    yeah, I looked it up thanks to your post… you are correct. It is not technically a mental illness it is dysmorphia.

    Which, hey, I learned something, so thanks

    But the point stands. We can argue all day about what is, “normal”, but it’s not typical to think you’re a man trapped in a womans body and yeah, there might be something slightly wrong if that’s the case. But that’s ok, there’s something slightly wrong with all of us.

    Which, again, opens the argument about “normal”. Is it “normal” to have anxiety? I mean, lots of people do have it. Is it normal to be transgender, lots of people are.

    But again, my point is, don’t hide from it, love who you are and accept it.

    Yeah, I’m a bit fucked up but that’s OK because that’s what makes me, me; and I love being me. I’m me and I’m proud!
