But, "just because you're a little different from other women doesn't mean you're not a woman." I know. But detrans women aren't "a little" different from other women. When you're balding, bearded, boobless, with a man voice and Adams apple, you're very different from them. 2/5
You say it's obvious. Why didn't my psychiatrist? Why was that never brought up? Why are people not told - by professionals - that there are different kinds of dysphoria? Most people have no idea. Most dysphoric People have no idea.

Because the whole system has been overtaken by the politics behind it. It's now deemed transphobic to make differentiations for some reason. It's awful and it needs to change. Luckily there are still some good options left in some states and countries. Mine for example.

I agree. The politicisation of dysphoria is disgusting. Most of the professionals I've encountered didn't know anything about dysphoria, passed textbook reading.

I think many actual good health care professionals know. Diagnosing this specific disorder should require intensive research and practice...like it used to be for the most part. The true problem is that nobody wants to talk facts anymore. We need more research.

We do need more research. And sure, maybe many good HCPs do know. But I have to say, anecdotally, the sheer number of people I've spoken to - both trans and detrans, who were fast tracked through transition as if it was nothing, concerns me on a staggering scale.
