For the dysphoria, I know it can feel crippling and make you want to give up. For some trans folk, it takes a lot of daily work to present how they feel. It can be really hard to want to keep it up when you feel like it’s still not enough. I’ve been there many times.

However, the best thing you can do to drive back the dysphoria (and depression in general) is to take those steps—put in the work and do the things that bring you euphoria. It may not get you to where you want to be, but it’ll get you a whole lot closer, and every little bit helps.

It might help to identify, specifically, what about your body/life is bringing you dysphoria. Start with small things. That way you can make some concrete goals to work on rather than the big nebulous cloud of “I look wrong and I don’t like it”.

Also, I don’t know your life, but I suspect there might be more contributing to your depression than dysphoria. It’s definitely worth some introspection to identify and work on those other areas of your life. ADHD especially often comes with a whole host of (treatable) struggles that make life in our society extra challenging.

First of all, I’m so sorry your parents are treating you this way. No one deserves to have their dysphoria so blatantly disregarded.

I grew up with very conservative parents, so I feel like I can share some insight that might be helpful to your situation.

It’s important to remember that they are probably coming from a place of genuine concern. While their beliefs are very misguided, they truly believe they are “protecting you from harming yourself based on radical online propaganda”.

Assuming you want to and/or need to maintain a relationship with them, it’s critical that they understand that the dysphoria you are experiencing is so painful that any risks of HRT are worth it to you. If the alternative is hating your body to the point of self harm, try to (as calmly as possible) explain what not treating that would mean for you.

Any well-meaning parent doesn’t want their child to suffer. You can help them see that your suffering is in leaving this untreated.

In addressing their transphobia, continue sharing the findings of the medical community with them. If it’s just your word vs the media they consume, they’ll assume you’re just being manipulated. There’s no guarantee they will change their stance, but if you can get them closer to your side, it will make things much easier.
