Hi, I'm a trans guy and I'm still in school. For various reasons, I can't afford to come out this year.

I realized I'm trans a few months ago, so it's all still a bit new to me.

Do you ever find yourself unable to speak because of the sound of your voice? Or do you get panic attacks due to severe dysphoria when you're surrounded by girls doing typical girly things?

I'm in an all-female class, so it's hard to combat the dysphoria even though I feel like a boy because, ultimately, my voice and body are those of a girl, and as I said before, I haven't come out yet.

Any tips for alleviating dysphoria in an all-female class?

I hope you understand, English isn't my native language.

  • Tbh most of the time in public I barely speak due to my voice causing dysphoria I just try to speak wit my chest so it vibrates there to ease the dysphoria. I have a lot of friends who are girls it can feel a lot when it’s “girl time” to the point I almost kinda start performing being a “girl” which only makes the dysphoria worse so what I do is focus on there are plenty to guys who wish they could have a ton of girl friends and be included in the girls only hangs. Makes me feel lucky. If you haven’t on your body you could try two sports bras I binded wit those before getting a binder. You wear one regularly then the other one you wear backwards on top of it. Works pretty well too. You can dress in more baggy clothes kinda like a skater asthetic if anyone questions it or just say you like being comfy or a tomboy.

    Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I'll try.
