I often find the pink fog exciting, euphoric and a gateway to trying new things. Unfortunately, it typically comes with anxiety, detachment from personal goals, hobbies and commitments. One thing I've noticed is that while in this state I find myself wondering (fantasizing) about what it would be like to take hormones and going through a full on transition. I've never really considered transitioning and don't think I want to. While I love being en femme and CDing, I also like being in male mode doing masculine activities from time to time. I can't say that I've ever had debilitating dysphoria either that pushed me to seek gender affirming care. Do any of you think the pink fog is a component of, or somewhere on the spectrum of dysphoria? Why is it such a strong impulse and turns our brains into something we can't always explain?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Sophia
