StapleButter is pretty much in your situation so....I say of course definitely people should respect your feelings.

I feel the same way, except with reversed genders. The difference is that I'm a bit content being sometimes a girl and sometimes a guy XD

eh, I'm not sure of anything

I guess I'm kind of like you


(not to mention that getting your name and gender changed is ridiculously difficult in France, so... yeah)



and school is pretty much a popularity contest where kids seek to build self-confidence by belittling others that aren't 'good enough', so yeah.

middle school is probably one of the most toxic environments that can exist. before prison.

It's something you feel inside yourself. Cis people generally don't feel anything in that regard.


But there are many ways it can manifest. While it's good to take the time to question yourself and not rush the decision, there is no need for excessive gatekeeping either.


Also, as someone said on reddit, transition is a process and not an event. You do what you like, pretty much, and don't do what you don't like.

this part of the internet should be renamed the transnet, because from Acmlm's Board to today, it seems to be a recurring theme

you can just say "don't be a bigot".


which is pretty much the rules enforced here. someone was banned for saying that "it's a bad thing to be gay".

some people are scared of what they don't know.


there are idiots who think gays are weirdos obsessed with shoving things up their ass. yes.


there's also a whole lot of undereducation regarding gender. when all you know is that "there are two genders, XX and XY", and suddenly that guy becomes a girl, you assume they're a crossdresser living some weird fantasy.


reminds me that for a while, I thought that my gender confusion was a result of not having a girlfriend ("you're just desireful of girl attributes, and since you have no partner, you're trying them on yourself in the lack of anything better"), and that it would go away if I got one. it's a common theme, and it's not how it works.

Gender isn't really a "choice" though, it's more something that you feel inside yourself.

Regarding what you said in the spoiler tag that you decided to hide, since you're going to be 18 in a years' time, you should be free to do what you like then.

In theory.

Things are rarely that simple in reality.

The typical Frenchie, at 18, gets their 'baccalauréat' exam (A levels). Passing the exam is barely enough to get any sort of job that isn't illegal (and thus submitted to reckless bosses).

My sister pretty much stopped studies past that. She's working jobs like waitress etc. It's nice, but so far she's still living with my parents (and squatting friends half the time).

you don't even need dysphoria to be trans... if you like the other sex's attributes better, you're trans.


that being said, I'm still not quite sure of what I am and where I am and what I will do.

I don't want to deal with the administration or the medical system where they consider they have authority over you and your body belongs to them. and they seem to consider that you're only Trans Enough™ when you're on the brink of suicide, which is bullshit.

but this is premeditate as I haven't even decided anything.

No problem, your post isn't offensive

Anyway, gender dysphoria isn't only that. It's a broad thing from what I read. But a common theme is, for example, "I wish I was born a girl (or a guy if you're a girl)".

gender on this board is meaningless anyway, it just lets you choose between three name color presets

my dream PC runs MS-DOS



reminds me of that article from some guy who assembled two PCs in a fancy desk that also served as a PC case: "best current PC" and "best PC from 1994"

the latter serving for oldschool gaming

you can still DIY


may be "illegal", but weed is illegal too, and it does get through despite their efforts, so


shit like getting your name/gender legally changed is another affair tho.

for example, France, in its incredible modernity, requires you to have the proper genitals (ie. get expensive, risky and heavily gatekeeped surgery) to get a gender change, because gender is totally defined by your crotch.

France is also notorious for its administrative complexity, so... good fucking luck.


and even if you do get your legal name/gender changed, it doesn't reflect everywhere. for example, diplomas.

so the only possibilities there are saying either
a) I am a crossdressing man, or
b) I am a (rich) trans woman

(or the other way around for FtM folks)

which is a concern given employers are the ones who see that message.



(noting that I don't encourage DIY hormones. that shit is serious, better know what you're doing)
