halfway through i realized it was satire lol... but sadly very convincing.

I totally missed that it was satire. Read it again after seeing your comment and still missed it. The only thing that tipped me off was the professor in the bottom right corner.

the part about body dysmorphia didn’t tip you off? How many “cis” people medicalize or have gender affirming surgeries?

Body dysmorphia has nothing to do with changing your gender. I am pretty sure it is involved in anorexia. I am a hairy dude and it caused a bit of embarrassment and self hate when I was a teen, not body dysmorphia, but all sorts of men have procedures to remove body hair to better represent societies opinion of an ideal man. Less drastic than what trans and non binary people have to do but still.

I am pretty sure the guys injecting themselves with synthol would suffer from body dysmorphia.
