trans guy here! being trans isn’t so much about dysphoria (some trans people don’t have any gender dysphoria) but more about euphoria and how you feel comfortable. there is also no harm in exploring but if you find yourself scared of being trans (for non safety reasons of course) then it isn’t likely because when you envision yourself as a different gender instead of feeling gender euphoria you get anxiety.

If they are not bothering you within sensory or gender dysphoric parameters, I think you may have to attempt addressing the awareness of your chest at face value. I experience discomfort with my chest because of various reasons. I do not enjoy having to compact my chest to comfortably exercise. I do not enjoy the sweat/contamination buildup that happens with long term breast-torso contact. But the number one factor is the fact my chest is one of my biggest giveaways to my biological sex. My chest identifies me as female despite my voice & facial hair, and I despise it.

@Anonymous Sensory: the experience of having breasts irritating you physically. Gender dysphoria: recognizing breasts as something associated with femininity/the female gender and not wanting to identify with those labels. Addressing the awareness is alluding to using ERP to go through the internal dialogue necessary to become comfortable with the compulsion of fixating on your chest. I cannot really inform you much on the subject here as I’m not a professional. This would be something to ask a therapist to guide you through.
