To prove you had / have dysphoria, you have to attempt suicide, but then that gets taken as a sign you're mentally ill and therefore, again, can't be trusted to have an accurate accounting of your own life.https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1377739992538050561 …

You gotta be Goldilocks apparently Kid's too happy, gotta let them stew in dysphoria for a while and get REALLY UNHAPPY before you let them get healthcare Unless they get TOO unhappy, then you gotta lock 'em up Gotta calibrate the trauma level to be JUST RIGHT

Here in NZ we have to get the formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria before any trans healthcare happens. I had to present as extremely stable (despite cPTSD, eating disorders etc.) or they would have vetoed treatment. But the GD was feeding into the other conditions. Catch 22.

Oh, right, get treatment only after you've spent 5-10 years getting over mental health problems, sounds like a great idea.
