We really need to distinguish between actual gender dysphoria and ROGD - the gender critical community needs to be very careful not to completely deny that GD is a real thing. Not EVERYTHING is a social construction.

@SashaLPC ROGD is *actual* dysphoria--it just comes on rapidly, usually in adolescence, with no earlier history. It's no more a social construction than any other kind of bodily distress. Social contagion and social construction aren't the same thing.3 replies 1 retweet 11 likes -

I was disagreeing with the idea that transgenderism can’t be real or that no GD is real bc gender is a social construction.

Makes sense. But even if one doesn't believe it's possible for someone to be "in the wrong body", the unhappiness (dysphoria) can be very real, right?
