Are there any trans people who just feel like transitioning is too much effort despite their gender causing them distress?

Yeah, I've seen people post here about that. Some people are "okay" with their assigned gender even though they would prefer another. Some of these people don't transition because it's just too much work socially, financially, medically, legally, etc.

Despite occasional dysphoria flare ups, I myself could probably spend the rest of my life as a man and not, like, die.

it makes me feel like I’m somehow faking or deluding myself into thinking I’m trans when I’m not

Another very common thought that I feel and have seen posted here. I see and use this word "deluded" a lot.

it’s not like I haven’t heard it before and it doesn’t help. Are there any trans people who just feel like transitioning is too much effort despite their gender causing them distress?

Are you looking for people to encourage you to not transition instead?

Do you think a sort of limited transition or gender tweak might be good for you? Like, not fully transitioning but doing some of the gender expression you enjoy without all the pressure.

it's not just you. I could have written this, lmao. Being a "man" sucks but actually putting in effort into transitioning sounds hard and scary so I've been putting a lot of it off or doing it very slowly. I'll be at a good place one of these days though

I'm also gonna say that OCD makes it extremely difficult to figure out what I want and what feelings and thoughts are "real" when it comes to being trans. I say this 8 months into medical transition

you should still shave before using an epi because it works best on hairs that are pretty short. Its a little tricky, because too short and it won't work, too long and it'll hurt A LOT. Make sure to exfoliate and moisturize afterwards. You should avoid tight wearing tight clothing on the area that you epilated for a little while, since that may cause irritation.
