Trans Activist: Listen to trans people about their struggles and what is and isn’t hurting them.

Dysphoric Person: Saying you can be trans when you don’t have dysphoria hurts us. It makes our painful condition out to be a choice, personality trait, or glorified gender role. It’s turning my already stigmatized medical condition into a joke. People roll their eyes and don’t take me seriously and ask if I’m “void gender” or “demiagenderflux” or use ‘Bunself pronouns” and then laugh. When I go to trans groups online or IRL half the people don’t have a lick of dysphoria and want to talk about clothes and pronouns and we can never talk about medical transition and coping with dysphoria, and when we do they all have to make sure we know they can be trans despite not having dysphoria or needing to socially or medically transition much. Doctor’s aren’t taking me seriously and are more hesitant to prescribe me meds because they’ve had several people detransition after finding out HRT makes them dysphoric because they were already comfortable with their body parts.

Trans Activist: No it doesn’t lol. Jump off a bridge please.
