Geez, some of these nearly made me cry. -_-

" It’s hard to grow up and not really see other masculine lesbian women. I had put the problem inside myself, when actually it is with how the outside world sees women who don’t conform to feminine norms. I just wanted to be human, neutral, myself. I felt as if the only way I could be myself was to look like a guy. "

We really need to expand what a women can be. But this gender stuff is so regressive, and especially non-binary people, who could help change this, identify out of it. It sucks for both men and women, gender stereotypes.

"I’ve tried to talk about background issues with therapists, but gender dysphoria was seen as the cause of my problems and not a symptom of them. Actually I think my gender issues came out of mental health issues, not the other way around."

The medical community should listen to people suffering from dysphoria but not let mermaids and stonewall (which have every reason to push people towards transitioning to justify their existence, same with some other charities) dictate/advise on treatment or else screaming transphobia. It's a huge conflict of interest. Have they ever recommended a dyphoric person to not transition? The answer is right there.

Great article. Hard to believe how quickly these women were pushed onto the trans pathway, without any other options being explored. Almost like it is being seen as a cure all. I think articles like this show that as a society we need more visibility and acceptance for GNC women.
