of my shoulders.
Wait, these are possible dysphoria symptoms? ๐
Yeah. Dysphoria can manifest as a general unease/depression without a clear source. It's like a weight that you might not realize is there until you experience euphoria and it's suddenly lifted
