idk, I (unconsciously) did that for about 10 years as well and I felt like shit the whole time and the dysphoria came back stronger. though I will admit that aside from trying to move up in my career, I wasn't doing anything towards "building a person that I was happy with". I don't think there's enough repression you can do to make feelings about your true self go away.

I'm tired of thinking about this, so ultimately I think I agree with Thallos' idea that this was a cis person who went down the path of questioning his gender for whatever reason, and eventually decided that he wasn't actually trans, which is fine, but doesn't excuse his shitty opinions that trans people aren't valid and gender affirming care should be discouraged. It sucks that in some countries (notably amerikkka) that's the viewpoint most will gravitate towards because it's the closest to "normal".
