Wanting to be a guy is the #1 sign of being a guy!
You don't need dysphoria to be trans! Very much not a requirement. If you think you'd be happier as a guy, that's enough.
but also if the thought of being "stuck as a girl" is upsetting to you then that says a lot. Many trans people find that a lot of the subtle aspects of life that they don't like and either barely think about or just assume are normal are in fact dysphoria, but it only starts to make sense once they accept themselves.
These also seem pretty normal and not disqualifying to me. Lots of guys don't like their facial hair and prefer to be shaved. Lots of guys present femininely and are still guys.
You gotta use the double line break a bit more judiciously, this is really hard to read
I'm confused; this looks fine on my instance and I previewed it on piefed.ca and it seems fine there too. Are you using an app? Which lines are formatted poorly?
Huh, I guess it does look okay on browser, must be a Voyager issue. Almost the whole thing is formatted as a single block quote.
Oh wow, that's really bad. I just checked on a lemmy instance and it has the same issue there, so this must be a discrepancy in how different fedi clients handle line breaks. (I guess voyager by extension probably follows lemmy conventions.) I'll update my post and try again. It's frustrating that it's this inconsistent.
