How do you know if you have gender dysphoria? (hexbear.net)

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.

Give yourself time, a sign there's maybe more is the fact you are curious/reaching out. You are best taking time to see if you can parse things and it does take time, not everyone experiences the same feelings and has the same experience but note down how you feel during the day or if anything comes through with mulling on the subject. Look around the communities and see if there's stuff that resonates with you. Could even make a folder and save things to it that would help too. Doesn't have to be just about dysphoria it can be random clothes and stuff you'd like to wear and how you'd express yourself etc. Whatever really comes to mind if you think it would help in some way. I'm not that great at chatting but I hope my rambles have given you something to work with at least, good luck c:
