Transgender Teen Survival Guide

Signs of indirect gender dysphoria:

1. Continual difficulty with simply getting through the day.

2. A sense of misalignment, disconnect, or estrangement from your own emotions.

3. A feeling of just going through the motions in everyday life, as if you’re always reading from a script.

4. A seeming pointlessness to your life, and no sense of any real meaning or ultimate purpose.

5. Knowing you’re somehow different from everyone else, and wishing you could be normal like them.

6. A notable escalation in the severity of these symptoms during puberty.

7. Attempting to fix this on your own through various coping mechanisms.

8. Substantial resolution of these symptoms in a very obvious way upon transitioning, particularly upon initiating HRT.
