Kit Rhett Aultman@Natasha_Jay I've seen similar arguments for pushing back with the term "gender trauma", and in some ways, I like it. I wouldn't have been dysphoric if I'd been free to follow my needs in the first place. I wouldn't cry in a mirror when I finally approach an appearance I recognize if I hadn't had to repress it for so long. Dysphoria is, at best, a symptom of engaging with a world that wouldn't let me take the actions I needed early enough. Not fully convinced, but it's interesting.
