Heya! whats something random that gives you dysphoria? i feel like theres some things that could be considered odd to people who haven't experienced it.

for me, im non-binary (afab) and wearing a towel around myself in the stereotypically 'feminine' way makes me really dysphoric. its odd, because i dont typically experience dysphoria very often.

skirts also bother me (but only sometimes oddly enough. thats pretty standard though.)

edit cuz i thought of stuff later: my voice bothers me sometimes. some people tell me they hear it differently than i do or that they think its deep, but for some reason if i hear it in recordings or something its just so squeaky and high pitched.

also, being called typically feminine terms doesnt usually bother me, but like, my brother calls me "young lady" sometimes and i dont like it.

so, what about yall? common or uncommon dysphoria experiences, share away!!

whenever I’m in a public space/my house without wearing my hoodie. It not only makes me self conscious abt my chest, but also abt my stomach bc it kinda sticks out and it makes me feel bad so yeah

I'm pretty happy in myself so I don't really get dysphoria anymore. Though I have transitioned and been transitioning. I'm fully socially transitioned so except for transphobia or ignorance people know my pronouns

this is probably normal but my arms/hands and my legs. i am naturally very skinny and i have barely any muscle. my hands are like slender and slim and when i wear fake nails they look even more feminine

my face also cause to me its very mismatched. i have long eyelashes even long bottom eyelashes as well but my general like iris/pupil and the way my eyes look is pretty masculine. i have a somewhat strong jawline but my face is small and my cheeks are a lil puffy. i have small lips and a kind of strong nose.

my waist and my hips , i have that sort of hourglass shape naturally and girls always tell me they wish they had my body and im like WHYYY???

my body just seems so mismatched. i have broad shoulders but a small body.

im 5'4 and i have crazy height dysphoria

my feet. i have small feet like im not even a size 8 womens

the way tshirts fit. i dont like when big shirts (like mens shirts) dip inwards in the middle bc of my waist. it makes my waist look more small.

my hip bones stick out as well.

also i LOVE traditionally feminine things but i feel like i cant like them cause i want to be more masculine

my voice!! ik this is normal but my voice varies in pitch where sometimes its higher and sometimes its lower and more monotone

my mom tells me all the time that im such a pretty girl and when i dress more feminine, i get more attention.

rip me crying

so i usually dont get dysphoria when wearing skirts, but once i wore a long skirt to school (at the time i identified as trans ftm, now im enby genderfluid) and my (supportive, dont worry) friend was like "why are you wearing a skirt?" and that just ruined it for me. Now i can't wear skirts to school without being so nervous people will misgender me. Its weird cus it hasn't been like that during the summer so far..
