So sometimes I get dysphoric. No shit, I talk about it enough here and on my YouTube channel right?
But really, there are just some times when I can’t shake the transgender dysphoria blues. I thought I’d share some of the things I do to make myself feel better about my gender shit.
- Reading this list on Autostraddle
- Watching Avatar the Last Airbender
- Watching Adventure Time
- Making online avatars of myself
- Making a character in an RPG and making him act like a jerk
- Playing a video game I’ve played a million times and am really good at. I like to use this website android4fun.net to find many more.
- Playing a visual novel as a male character
- Drinking a lot of coffee (like, maybe too much)
- Writing
- More writing
- Talking/complaining/crying to a friend
- Lifting weights to aggressive metal and watching kung fu movies
- Playing guitar
- Riding a train with my music turned all the way up
- Making myself something nice for dinner
- Taking myself out to dinner
- Dressing up really dapper
- Taking myself out on a date and knowing I’ll make it to third base
- Being around people who will always get the pronouns right
- Delving myself headfirst into a novel and don’t really stop until I finish
- Lying on my floor and listen to music
- Eating something really spicy
- Pretending I’m crying because I’m eating something really spicy
