I don't feel like I've had strong gender dysphoria, but I've lately been realizing more and more how much repressed stuff I got buried in my brain, and I was curious as to what the common signs are and get an idea of what others have experienced regarding this. Thanks in advance for any input you have.

Don't take advice from internet randos. Seek professional advice and help from people in related fields. From your phrasing there's alot more going on than gender related stuff and the way mental stuff entertwines, you don't want to just assume "A," when really "kinda A but really B and working on B makes A not a thing anymore" or "turns out it was C all along!"

As for gender specific stuff, try experimenting internally if you feel confused. You don't have to dress up and present as X or Y starting out, you can just apply it in thought and see how it feels. Refer to yourself mentally in different ways, see what feels good or "right" to you.

Disclaimer: cis as fuck but have a laundry list of other shit ๐Ÿ˜‚ so I can't really speak to the second part but definitely know what I'm talking about with the first. Good luck!

It's really funny to me how a cis guy can write a whole load of utter bullshit, fully acknowledge they have no idea what they're talking about, and then decide to post anyway
