Has anyone else noticed that the narrative of dysphoria has changed?

All this, plus the fact that most normal people think of HSTS when they hear the phrase “trans woman”, and have no idea that most of them are (intact) AGP.

I did a couple if years ago. I grew up with an HSTS, genuinely feminine kid.

I didn't realize there had been a linguistic bait and switch to include transvestites and adult heterosexual men who'd never had GD, until I came to GC. I think most of the UK population at least still sees HSTS as the group we are arguing about and doesn't understand why we are as concerned as we are. The media up until recently was pushing very effeminate HSTS as the standard.

I've just been arguing with an AOAGP (Adult Onset AGP) who swears blind he always knew even as a kid... It's fascinating how they retcon their bs.

I think 'the signs were always there' was a code for 'got an erection in my sister's panties at twelve'.

And they made it to what age before transitioning and without any suicide attempts while pushing the narrative that children should be on puberty blockers and minors should be on hormones because anything else is literal murder-suicide. Why is it that the actual transsexuals tend to be in favor of watching and waiting? Probably because they’re biggest concern isn’t how hot they are post-transition.

Yes, same here. I think it’s a big part of why they keep trying to silence us, to stop people from learning about AGP.

If you want to see a TIM lose their crap, post a few links to other TIMs open about their AGP.

All this again, plus the squiffy dx boundaries and social contagion associated with dysphoria. (Is it actual dysphoria? Another disorder with symptom overlap?)
