《Book of LGBTQIAP+》Dealing with Gender Dysphoria
Advertisement
"Gender dysphoria is a term that describes a sense of unease that a person may have because of a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity." — NHS website
This can be felt on many levels, including hating your body, feeling uncomfortable, or just feeling disgusted by your own skin.
Dealing with it is hard, but these are a few tips to help:
1) Wear an outfit that makes you feel good
Maybe if you're a biological female, you can wear a more masculine outfit; if you're non-binary, you could wear an androgynous outfit; if you're a biological male, you could wear a more feminine outfit.
2) Binding
This is flattening your chest, and is commonly used by FtM or non-binary people. You should know all about this already...
3) Ask people to use the correct pronouns for you.
If you come out to a few people who will accept you, you can ask them to use the correct pronouns instead of the ones that you were assigned with at birth.
4) Packing
This is putting something down there to make it look like you have male genitals. Oh my gosh this is so awkward. ANYGAY— You can buy packers online, but sometimes you can just use a pair of rolled up socks.
5) Affirmations
"My body does not define my gender."
"This is who I am."
"No one else can change me."
"My gender is valid."
6) Wattpad
Spend time on wattpad! It seems like a lot of people are genuinely kind people, and a lot of them will know what you're going through. They give great advice and tips as well.
These are a few examples of amazing people who give amazing advice:
7) Keep yourself busy
Do things to take your mind off of the dysphoria. Do things you love. It can be writing, or acting, or singing, or drawing, or anything else, as long as it makes you feel good.
8) Eat
FOOD MAKES YOU HAPPY!!!

The Light Bringer
Would you leave behind everything you knew to live the life of another version of yourself? A version from a land where status sceens, levels, dwarfs, elves, beastkin and monsters were real? A world where limits were not set in stone and danger or adventure could be around every corner? If you stopped and thought about it, I think you would conclude it was a bad idea. But for a guy like William Taylor who actually got to make this theoretical choice, he chose yes. He's learning to regret that very quickly. But maybe one day he won't, if he lives long enough ------ Just some details about what this story will be like. This is more a character story than a story about leveling up and becoming OP. That may happen in time but don't expect it any time too soon. The MC has no powers that he brings into the world. He just has to do the best he can with his wits, knowledge and will to succeed. Also it's only fair to warn people this series has a bit of a slow start. 1 chapter a week with occasional bonus chapters.
