No it isn't. That's what the sexist TRA-controlled media says, and if you believe that it's no wonder you hate trans people. No. Remember how you felt when you started puberty, how you were scared whether you'd like how your body and even mind is changing? Well, imagine if it really did end up not working for you. Imagine that feeling never ever went away. Imagine the hormones you're getting just don't jive with you. And imagine you've been wanting opposite-sex features your whole life, often before even realizing they're sexually dimorphic traits. That's dysphoria.

Yeah, that's exactly how I've felt, even BEFORE puberty. Since I was a little child I always wanted to be male.

So, fuck off. I know your stupid mind works in labels and thus can't comprehend that a woman can be feminine and hate the idea of transexuality - but still be heavily dysphoric.

That's not gender roles, stop moving the goalposts

Dipshit, gender roles are EXACTLY about that. Are you going to keep telling me I'm not dysphoric because I'm not a fatso who dyed her hair blue and called herself "they/them"? Stupid fuck.

Biology isn't a societal role. Now you sound like a TRA.

Biology isn't a societal role.

Which is why I'm fighting the notion that women are about long hair, pink, spinny dresses, nurturing and submissive behaviours. And yet here we are, isn't it? Dipshit.

Okay I'll admit to kind of liking a lot of those things. But I don't associate them with dysphoria at all (except maybe hair which is somewhat biological). All those other things are sexist stereotypes made up by humans, nor have I ever felt any "natural" desire for them like I naturally have dysphoria. That's why I get offended when people on "Am I trans?" threads go "Do you like spinny skirts? Do you like panties? Do you like pink? Do you crossdress? Do you like lesbian porn? Do you have a fetish for being a submissive doll? If so you're a woman UwU!". And with that kind of behavior it's no wonder everyone thinks dysphoria is a joke.
