Reminder to terfs that I have had dysphoria since I was a child and it manifested most of itself during puberty and I:
Didn’t even know what porn was
Barely knew what sex was
Was never sexually assaulted in my life, even to this day
Do not get off to myself being a man
@Pinko69420
I’m not necessarily a fan of using the word grooming in this context when indoctrination is right there
At least not without pointing out the sexual assault statistics in the military
@RealityGirlZine
@FriedrichE49
These are all important factors to consider, however we still need to acknowledge the existence of sex dysphoria which cannot be treated by normal means. In an ideal world, that would be the only reason for people to transition, but obviously that’s not the case right now
You dislike neopronouns and “anyone can identify as whatever” because you’re a transphobe
I dislike them because they appropriate the struggles of an already heavily discriminated against, invisible, and marginalized group of people
We are not the same
Imagine if people treated cancer the way transphobes treat dysphoria
“Youre telling me that youre gonna POISON your body and just hope that it works? You know you’re never gonna be able to fully get rid of it why do you keep chasing that high? Doesn’t sound like treatment to me”
Being stealth is playing dumb whenever any lgbt related topic comes up in conversation
“Wtf is non binary” “what’s that flag” “I didn’t know there was lesbian discourse”
I think it’s kinda weird that people are fighting AGAINST researching trans ppl
Especially since the nazis burned the research of the first German sexology research institute
Like do you not know what kinda people censor research just bc they don’t like it?

@Saeko_Cut
This would’ve been my assumption, I understand fuck capitalism and all that but OP is kinda ignoring the concept of clinical significance
@deadtransmed
Kinda weird bc what does Dylan have to do with menstruation outside of a weird fixation on tampons
Honestly kinda puts the product in a place where it appears to be for feminine people rather than people who menstruate
Believe it or not, people claiming to be like me without sharing my medical condition and speaking for people like me has real world consequences, so yes I do “care” whether you have dysphoria if you’re loudly proclaiming to be trans
“Ur a cis bootlicker” “ur a pick me” “they’re gonna hate you anyway” have you ever considered that I care about dysphoric people? because at this point you’re just making up motives and then getting mad at that made up motive
Me: poverty is systemic and giving people food is only a temporary solution
Person from third world country: I 100% agree with you
Person from richest suburb in a metropolitan area: not necessarily, we need to teach people to budget for example don’t buy Starbucks every day
Not when your cis friends talking about lgbt stuff and being like “you can identify as any gender you want”
Ooooooooohhhhh the urge to be like “hol up” and explain the hell outta dysphoria
I hate the terms “exploring your gender” “experimenting with gender” that sort of shit, like express yourself however you want but that don’t have anything to do with ur gender
A thing that sucks about being stealth is when your friend group is talking about their issues I cant be like “every waking moment of my existence is a living hell and my only hope of clawing my way out is through life altering medication and the most invasive surgeries possible”
Why tf do people equate thinking you need dysphoria to be trans to fascism
Either you don’t know what fascism is or you’re willingly minimizing how awful it is
If re-elected, Donald Trump says he will sign an Executive Order on his first day of presidency that orders federal agencies to cease all programs promoting medical procedures for trans Americans, “at any age.”
Am I the only one who’s ever worried that that one girl with the colored hair is gonna clock you and fuck everything up
Please tell me you know what I’m talking about
Insecurity is when I call out that someone who wants to pay a shit ton of money to get a shit ton of surgeries and medicine over not having the medical condition in the first place is privileged

Newsflash: there are countries that neither use the dsm nor have a private healthcare system
And they still recognize gender dysphoria and transition as a treatment
Transitioning is difficult, it really does take bravery and strength and I think we should recognize that
That being said it sounds patronizing coming from cis people
Elliot Page’s autobiography is deeply disturbing. Page hears voices. She cuts and punches herself. She loathes her female body so much she has it surgically “corrected”. Why are people celebrating this violent purging of womanhood?, asks Brendan O’Neill
Wow you just told me gender is a social construct? Omg. Im cured. Cured of all the suffering and depression from dysphoria. Thank you, all I needed to do was stop having my mental illnesses, Ill never be able to repay you! Im finally free after realizing that my condition is fake

Hispanic isn’t the same thing as Latino. Hispanic has to do with countries that speak Spanish. Latino has to do with Latin American countries. There are Spanish speaking countries outside of Latin America and there are Latin American countries that don’t speak Spanish
For the college students that do the xeno and neo shit like what do people think at school, like do they listen or what
Esp like professors, do they really call you kit/gore?
Wanting to ban transitioning because someone in a wig once in a great while assaults someone in the women’s room is like wanting to ban gay marriage because your priest assaulted little boys
My parents always loved me and spent time with me and were great role models growing up
Nothing made them happier than to see their troubled trans kid become a flourishing trans adult, they were supportive every step of the way and still help me out with shit I can’t afford
Parents of trans-identified kids: please take this as an opportunity to look inward. A therapist is not going to fix this. Even if you could arrange a heart-to-heart convo with a detransitioner, that's not going to fix this.
You have to think "how did we get here?"
Thats funny because testosterone destroyed like 80% of my depression symptoms and this is the longest period of not being suicidal that I can remember in recent years
I literally have never loved myself more than I do now
Also I have facial hair
@mummabeeblu
Won't happen:
6. Be a gay man
7. Escape female violence
8. Hair growth like a man
9. Decreased suicidality
10. Heal depression
Will happen:
6. Open yourself up to fetishists
7. Increased likelihood of sexual assault
8. Atypical hair growth
9. Increased suicidality
10.
Transmedicalism is literally the only way of looking at transness that’s not full of contradictions, excuses for hurting others, or just straight up bullshit
How to instantly relieve dysphoria **100% WORKS**
1. Make a new Twitter account
2. Label it as “trans (your birth sex)”
3. Post selfies
4. Interact with TERFs
5. Profit
Harry Potter’s Luna Lovegood actress Evanna Lynch defends J.K. Rowling:
“I just felt that her character has always been to advocate for the most vulnerable members of society… I do wish people would just give her more grace and listen to her.”
I got blocked so here’s my response
Dysphoria can cause the suffering and transitioning (especially medically) relieves it
Gender dysphoria is a mental condition
Saying depression is defined by pain doesn’t mean I want depressed people to suffer
Passing relieves dysphoria
Why else would one transition
This type of rhetoric gives me the impression that people transition to be trans rather than to relieve dysphoria
@StacyCaySlays
The whole concept of "having" to pass is problematic to me. Like just treat everyone with respect. I have the urge to pass ands its bc society beats it into me that i have to in order to not be harassed or to be valid.
