for me, it’s gotta be sweaters. i rarely go anywhere without wearing an oversized sweater because it hides my chest perfectly! i can’t bind due to breathing issues, so sweaters help me a lot. what’s your trick to combatting the bad feelings?

Haha I really shouldn't reply because dysphoria has pretty much shattered by mental health repeatedly (although part of that is transphobia-induced dysphoria) but I always wear a binder, hoodie (usually black, completely shapeless pants (thanks extremely feminine legs) and of course my own gorgeous face which I live quite a f*****g bit as I am lucky enough to have an androgynous/masc face. I also just stop talking when I'm really dysphoric because although I can make my voice very convincingly masculine, when it all a lot as I tend to do, I usually lose track of it and since my natural voice is embarrassingly girly I just don't. There's also speech patterns that I've adopted that make me feel very masc and by that I mean my friends have started calling me a dudebro which I can't say is incorrect although they're wrong. When it's really bad for no particular reason, I tend to walk round in my area alone listening to music as that usually helps reset my mental state and get me back in touch with the fact that I am a dude.
