Tbh, I don't even think autoandrophilic get dysphoria

I am talking about the subgroup of autoandrophilic females who transition. Most autoandrophilic females are not sex dysphoric, like most homosexuals are not sex dysphoric. But if we are talking about HSTS (homosexual transsexuals) and AAPTS (autoandrophilic transsexuals) I think both groups are generally dysphoric (but as transitioning gains popularity then both groups will start transitioning at lower levels of dysphoria). I have talked to autoandrophilic females who seem quite dysphoric due to their their autoandrophilia though. When someone has a strong form of autoandrophilia it can create a strong longing to be male and strong sadness due to not being one so I’m not going to dismiss their pain as less real.

It does annoy me a bit when autoandrophilic females think only autoandrophilic dysphoria is real dysphoria though. But as they are the majority they mostly hear about autoandrophilic dysphoria and think other types of dysphoria sound strange. Most are not aware of their autoandrophilia either and think that's just how a “male gender identity” is supposed feel like and mistakenly think all males feel the same way they do regarding maleness.

Ah, I get you! Yeah, I too have noticed that majority of the time.

honestly, I'm surprised I haven't had someone tell me I was secretly a transman for my dysphoria. Alongside "nb" for my androgynous nature.
