I guess that dysphoria manifests itself in many different ways to different people. I don't remember having any dysphoria when I was 10, I think it started when I was 12. I don't really talk about my dysphoria because it's kind of a personal thing. I just to share what I'm comfortable with.
Anyways, I haven't looked down waist below at my own body in.... forever.... just the sight of it makes me horribly depressed, I don't remember this feeling being so strong when I was younger. I have a lot more body hair than I did before, and I can't even look at my own body anymore.
The farthest back I remember having 'weird' feelings was around the age of 11, I remember visualizing myself with breasts and nothing down below.
I'm 23 now, and I experience dysphoria in other ways, but that's pretty much all I'm comfortable talking about.
