dysphoria
I hate how many of my specific dysphorias are mostly unchangeable, a forever reminder of being a boy. At least when I look back I know this always would have happened to me, better parents or more understanding of trans people wouldn’t have saved me.
Just feeling a little dysphoric about my size/ribs and lamenting that.
Damn I feel this. I sometimes feel very physically sick at the thought of having to live out the rest of my life with the permanent damage that testosterone puberty has caused😭
hey
If I can make it so can you eggy, not to diminish how you feel, I haven’t had much luck in life.

hey, cutie. i had a hank hill ass and zero thighs before getting on e. currently my thighs are thiccc and my booty is fire.
i know why you feel how you feel, and i also know that some words online arent going to fix things as they currently stand, but ya know, it will get better.
it just takes time
spoiler
I know fat redistribution will happen, I try to focus on it. But it won’t fix everything. Thank you

you might be shocked by how much the ol skellington is going to change too
sad, please don't take this wrong
I know what changes will happen to my skeleton. An inch off my height or one shoe size down is symbolic, it changes very little for me. And it sounds like my chest is what it is.
aww cutie, you’re literally me 4 years ago
believe me i get it, and i also get how god herself could descend from heavens to tell you it’s going to get better and that wouldnt mean anything.
It IS going to get better, though
cw suicide
Please dont be me from 3 years ago and try to commit suicide though, I would definitely miss you, cutie.
Glad it didn’t work out, its good having you here.
I also enjoy being here, cutie.

I swear things will feel better when you get curves and as you continue your transition some of this stuff won’t hurt as much.
I haven’t heard of rib dysphoria, they’re pretty gender neutral aren’t they? Height, I get it, being tall is coded masc for whatever reason even though plenty of tall femme women exist including the cis. Voice dysphoria - yeah, Im with you it does suck especially before youve done a lot of training. Pelvis dysphoria I can get, we definitely dont get room for a baby through the middle. But, I haven’t heard of rib dysphoria. Like, you’re so skinny you can see them?

I hope curves help, I think they will. Also hoping they come soon (but somehow also not in an obvious way)

There are some general differences in xy/T and xx/E rib cages but they’re very minimal and human variation is enough that there are lots of cis women with bigger rib cages than plenty of cis men. I completely understand dysphoria isn’t rational, I have writing dysphoria and that’s not exactly rational lol, but I dunno about a rib cage being clockey. I’ve never thought of it at all and I’ve seen a lot of rib cages (at work).
I mean, you can get barrel chest but that’s like decades of COPD or cystic fibrosis and then, yeah, it gets biiig but that’s gender neutral. You ever seen someone with barrel chest? It gets big. The pictures always show a man but that’s cause boobs kinda hide it lol - women can get barrel chested too. Ribs are pretty pliable to change over time, also fun fact they regrow! Which is kinda spooky.
spoiler
I could have sworn people talked about how T makes you get a bigger ribcage, and that effecting how boobs grow in? Otherwise its whatever, its just knowing mine is big (like most of me, bigger then most men’s) and thinking that will effect how I look when I start presenting fem.
I don’t have either of those issues, but that’s interesting.
I’m not actually too upset by it right now, but thank you for replying, I always appreciate it a lot.
spoiler
Really? That’s actually really comforting. I’ve always thought my ribcage was too big but maybe it’s actually proportional and just seems big because I’m taller than the average woman 🤔
Also yeah ribs regrowing is kinda weird. Like why ribs and nothing else?
