how do i help my gf with her dysphoria
i'm cis and my gf (mtf) has only recently started transitioning. she's finding it really really hard for a lot of reasons, and i'm trying so hard to support her. the thing is that as a cis person i don't have any experience of dysphoria, and i don't know how to help her. i don't understand what she's feeling and i know that the lack of understanding can sometimes make it worse because she feels alone. i've seen someone saying that it's like grief for the body you wished you had? she often says she just wishes she was born a girl and can put herself down a lot when she has bad days. i know i can't solve this issue or anything but i'm just wondering how i can help her on days when it gets really bad. i think she's the most beautiful woman in the world but i know i can't just flip a switch and make her see herself how i do. i just want to be there for her as best as i can.
thank you so much for any advice :)
