This post reminds me of those FEW bi people who say shit like “Nobody’s 100% gay” or “Everyone’s a little bi” because they can’t put themselves in other people’s shoes, and cannot possibly imagine anyone having a different experience from their own

Hey, I understand this might be a reflection of your own experience, but that doesn’t mean that this is reflective of all (or even most) trans people’s experiences. It’s a bit arrogant to assume that you, alone, know why other people are trans, and what dysphoria feels like to other people

OP, are you trans?

honestly this has Christian “god never makes mistakes and your body is perfect just the way it is” vibes

ironically i have sort of an opposite experience it seems. i look pretty good for what i want, my hormones are pretty in line with presenting as my gender pre hrt, and the only issue is my body being wrong and i would me happier born with male genitals over female

don't know why the fuck people are downvoting you and being rude when you're being genuine and asking a question in good faith 😭 but from my understanding: gender dysphoria- the discomfort you feel from when your perceived gender does not match up with the gender you actually wish to be perceived as body dysphoria (in this context)- the discomfort you feel when your physical appearance/body parts dont align with the gender you wish to be perceived as

Of course gender roles and beauty standards have been implemented since the beginning and that’s what we grew up around. “Boy/girl toys and clothes” and so when we wish to look more masc or fem we feel as if we’re born in the wrong body, but no one is really born in the wrong body, we just wish to look a certain way even if it doesn’t go by society standards Go be yourself and may you thrive in the changes that make you the most comfortable 🫶❤️

OP 2d

then you should know better. i don’t feel as if im in the wrong body bc im not masc or feminine enough, im in the wrong body bc i was forced to go though with a puberty that made me want to die due to my wrong body, and shit dangling between my legs that wouldnt be there if i was not in the wrong body

OP 2d

my body is wrong. my dysphoria is based in the sex characteristics i have and the desire to change them. it’s not a case of “i’d be happy in my body if everyone saw me as my gender” or whatever. i’d still be unhappy if i passed and my body hadn’t been altered in any way. my body is the problem!

OP 1d

I think it’s just not exactly clear what you meant. If you’re saying there’s no cases of “oh no, we accidentally mixed up people’s consciousnesses before birth”, then sure. But if you’re saying that there aren’t people for whom their body is *wrong* and who desperately want to fix it, that’s obviously not the case, and people are downvoting assuming that’s what you mean

OP 1d

If you mean the first thing about there not being some kind of cosmic mix up at birth, then I’m actually in agreement. Being trans isn’t a past mistake of some higher power to be fixed by us, it’s just a state of being, a part of the people we turn out to be.

so i'm pretty sure everyone who is trans experiences gender dysphoria (they only have to change their outward appearance/behavior to feel comfortable), but then a subset of trans people ALSO experience body dysphoria too (they have to change their appearance/behavior AND their body to feel comfortable) so unfortunately due to funky brain chemicals, it literally does feel as if you are born with the wrong body shape/parts with body dysphoria

i think the issue is framing it still like it's just social/perception. i pass but i still feel dysphoria. i don't think you or OP is being malicious in any way, but the wording makes it sound like dysphoria is 'just' how you 'wish to be percieved'. i fundamentally feel extremely upset and uncomfortable because my body doesn't line up with how my body should look and function
