(1) Hey guys, trans man here. I'll shed some light if you're interested.
Being trans isn’t a mental illness by itself, but it definitely brings out a lot of bad stuff that’s already in you, like anxiety and depression.
Dysphoria (the Bad Feeling that comes with being trans) is different for everyone. For me it felt like I was constantly late for something that I could never get to. I just lived with a permanent feeling that I was running out of time to live my life. It kept me awake most nights and made me distracted at school and work. That’s not really different from normal anxiety. It was just caused by how I felt about my female body.
Those feelings mostly went away when I got on testosterone, which I hope you’ll take as at least partial proof that there is a medical component to this. Now no one can tell that I’m not a normal guy and I don’t talk about it.
I honestly think there are a lot of (young) people changing themselves and making claims just to get attention.

I don’t like the word ‘transgender’, because I think gender is a stupid concept. You have a dick or you don’t. You have an instinctive need to change that or you don’t. People don’t get sex changes for fun (or at least they shouldn’t). It doesn’t have to be anything more than a medical issue, so I don’t know why people have made it into such a big deal.
I changed and then I moved on with my life. The transition was just an expensive inconvenience with a lot of emotional stress.
Hope some of you found this informative. Peace, yo
