when im playing video games that allow me to choose between a female avatar and a male avatar i always pick male even if i dont really like the design because my dysphoria gets really bad when i choose to play as the female avatar.
i hate it because sometimes the female avatar has a real nice design but i cant get through the game playing as her because of dysphoria. like when it comes fe:if the farthest i was able to get in the game ever was up chapter 17 before i deleted the save.(cont.)
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

(cont.) even when i am able to finish a game as a female avatar it takes such a long time and i try my hardest to dissociate myself from them but its really hard sometimes..
do any of my trans followers have ways to try and combat this dysphoria?

maybe you could have the character be an o.c. kinda thing instead of thinking of them as yourself? like make up a cool name and just have it be someone you made not you... idk hope you find a way to playy thats comfortable for you!!

im not trans but i do have dysphoria and what always worked for me was viewing my characters as different people?? I do a bunch of other things sometimes if it gets bad but that's stuff that just PERSONALLY helps me this is what usually works
i hope you can find out what's comfortable

tbh i feel the same about female avatars. it doesnt feel right for me. you should just make a female avatar thats not based on yourself??? i made one that looks sorta male and it helped even though i stopped at chapter 4 lmao
