We've seen male infants who have trauma and get brought up as girls get all messed up.

Yeah

John Money's experiments.

Did not
... work out.

And despite my penis at birth, I was terrible at being a guy.

?

How so

I did the world a favor by transitioning. Really, I did.

If you don't mind me asking

I was just miserable and never could figure out the social queues.

For example, I had two wonderful guy friends growing up and they'd be shoplifting Penthouse and I'd just be rolling my eyes

Wow lmao

It would have been a lot more logical given how I behaved if I'd been the token chick of the group. They say that now.

Well, I'm going to get going. Nice talking to you guys. Have a nice day.

I mean I suck at hanging out with guys too lol

I like being in mixed groups.

You too Illyrian

Have fun!

For my whole life I've always generally socialized much better with girls than guys.

My wife makes a much better guy than I do, or would but she's okay with being a woman

She's still bitter that she couldn't be a pilot in the military back in 1990 when she could have done it

Given that you are the closest thing to our resident expert (and literally more of an expert on this than most people on left) Are there people with legit dysphonia who are not comfortable as either sex?

All her friends are guys and she's seen as "one of the guys".

thats sexist /s

Yes, Grenade, there are.

Using "guys" to refer to a group of mixed sex humans so SO SEXIST OMG >:C SO PATRIARCHY

If it had been more of an option I just might have chosen eunuch but I didn't feel society would have been able to handle that.

you would have been forced into a boy's choir /s

I honestly had the surgery because my wife was clear. Guy or girl - she couldn't handle a dickgirl as her partner, even platonic.

Her words

Makes sense.

I had a lovely voice as a youth. Bummer I lost it. 😦

i enjoyed singing when i was in middle school. then had no clue where my range was so i dropped out

I've never had a beautiful voice lmao

Gf says i could probably sing again if i tried. obviously in the low ranges

My voice is my one challenge. I pull it off, but it's not easy. I envy women like Blaire the success they have with their voice.

there will be day in the not so distant future where you will probably be able to just get surgery to have your voice changed with accuracy

I've had some times that could be described as dysphoric but for the most part I think I fit better as just a feminine guy

I'm glad. Honestly, trans is not preferable. It's a last ditch option for the truly desperate.

Yeah

It should *never* be cool
