Gym is the most gender affirming thing physically yet one of the most dysphoric socially because all I see every time I come here is young men (and older men too tbh) becoming instant friends over here speaking just once but they'll never talk to me without necessity and they'll never see me as one of them. Or at least not for a very, very long time. I know I could try putting more effort into making friends here but I'll always know they don't see me as who I am inside.
