#dysphoria discourse
and like honestly you all knowthat when someone says “you need dysphoria to be trans” they mean “you need genderdysphoria to be trans.” trying to claim that you don’t need dysphoria to be trans because “dysphoria” means “a state of feeling very unhappy, uneasy, or dissatisfied” is just…stupid.
use your context clues. holy hell. do you do the same thing when someone with an eating disorder claims to have “anorexia” when what they’re referring to is ~actually~ called anorexia nervosa? no, because you’re an intelligent human being capable of basic reading comprehension and you know exactly what that person meant. literally nobody is saying that you need to be “very unhappy, uneasy, or dissatisfied” to be trans. they’re saying you need a disconnect between your birth sex and your gender identity. you know that.
how do you handle concepts like lesbians (who could also be people from the island of lesbos) or homophobia (which could also be the fear of things that are the same)? how do you handle homonyms and homophones? do you shit your pants every time someone uses an acronym with multiple meanings?
“Use your context clues” you say but then clearly don’t use context clues to realise that if dysphoria means general discomfort then clearly gender dysphoria would mean discomfort with your agab. Which, surprise surprise is exactly how the dsmv describes gender dysphoria as!
The disconnect between your agab and you is called gender incongruence
nope! understandable and valid mistake, though; lots of words or phrases sound like they absolutely should mean one thing when they actually mean something slightly different. gender dysphoria is“gender incongruence.”
- A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics
- A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics
- A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender
- A strong desire to be of the other gender
- A strong desire to be treated as the other gender
- A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender
and there’s a separate list of criteria for minors, but it mainly relies on sexist stereotypes (in typical dsm fashion) and also says nothing about “dysphoria” in the broader sense of the term.
you only have to hit two or more of those, too, not the whole list.
the disconnect between your assigned sex at birth and your gender identity is called gender dysphoria. it’s what makes a trans person trans.
anyone who uses neopronouns/xenogenders are always american
your stupid made up pronouns don’t fucking translate to other languages, but keep your head stuck up your ass dear
AHAAHA
lol okay so um ive talked it over with friends and my bf + kinda feeling influenced by an alter so.
i wanna just. apologize incase anyone has been hurt by my blog or anything ive posted. truthfully i felt rly in denial of things so i took it out on other ppl. recently my bf and friends have come out in wanting to use neopronouns and i don’t see any option in denying them that and im no hypocrite either so i know i shouldn’t say i support them but nobody else.
maybe ill change my mind about this but for now i just want to apologize to anyone in the event they felt hurt or invalidated by me. im just really sorry and over the months ive learned to sympathize with ppl who use neos and nounself pronouns. i don’t rly see myself running this blog like i use to because the selfhate and venting literally seeps through every post i made. i don’t resent or hate anyone whether they’re transmed or tucute or not i just don’t really want to return to something like this ive made again and spread hate
its funny when tucutes think transmeds haven’t been there and had experience so we know that they’re talking about. we’ve gone through this and experienced it and know you don’t take it seriously.
when i was 11/12 years old i literally called myself manglegender (only because i liked fnaf at the time) and 2 years ago i called myself a tucute with pride. yes i LITERALLY had called myself a tucute and decorated my profiles on sites with cute “sakura trans” flags. i didn’t even know what it meant to be really trans and decided one day i wanted to be a trans boy out of nowhere essentially until someone had to tell me that i needed dysphoria and being trans was something that people injured themselves and killed themselves over their crippling dysphoria.
being a tucute also made me believe i was aro/ace without once again understanding what that meant. i called myself frayromantic just because i saw the term and liked it and thought it related to me without thinking or having much experience in life.
being a tucute made me take gender and being trans/nonbinary as a joke (and my sexuality) and not seriously as well as stopped me from understanding what my dysphoria was or how it affected me. being a tucute is absolutely harmful to the trans community and the people who call themselves one are hurt by it as well. the mogai is terrible and will only stop you from figuring yourself out
not sure if its passive influence or attempts at co fronting
but rn having an internal debate and nearly crying because one of ur headmates wants to be in their words “kind to people” n “not a transmed”???? help i also think i know exactly who it is too
you need dysphoria to be trans!
transmeds are valid!
i hope all transmeds have a good day today
transfeminine transmeds are incredible
transmasculine transmeds are amazing
neurodivergent transmeds deserve the world
bi and gay transmeds are valid as fuck
this is a transmed safe space !!!!
