It took me more than half a year after realizing I was trans because I was thinking that since I barely had gender dysphoria, my life might be happier living as male and cis presenting than losing all that privilege and transitioning

Of course, the dysphoria got worse exponentially after realizing and that was no longer an option

I feel kinda dumb for thinking I might've been an exception since it seems like this happens to every trans person that used to not have that much dysphoria

    It took me somewhat longer than a year and a half from realizing I was trans to starting e, so don't worry about it. The thing was, it took me a while on e to realize just how bad things had been before. Like if you had asked me about dysphoria before I started, I might have thought like you did, that it was something that got worse the year or so before. But actually, I think I was very dysphoric for many, many years, like since puberty probably, and I was so used to the pain that it didn't fully register anymore, but still made my life shitty. But now I'm free! Things just keep getting better in my life because I don't have that weighing me down anymore. I hope you have the same experience!
