I was going to post this on Sammie's thread -- Outrageous -- but realized it totally missed her intent for starting the thread. It seems to fit here much better.
I tried to recall something in the past about my CDing and TG nature that would be outrageous in a humorous sort of way, but came up empty. The fact is, the outrageous events and happenings that stemmed from my GID were not things that I'm at all proud of, and prefer to forget about. It speaks to the very heart of gender 'dysphoria'. We use that word so often, its meaning has been diluted, like the word 'awesome' in the general parlance. In so many ways 'dysphoria' is synonymous with 'nightmare' for me, and it's to escape that nightmare that I'm engaged in herbal rebalancing of my hormones to better align with my gender sense and find mental peace.
I thought that was true of most of us, but when I stop and think about it, I'm not sure it's true. There are a lot of lurkers on the bio-male sub forum, so it's not easy to get a clear picture of the motivations of the membership. Certainly there are some who have progressed past GD, or who never felt the curse at all. Some want to feminize their bodies to better match a dominant female identity for a full or partial transition. Some are 100% male-identified that simply want breasts for personal reasons. Some find that their erogenous zones are focused in the breast/nipple area and want to enhance a pleasurable experience.
I'm curious what others think. How severe is/was your GD and how much does that play in your reasons for being here?
