so im now four months out from the last medical intervention of my gender transition. recovery is more or less done, im all healed up (some nerve endings are still continuing to connect and come online). my gender transition is basically complete.
i haven't experienced any dysphoria for months.
im not sure if that's just how things are now or if ive just had a really good streak. i don't know if this is what i can or should expect for my future.
but it's… revelatory.

the thing about dysphoria is that its so pervasive you develop coping strategies just to survive. most of them minimize how much youre aware of your dysphoria. basically you just have to block it out in order to talk to people, feed yourself, go to work, pay rent. so somewhat ironically, people suffering from dysphoria are rarely aware of just *how much* dysphoria we are actually operating under. spoiler: it's way, way more than we think. #DysphoriaFuckedMeUp
