Gender Dysphoria: I deliberately stopped using this term or dysphoric (whenever possible) a while back. I have been feeling as a trans woman how loaded the term still is with medical diagnosis and mental health connotations. A term of our oppression, a phrase of 'symbolic violence' as Judith Butler might say. A weak dilution of 'gender identity disorder'

If by rejecting this term *at every level* outright I lose my ability to get a UK Gender Recognition Certificate, so be it. I keep my pride, my full trans agency and that - for me - is far more priceless

Gender dysphoria, no I don't have

Gender? Now *this* I have, in spades! :Fire_Trans:
