If you felt you were delusional when you were trans, that is your right and I respect your opinion. But don't imply all or most trans men are delusional.

What's the definition of delusional? I think you all are willfully obtuse and purposely misconstrue. I'm not saying dysphoria doesn't exist... that's real... but the belief that bodies are "wrong" is the delusional part. The belief = the delusion.

Again, dysphoria is real... the mind literally plays tricks on dysphoric folks... but what we believe is not real.

I'm 37 and still have delusional moments of believing I am or should be a man. I literally tell my ex girlfriend to suck my dick, out of anger, and then have to say wait... I'm not a man, I don't have a dick. I have a misogynistic male alter ego that will not die, unfortunately.

Trans folks have called me an "egg" which is basically calling a "cis" person delusional... and I bet that's okay because it's pro-trans. 🙄
