love this, though I’ve always seen it as two separate scales (one for dysphoria, one for euphoria). I’ve had moments where I feel both at the same time, sometimes abt the same feature.

I think the people who think you need dysphoria to be trans haven’t stepped foot in an actual queer space/interacted with queer people outside of online interactions. Most if not all non sheltered/non terminally online queer people genuinely don’t place guidelines on this shit because it’s not that serious and even more so not that important to one’s sense of identity.

I totally read this wrong lol For a moment I thought I read that trans people don’t experience dysphoria.

Interesting! I’ve never seen it explained that way, this is just the way I’ve always understood it!
