I've never actually done RP in FFXIV but one of the things I really loved from the RP community was how people would add "RP hooks" to their character profiles. Exactly what you would expect, just a list of things that would serve as a good jumping off point for people who wanted to RP with that character and it's such a great idea I'm surprised it isn't more widespread in RP communities in general.
Normal transgender dysphoria:
Chest too big
Chest not big enough
Facial balance wrong
Muscles too prominent
Skeletal structure too dainty
Incurable secret dysphoria
Not enough eyes
No tentacles
Teeth too dull
No halo
No bioluminescence
"I have depression." - character who has been through extensive therapy.
"I feel dead inside all the time and nothing helps!" - character who does like, regular introspective thinking and is aware of the concept of mental health.
"Leave me the fuck alone I'll be fine once I get over my stupid shit." - repressed character.
"It's fine I'm just having an Empty Time. What? Yeah, empty times, you know, when everything is like bzzzzzz in your brain and you don't shower for two weeks. Why, what do you call it?" - ooooughhh now we're talkin
okay this isn't how I'm going to actually make a decision but I'm curious since I got likes, who would you be most interested in interacting with? đź‘€

doomed by the narrative but not to death. doomed to survive. doomed to stay alive inside the story. doomed to never escape the narrative, not even through death. you are allowed no exit. there is no way out for you and there never was. you couldn’t die if you wanted to. the narrative has a hold on you and it won’t let go. death is too sweet a doom for you. the story has something much worse in mind. there is no way out.
