I feel like it’s very obvious that at the very least, narcissism is rampant in the trans community, even amongst “non binary” people.

I just think there’s way too many ways for someone to identify as trans and way too many trans people that disagree with each other. There’s still trans people who say you don’t even need to have dysphoria and even some who say gender identity isn’t a thing. So I guess for me, it would be wonderful if somehow we could understand what causes sex/gender dysphoria- like- the actual mental disconnect and the extreme aversion/discomfort with one’s body, but I still can’t take the idea of gender identity seriously. To me, if someone’s brain is more like that of the opposite sex, I don’t get where any discomfort or need to change anything about themselves comes? Wouldn’t they just have a slightly different brain from most people of their sex? My female brain doesn’t tell me to be feminine or submissive, or to like pink and twirly dresses. the article still doesn’t make any of the things trans people say about their sense of identity make sense for me.
