What was pre-transition you like? Would you have dated him/her? (For the purpose of this hypothetical you did not have gender dysphoria, gender-dysphoria induced depression, or incorrigible homosexuality.)

pre transition me wouldnt have dated me, or anyone. pre transition me turned down dates because idk, it just felt weird. though also, maybe that was because of gender dysphoria, so its hard to say.
i think i would be friends with pre-transition me, though. i was a bit sad (outside of dysphoria) but i was a good natured person. and like. we are the same person. so we would get along. it would be nice. probably would be able to be not lonely together in a way i cant really be with anyone else in my life. since like. again. they'd be me. much easier to do dumb sentimental stuff with myself, someone who already gets the appeal behind dumb sentimental stuff, than with other people.

>Pre-transition me was just shy, overly kind, nervous femboy sitting in room playing VNs and Ar Tonelico while listening to Akiko Shikata
>Not really interested in anyone sexually

>Post-transition me is sleepy but more assertive woman who wants a loving gentle partner
>Really quick to fall in love with anyone who shows kindness and similar interests
I probably would have befriended past me because of similar interests and began pushing to start dating once the “stay up to 2am texting eachother” phase starts. Past me wouldn’t have initiated anything at all but present me would probably confess within 3 months and be on the verge of tears thinking I’d be rejected.

thoughtful post. i guess i probably would be similar. i certainly would try to be his friend and he'd probably be superficially charming but internally shy and awkward as fuck and not know what to do.

you desperately need a boyfriend user

DMZ, arms raised, chud speaking, what is the experience of cognition of a transperson like? Constant horror? I'm unaffectedly curious

None of the similes are really particularly good but the best one I can reach for is that dysphoria is a somatic sensation first and foremost, like hunger or tiredness. And then the thought follows the feeling. So just as you feel hungry and think "I should eat" and then if you ignore it it becomes "I need to eat", or feel tired and think "I need to sleep", so to do you feel the bodily sensation of dysphoria and think "I really want to / ought to / need to become more like the opposite gender." The sensation is located in the ribs, the lungs, and the stomach, in the same place as heartbreak. It feels a lot like grief in this regard, except you're grieving for someone who never existed.

None of this describes it perfectly but perhaps it gives you some idea.

Well, I was a slightly chubby young boy, so no.

Late pre-transition me was a limp-wristed fitfag top. I liked guys who were built similarly to me to a point that I jerked off to myself in the mirror, lol. I was confident, had a lot of success at work and no issues with dating, but I was also a drug addict and fairly unhinged due to me being a repper. I'd totally fuck pre-transition me, but pre-transition me wouldn't fuck current me.
