I’m female, 29, and suddenly want to be a guy. I’m so confused.(r/TwoXChromosomes)
Jealousy over assumed “privilege” isnt gender dysphoria, at least nothing I’ve ever seen (I work with the transgender community). I have never heard a trans person describe their gender dysphoria the way you have described your feelings. In some ways it would be easier to be a guy, in many ways it would be very difficult. I reccomend reading Self Made Man, it is a very powerful and informative book.
