I hope itâll help you ladies out in these trying times.
But First, I must make a disclaimer so I donât upset anyone (1/)
Disclaimers:
. These are all my
, so donât take them as law
. From 16 up until Now I have been struggling with dysphoria.
. I used to bind. But not anymore.
. Only helping with what Iâve experienced
.again, my word is not law, and I am not speaking over detrans sisters (2/)

Chest binding urge:
. Resist wearing your binder by wearing either a wireless or comfort bra and baggy clothing to âhideâ your breasts from plain sight. If you can, donât wear one at all. Let your muscles relax from the pressure. (3/)

Now that you have the time. Begin to rediscover your body through simple (non sexual) touch and feel. Acknowledge that THIS is your body, and YOU own it. You are fine the way you are, tell that to yourself. Every day too. It will help in the long run, trust me. (4/)
Your body is yours, and Iâll say that until hell freezes over. There is nothing wrong with you. NOTHING. You are more than just your breasts, you may not feel like that now, but in due time, practising getting used to seeing and feeling who you are will bring the comfort (5/)
If you feel disgusted or uncomfortable acknowledging your chest. Stop. Take a breather. There is no rush here, you heal at your own pace. Donât force yourself to see or touch them. This will cause more hatred and discomfort. Start when youâre ready (6/)
If even looking at your chest brings your sheer discomfort. Start with verbal positive reminders.
âI am who I am, and I am meâ
âI am fine the way I lookâ
âI exist on my own termsâ
âThis is not my fault. I am fine how I amâ

âI am who I am, and I am meâ

âThis is not my fault. I am fine how I amâ

âI am natural. I am not a monsterâ
âI refuse to give into the hatredâ
(And most importantly) âI forgive myselfâ
Forgiving yourself is the first step to true recovery and comfort in yourself and Iâll explain why (8/)

In order to close the cycle of self hatred, you must forgive what your past self has done to survive. This goes for all types of trauma, not just dysphoria. You canât work on improving your confidence if you in question still have hang ups about what you did in the past. (9/
Womanhood is crushing I know. itâs not our fault we are traumatised and alienated.
We simply try to exist as gnc/masc women and in the eyes of society that must be stopped and shamed.
Of course we then start to think WE are the ones in the wrong. That is untrue. (10/)

Verbally and physically becoming one with your body you distanced yourself from out of shame if truly an act of great defiance and great courage.
And I admire and greatly support my fellow dysphoric and detrans sisters.

Please remember that your body isnât a disgusting flesh vessel. Itâs hard not to listen to your self hatred but fighting back with self love really does makes a difference in the long run. It is hard. There will be possible set backs, but I believe in you all.

Detachment from womanhood urge:
Wanting to turn your back on being female and having major discomfort from being perceived such is very common. Iâve struggled with it for years and hereâs how I counteract it. (13/)

. Start to surround yourself with fellow desisters and masc women. The normality of being gnc and female will slowly creep into your mind and wash away the feeling of being an oddity.
Online communities do exist and we sure are out here existing! (14/)

But I must digress. A lot of these communities can cause more harm than good. Pity parties and circle jerking about how depressed you are without the resources to take the next step to recovery can cause dysphoria to increase. (15/)
In my experience, I think a healthy mix of fellow gnc women, gnc lesbians, normie lesbians and just regular normies with mixed opinions are a good choice. Therefore youâre not trapped in an echo chamber and canât escape the cycle of non recovery. (16/)
But of course, I do not mean become friends with homophobic individuals or gender enforces. Oh no. Thatâs just adding a knife into your healed wound so to speak. (17/)
Coming to terms with the reality that you ARE female and you ARE non conforming is not a race. Itâs your life. You have the power to make it a walk in the park, and with support, you can start to feel at one with your stride. I have faith in you (18/)
Hereâs some verbal positivity to keep saying to yourself when youâre feeling insecure in your female self... (19/)
âI am a woman, regardless of what society saysâ
âMy womanhood is mine. I do not owe it to societyâ
âI am not a freak. I am a woman and I am proudâ
âMy biology will never change. stop calling me a manâ
âMy choices do not change who I am.â
âMy female body is mine.â (20/)

Being perceived as a woman in a society that wants to crush you is fucking scary. I know. I donât like being seen by groups of men when Iâm out because they know what to do once they see Iâm a lady.
That isnât my fault. Neither is it yours. Itâs theirs. (21/)

But while being in quarantine. Thereâs not really a society out there to wander around in. Thatâs why, now is the best time to take care of yourself and rediscover your womanhood. You have the time and less set backs. (22/)
Itâs worrying that thereâs little resources to help dysphoria attacks. And I really wish there was some so I can link them here but alas...

I do really wish I could of made a video but I just donât have the skills or time or confidence to properly put my face out here. As I feel this tweet thread is very superficial and thereâs just so much more I want to say that surpasses the word limit.
Thankyou
stay safe
Thankyou
