Struggling with Gender Dysphoria: How to Make the Right Decision?

Is there one way to know for certain if you have gender dysphoria? I was AFAB, but I’ve always felt like I would’ve been better off AMAB. I’m on the autism spectrum, and I understand it’s more common in autistic people to transition and detransition than the general population, and that concerns me because I could make the wrong decision and regret it for life. I have a hard time understanding what gender dysphoria is exactly. For me, I was (and still am) jealous of boys because of their privilege and advantage over the other sex. I would prefer to be the other sex, but I feel like transitioning (although, it has its perks) wouldn’t be worth it if I have scars and a half functioning penis. How do I decide what is best for me?

Questioning My Gender Identity: Is There a Cure for Gender Dysphoria?

Ok so I know I have gender dysphoria. I’ve identified as a trans guy for about two years, but I still doubt myself. I wonder if I’m just “delusional” or something, and what makes it worse is I get no closure. There are zero sources I’ve found to give it to me straight, give me the scientific differences between delusions and gender dysphoria. I haven’t seen any attempts to treat dysphoria other than transitioning or forcing yourself to avoid it (which really isn’t a treatment). So I’m wondering, what if there’s something else? All I know for sure is that transgender brains are wired less like their birth gender and more like their gender identity, so my brain must be wired more like a man’s is. I know that my brain is sending me signals of the opposite gender. So what I want to know is, is transitioning the only way to fix that? To transition is to align your body with your brain so you feel comfortable, and it does work. But has anybody ever tried to reverse gender dysphoria completely? Is there any way to get your brain to send you signals of your birth gender instead of other signals? OR is being trans more like having autism? Like your brain sends you unusual signals, but that’s just the way you ARE. Unlike depression and other mental disorders, autism can’t be “cured”, because it is not an imbalance, but a neurotype. So maybe being trans is more of a neurotype and the “cure” would not be to get rid of the condition, but to embrace it? How can I be sure of any of this? Also, please don’t just try to validate me as a trans man. This isn’t coming from insecurity, it’s coming more from genuine confusion. It’s really bothering me and I want all the answers I can get, I just wanna feel comfortable. And don’t tell me I have internalized transphobia just because I’m having trouble, because I don’t.

Uncomfortable with IUI, Need Advice

Hey y'all, am I being overdramatic/selfish? My husband and I have started to seriously discuss having children. Since I'm trans (MtF) and he's cis we'd have to either adopt or go the surrogacy route. Since I've been on hormones for a while now I'd probably have to go the IVF route if I want a biological child. My husband wants to go the IUI route, which is less expensive. It's basically the turkey baster method. He's hoping one of his friends would be willing to donate eggs and/or be a surrogate for him. I was 100% on board, but the more I think about it the more uncomfortable I feel. I'm just not comfortable with the idea of either one of us putting our baby gravy in someone and letting it sit in there. Especially with someone we know. I have no issues with IVF, but IUI just feels different. I don't know how to bring this up, and I'm scared to. Any advice?
