Okay I’d prefer you don’t. It’s a mental illness that just like others, develops. I’ve had doctors tell me about it, I had to sit through a mental illness class.

Relax, Typhoon, you're very right… I've had three people with ASD tell me it's a mental disorder…

And multiple doctors…

Besides… Jynnie has it, and I'm sure they'll agree…

Thanks. My brother and I have quite an age gap so I remember every bit of him developing and getting diagnosed.

I mean… You don't need me to validate you, Typhoon…

Back to Jensen's thing though…

Jensy?

It’s Darren by the way.

Oooh… Heya!

Hello :)

I do agree!

Hey. I didn’t know you had ASD.

guys… did you seriously have to turn this whole post into an argument? All I wanted was advice.

The argument was dispursed and it’s over. As I said before it’s not what the post was for and we should get back to the original purpose.

If you want one on one advice, DM @605.

I'm good, thank you though

Of course.

I'm sorry this happened, but misconceptions can be very damaging.

Advice wise, maybe your preference would be towards something between traditional masculine and feminine? You don't have to align perfectly to someone else's ideals. It sounds to me like body euphoria without social dysphoria. (And this is controversial to say, but some people grow out of it and some don't, so if it's not being going on for very long it's probably worth waiting to see if it persists before making any conclusions.)

what the heck is body euphoria?

*body dysphoria. Now I know what autocorrect makes of it all. :(

There is a strong mood behind this, I can feel it

what the heck is body euphoria?

(if its a genuine question)
Gender euphoria is kinda when you're truly happier being a different gender, I think. Like if one is ftm and is addressed by he/him pronouns and becomes really happy- that's euphoria. There's a lot of discourse about whether a person who has gender euphoria but not dysphoria is trans or not so

but… wouldn't that be a different variation of dysphoria? Since you're less comfortable as the gender you were assigned at birth?

it's like the opposite of dysphoria. Instead of distress because of your body or gender, you are happy and satisfied.
