A lot of us experience dysphoria about a lot of things. Personally, one of my biggest points of dysphoria is my facial/body hair and masculine sounding voice.
We believe this should be a community where all trans people are welcome to give and receive support on their journey.
Feel free to rant about what’s been bothering you and try and comment on someone else’s comment with some encouragement! It can really go a long way to brightening someone’s day!
Love to all my trans brothers, sisters, enbies and all other flavors of people who live as they are ❤️

Look up “gender dysphoria bible” and go to either the estrogenic or androgenic puberty 101 section. Keep scrolling and you’ll find a part on ADHD.
As far as I’m aware, there haven’t been any studies around ADHD and trans people. A lot of this is based off what the hormone itself does to dopamine receptors.
Ah, yeah - I failed to provide some missing context: having read that early on is what led me to wonder. I think it also said something about ADHD symptoms potentially decreasing as well if you’re lucky, so I’ve been hoping for that outcome. 😅
Ah, gotcha. GDB was the first and only place I’ve come across that info as well.
Here’s an article that’s the closest I could find to the topic. It’s about ADHD in cis boys vs cis girls. Some of this is very likely gonna be based on socialization, but some of it could also be biochemical. The article mentions that ADHD symptoms will vary based on menstrual cycle, puberty, etc.
