Definitely had more of these sorts of symptoms prior to realizing I was trans than conventional dysphoria. https://twitter.com/ZJemptv/status/880348877534228480 …

After I realized, pre-HRT, I had more conventional dysphoria (at first I was suspicious of this bc it seemed like classic social contagion).

Starting HRT was a big shift. My reactions to things made sense to me, I felt like I existed in the world normally for the 1st time.

Dysphoria also reduced, even before physical changes- although I still hope it will reduce further my life is better with HRT.

Why do you think dysphoria reduced before physical changes?

I think something was off with me brain-chemistry wise that responded well to testosterone therapy.

Reminded me quite a bit of what I'd been told to expect with anti-depressants, except those never did what they were supposed to for me.

I'm glad you've found something that works for you. Do you think it's possible that T is an anti-depressant in general? I guess I do.

Sure- in fact there's evidence that shows it has that effect. But, that's not really relevant. I wasn't depressed when I started T.

I meant similar as a subtle sense of improvement without feeling like I wasn't myself, not less depression.
