Gender dysphoria is that heavy disconnect between how your body looks on the outside and who you know you are on the inside. It’s not just discomfort , it’s a full-body “something isn’t right” alarm that can hit in your chest, your stomach, your voice, your posture… everything.
And the gym?
The gym can be a dysphoria minefield:
Mirrors everywhere, harsh lighting, tight clothes, crowded spaces, awkward angles, people lifting around you… all of it can make you feel hyper-visible and out of place. Even when no one’s looking, your brain decides everyone is.
That’s exactly why these hacks became game-changers for me.
These hacks didn’t fix dysphoria.
They made the gym a place I could show up to consistently, safely, and on my terms.
And once that happened, everything else, strength, confidence, shape, became possible.
If you’re trans, anxious or ADHD and you want to make the gym feel less intimidating, message me. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
