Dysphoria is a mental health condition, but not necessarily a mental illness. Important to make that distinction. Mental illness implies it’s irrational behavior, but we know gender dysphoria is the result of a misalignment between perceived gender and internal gender. It’s happened to cis people who cross dress sometimes too or played gender swapped roles
and it drives me crazy that how’s they’re using ASAB language! that’s not what it means! the reason the entire distinction exists between what someone is *assigned* and their sex is because intersex and trans people may be a different sex than what they were assigned. it’s a past event! not a statement about someone’s current reality.
