Reply To: Kind of a butch person and it doesn’t jive with my dysphoria

Gibby, sorry I can’t be of too much help, but if I assume you are on HRT and have been working with a therapist or counselor, my first inclination is that you discuss a lot of this with them. I’m not sure what the ‘excuse’ is your mom may be referring to. Your interests probably don’t have as much to do with transitioning as you may think. The music one enjoys, or the hobbies one pursues is irrespective of any gender. Those things run the gamut… Michelle
