Gender Dysphoria

"Validation is the recognition and acceptance of another person’s internal experience as being valid. Emotional validation is distinguished from emotional invalidation, in which your own or another person’s emotional experiences are rejected, ignored, or judged.  Self-validation is the recognition and acknowledgement of your own internal experience. Validation does not mean agreeing with or supporting feelings or thoughts. Validating does not mean love. You can validate someone you don’t like even though you probably wouldn’t want to."

I have struggled with feelings in the past couple of years, really struggled.
Part of that struggle was not feeling like my feelings were going to be accepted, or were not 'real enough' to be part of anything.
You should know that's all lies. Your feelings are always valid, if you know in your heart that you want to examine these feelings, you have all the right to get help and support.
If you do not recognize your feelings, you have every right to ask for help so you can define them.
Maybe you suspect something about your feelings, then you can go into that direction to get support and understanding.
Maybe it was something else, does it really matter that you did not figure it out from the beginning? No, your feelings have always been the same, you just had to figure out what they meant.

People are quick to say that feelings do not mean anything, because people can not see them.
But your feelings are so very important. They influence us all the time.

I know my feelings are important. I know that I deserve to figure things out.
I don't need to be a worse case, or feel worse, or feel better or slightly different, before I can get help.

Just because I can not define my feelings into definitions does not make them any less existent.
