I am someone who's dysphoria is best described as biochemical. Today I was falling down an Internet rabbit hole and landed on the use of androgenic anabolic steroids in athletes. Decided to check if there was research done on female athletes.

Behold: the symptoms of biochemical dysphoria in cisgender women! Turns out lady brains don't appreciate testosterone. I'm pretty sure reading that a couple of decades ago would have sent my life in a very different direction.

I often describe me discovering myself being trans as realising 1+1=2 as the signs in my life had been obvious. Sometimes you just need that one critical piece of information and if you don't have that, sadly that's that. Don't beat yourself up over it. Celebrate yourself finally discovering it

It's just a relief to know that a lot of my problems could be solved by ordering "aromatherapy oil" from a different country. Lol
