"i don't have dysphoria i just already have a girl name that i use in literally any context where i can use a girl name for any reason and also i seek out those contexts" what a dipshit
Its funny coz for about a decade I was drawn to the name Rosie. But when I figured myself out, I couldn't use it as I'd too long justified it in my head as "oh if I have a duaghter thats what I'll name her"!
"I don't have dysphoria I just feel an inexplicable sense of being left out when girls talk about specifically girl things I can't experience be they biological or sociological"
i don't have dysphoria i just always hated my voice and name and face and wear my hair long and take on a deliberately exaggerated maternal role around my friends and ask them to call me mom and
"I'd been fine if I was born a woman and I don't really have any strong connections with masculinity or other males. But I'm totally cis or maybe gender ambivalent"
It is never too late to realize you're wrong about something ;)
This is why I prefer down-to-earth explanations of what dysphoria is (disliking your masculinity/wishing you were [more] feminine-looking), rather than abstract metaphysical "a misalignment between your gender identity and blah blah"
Yeah if someone had just said: “if you hate your voice, hate looking at yourself in the mirror, hate being in photos, and always choose a woman character in a video game when you can, there’s a good chance your trans”
It would have saved me many many years of doubt and discomfort.
me fr. Went into informed consent HRT consult with “no dysphoria, just gender euphoria.” The next day I started realizing how my whole life had been a reaction to gender dysphoria.
