But isn't gender dysphoria and transgenderism the same thing? Or does it depend on how someone views it? (Ex: the "trucute" vs "truscum/transmedicalists"). As well as if someone who transitions is considered trans, then what would someone who has GD but doesn't transition be considered then? Just someone who suffers from gender dysphoria?

Just wondering because from the trans people who I have seen speak on it, they always made it out to be the same thing which is why I was asking this. Also, thanks for answering!

Gender dysphoria is distress about your birth sex, while transgenderism is playing a different role and behaving differently than your biological sex would prescribe, but it does get more complicated than that with concepts such as internal and external gender (a theory I've developed of my own accord).

Transfolk tend to equate the two because they tend to be left-wing, and the leftist agenda is promote transgenderism in a reckless fashion, in order to pull people into their LGBT "community" — which is really just a front for left-leaning political parties, like the Democrats.

Someone who transitions is not automatically considered to be transgender, and someone who has transitioned and cannot be considered transgender is merely transitioned. If someone has GD and does not transition, they may be transgender or maybe not, but in either case they are afflicted by the disorder.

Ooh, thanks for explaining! It's starting to make more sense. Especially with civility since majority of the time when I asked, it would be met with hostility (like I wasn't allowed to ask questions but both researching and asking to someone afflicted is still good) quickly.

There ain't nothing a Democrat hates more than having to answer a question, as they know that if they respond, their response will be picked apart and their claim proven to be false. The left cannot ever tell the truth, as fact is the enemy of the left. Their answers are but vague sentiments, and their sentiments a facade donned to fool the masses into joining their cult of lies.

True, true, I suppose. Although, it (personally) seems to be more of a case with liberals. I've seen some leftists fight back against that, since it's being grouped together with and giving bad reputation to them. Especially since leftist means something different outside of the US/Americas compared to other countries.
