I definitely like groups where its a mix of how long people have been transing, I get why support groups can feel like a total downer though. I see it too. I deal with people all day who are sick or injured and sometimes its because they haven't followed any medical advice or were not compliant with meds - so my tolerance for how much repetition there is is naturally higher.

Its definitely hard to read or speak with people in a lot of pain and dysphoria week after week and also seeing the steps they could take but aren't to make their lives better (at least less miserable).

Yeah, mixed groups are nicer, but even they still feel more oriented towards people early in transition a lot of the time. It still just feels like there's very little for me in them now. I'll probably still keep active in some of them (like here and tracha) but I don't see the point in staying active in a lot of the ones I used to be in nowadays. I think it's fine though, I moved a lot as a kid so I'm very used to leaving communities and friends behind, it just feels bittersweet.

Honestly the dysphoria isn't the hard part for me weirdly? It's really the repetition itself. Some of the kids I was sistering would do it literally every time we'd talk and at a point I noticed myself subconsciously avoiding them because of it. Probably shitty of me, but I need time off, I already tutor young kids (and soon young adults) for work, I can't always be in support Sery mode, so sometimes I should be a little shitty, as a treat.
