What is FTM Body Dysphoria?
It’s hard to explain to somebody that wasn’t born transsexual. Imagine waking up in the morning and your body had changed sexes overnight. It would feel weird and you might even be repulsed by it. Now imagine having to live like that 24/7/365. Many transsexual men report being able to feel their penis. This is because our brains are sexed and they have “body maps” built in. So it is not unexpected that transsexual men experience what they do. It’s very difficult to explain something you’ll never experience. edit: The other half of the dysphoria equation is social dysphoria. Not only is your body wrong, but people don’t see you for who you are, they judge you by the body you have. All societies treat men and women differently. Imagine being treated like a girl when you’re really a guy. Taken together they can make life a hellish existence.
