I agree with you Jane G, it's impossible to know for sure, as transitioning would obviously change my perspective and outlook on life. Similar to you, I would have loved to transition in my youth, but, not so much now, so I'll never know for sure!

If I were to transition, I would still come to this site. However, I have no plans to transition.
I think someone who is truly dysphoric might because they want to forget that awful part of their life. Just like they never want their old name to be used. Feeling a bit more adjusted myself, if I did transition, it would be because I want to. I would not have such issues about my past. I think that's why we might choose a similar name to our other name.Whereas I doubt someone truly dysphoric would want something even remotely similar sounding.
I still look at this site most days, but of course there are a lot of threads that don't really apply to my life any more.
And every once in a while there might be a thread talking about things in such a way that might prompt someone a little less forgiving to abandon this place, but you can find that in any community I suppose.
For example, you can see the term 'transsexual' here more than almost anywhere else these days, including in the title of the section that's supposed to be for us.
