Hi, does anyone else feel less dissociated as the gender they weren't assigned at birth and always were? I find I feel more comfortable as a man and that I experienced a lot of dissociation and disconnect as a woman.

It was more depression for me than dissociation, although I've heard many trans people do disassociate, for me I felt too present in the world.
