Gender Dysphoria

Hi, my name is Elvis and I am new here.

I was first daignosed with ASD when I was 13, I'm 22 now and my life is just a mess!

I have many issues - OCD, anxiety.. however one issue which is getting worse all the time is gender dysphoria. I'm not sure if anybody else suffers from it, but since I was a child I have always wanted to be a girl. I like their clothes, their toys, everything about them is appealing to me and I feel like a girl, just trapped inside this body. My parents are of ill health and I have no friends, no job and am just feeling so stressed and confused.

If anyone has any experience with this and can help me then that would be great.

Thanks for your time.

  • Hello Elvis, have you considered speaking to your GP about a referral to a Gender Clinic? I was signposted there after a psychiatric assessment  and  I'm currently on oestrogen and a testosterone blocker. I identify as me as labels annoy me which the clinic is aware of. I changed my forename and my title is Mx. I'm not saying my experience has any bearing on your situation but only by speaking to a professional would you be able to address issues and gain more insight. I found out I was Autistic in March this year.
