I've had body dysmorphia since puberty. I started researching gender ideology partly because I recognized the parallels between descriptions of gender dysphoria and my own experience.

This article just proves it. Gender dysphoria is the same pathology as body dysmorphia, and we are normalizing it and entrenching it in the culture. This could not be more unhealthy.

Mirrors and photographs have been the bane of my existence my whole life. They trigger a really strong revulsion which, if I were growing up with the language of gender ideology, I would probably characterize as 'dysphoria'. However, I recognize that what I feel is a me problem, not an 'everyone else' problem. I don't expect the rest of society to accomodate me and I recognize that doing so would ultimately make me feel worse, not better. This is a maladjusted coping mechanism on a societal scale, and it will only hurt people.

As for the rest of the article discussing non-binary and trans people facing exclusion, well fuck, they're the ones who chose to exclude themselves from their natal sex. They want back in whenever and wherever it suits them, regardless of the consequences to others? No, they can fuck off.
