My opinion on non-dysphoric trans people

littlejowo:

As someone who deals with extreme dyphoria, I HATE the idea that you HAVE to be dysphoric to be trans.

What makes you trans isn’t your amount of suffering, the way you present yourself, your wish to transition/not to transition, your clothes, or your political standing.

If you identify as trans, you’re trans.

So many trans people say that genetalia does not define your gender, nor does the way you present. Yet they invalidate trans people who agree with that?

Not all trans people care about their bodies. They can feel okay with having a body that doesn’t suit their identity, because they know that their genetalia doesn’t change how they identify.

Dysphoric or not, if you identify as male, you’re male. If you identify as female, you’re female. If you identify as another gender, then you’re another gender.

As for non-dysphoric people “taking up trans resources”?? I don’t think they do.

Chances are they aren’t transitioning, so they sure aren’t taking up our options to take hormones or have surgery. They aren’t taking therapists away from us. They aren’t taking support away from us.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO HATE YOURSELF OR YOUR BODY TO BE TRANS.

Sincerely, a heavily dysphoric trans guy who’s tired of other dysphoric trans people not taking their own words to heart.

That being said, trans care shouldn’t have a quota.


Let me rephrase that: there should be no limit on who qualifies for, and recieves trans related care.


There’s enough trans care to go around.


If there isn’t enough, let’s work on fixing the shortage rather than cutting people off from recieving care.


You don’t have to experience dysphoria to be trans, and you don’t have to experience dysphoria to want/need to socially transition, to medically transition, or to need a support nework.

If you’re comfortable, and are trans/nonbinary, that’s awesome! I’m so proud of every single one of you! If anyone ever tells you that you can’t be proud of yourself because of having little or no dysphoria, that person is horrid and wrong
