Lucia, it’s ok if a good cry happens occasionally. I think you will find most of us do it. Gender dysphoria is real and has many faces. Each of us see and feel its effects in various ways. I have learned to identify it, deal with it, and learn from it. Definitely no fun. I call it my PMS. There are days I could scream until my hair falls out, cry til my eyes fall out, and suffer the emotional pain that eats at me until I feel like giving up. But I don’t. I talk to myself, and slowly get a handle on the situation. I overcome. I begin to see I have good in me, value, hope. I didn’t ask to be this way, but I am and I must be the best me I can be, period. So I will fight the demons til my final day.
