Thank you for taking the time to write so much.

(1) I will check into the literature you posted when I get a chance.

(2) I do not have any hobbies that could be used as an avenue for building a social circle and am rather dispassionate in general. I do think it might be worthwhile to try this anyway though and appreciate the advice. I am just not optimistic that anyone will gender me correctly.

(3) Every day is a bad day, and being misgendered always hurts. I see what you are saying though. I do this in my own way sometimes.

(4) I've already tried more anti-depressants than I can count and have done years of therapy, know how to meditate, and a whole host of other things. And I am continuing to try. That is why I asked not to be told to get professional help in my original post. It is not working for me, and I do not see how it will unless I am seen as a woman.

(5) Working on this as much as possible, but I am stuck. I am having a difficult time relating to what you are saying to be honest. It is beyond the scope of my experience, so it doesn't make sense.

I wish anti-depressants helped. I wish there was more out there than just anti-depressants.

Thank you anyway.
