(Not sure if this is allowed here but need some help/support)

Update 2/ getting a blood test tomorrow which includes hormone testing…thank you for your comments and help :) Update/ just about to go for a GP appointment regarding “early menopause”. If anyone has any advice on what I can say to help my case I’d appreciate it. Thanks.

ETA- I’m in the UK. Anyone have any info or advice is welcomed. Edit 2- I just asked my GP about getting my hormones tested…waiting on their response e3- also my dad made a comment saying I look trans a couple yrs ago and he’s not wrong tbh. It’s so hard not comparing myself to my sisters especially and other women in my family.

I don’t feel like a natural woman. Like the Portishead song “I just wanna be a woman”…

I just wanna feel like the the other women in my family and the gender I was assigned at birth but I just feel like the grinch. I literally feel like my body is all wrong and I can’t just “accept” it and be grateful.

Mtf (in my case, masc to femme) I probably have hormonal imbalances or something. My life is awful. If y’all can take it at the ages you do, I feel like I should be allowed to at 23…

Euthanasia is on the cards atp…I just wanna stop feeling worthless

    I have some questions:

    • When did you start feeling like this?
    • In what ways does your body feel wrong?
    • In what form do you feel your hormonal balance is showing itself?

    Unfortunately I don’t know enough to be able to offer much advice beyond saying what Berengaria has already said. One thing that doesn’t hurt is to read this nice list of intersex conditions in case what you are experiencing is something like that: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/chromosomes

      I’m aware intersex exists but I don’t see how reading that will help. I know there’s something wrong with me already.

      I felt this way all my life Feels wrong in every way In the form that hormonal imbalances do… sorry I’m really tired rn

        It could be helpful to see a doctor and figure out if you have an intersex or other medical condition - they’re all very different, and they can cause different side effects and have different treatments.

        You could have PCOS (a hormonal disorder) for example and need to take estrogen (HRT) and testosterone blockers, but it’s hard to know unless you get tested.

        Wishing you luck figuring it out now!
