progress and presentation..
as long as you make progress and as long as you know you can present your real gender , you can mitigate GD and get what you need so you can beat it
are you transitioning? do you have a timetable? or are you negotiating transition with others? that's a big difference.
i've always thought of it as investing in quality of life....if you've hit a point where you've put everything you have into being male, its tough to accept there is no payback...it just makes you feel worse..and if you try harder (invest more), you are just digging a deeper hole...
so invest in your true female life...i can't tell you how....whether its little stuff or big stuff (like committing to transition), its got to be something... have you started electrolysis?? laser hair removal?? these can feel very empowering and represent investing in your female life
one example for me sounds silly but its true...i have small hands... i started shaving the hair off them...omg that made such a huge difference for me to not look at my hairy hands all day...and at some point i started just a teeny bit to let my nails grow and i shaped them just a little bit...i worked in a corporate office, i was married with kids.... these little things helped me alot....i'd sit in a meeting and just stare at my hands and nails for relief from GD...
it made a huge difference at the time...
