What to say to your friend who is experiencing gender dysphoria

Written By Genevieve Dreizen

These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.

We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.

Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.

Thank you for sharing how you feel with me. I imagine it feels very difficult, confusing and disconnected to feel dysphoria in your own body. I am here to listen to your experience and support you in any way I can. I can help find and call professionals who might be able to support your journey more holistically. You deserve to feel at home in your body. I love you and want you to feel ease in every way.

Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
