okay so i don't even know what but i guess i'll ask people here about this. i'm afab but have gender dysphoria that i've only recently became aware of, but transitioning doesn't really seem to be the best option for me. ik the people on this board will try to convince me otherwise but i'm short as hell, very feminine body, etc. i don't understand why people think transition is either the best thing in the world for people with gender dysphoria or the moral equivalent to 9/11, like i really feel whether transition is good for someone comes down to considering 1. will you pass and 2. will you be happy even if you don't pass. and if the answer to both of these is "no" then you probably shouldn't transition. idk!
>>4720>very feminine bodyresulting from what? if it's mostly due to gynoid fat distribution it's fixable, however since you mentioned being short you'll likely have more trouble adhering to a caloric deficit. you'll also possibly need to gain muscle in some spots after fat loss and eat at a surplus
if you don't want to transition then don't
afab enbies are pretty common. if you don't have dysphoria about your body then don't worry about it and just do whatever alleviates the dyshporia.
that said, it's generally easier to pass if you are FtM than MtF, mostly due to how masculinization works and being irreversible through hormones alone.
>don't understand why people think transition is either the best thing in the world for people with gender dysphoria
Because from what I have heard it is the best way to prevent suicide, and most trans people are very suicidal/depressive and HRT improves their mental health even if they don't pass

No, HRT really reduces dysphoria, even without social changes. It’s not placebo
At least you don’t need to hurry. You can pass as FTM even if you start HRT in 30yrs
