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 …

And if you talked to someone about it, say a parent or teacher, welp, that's just evidence they coerced you into thinking you were trans, especially if they were at all sympathetic or supportive.

Transphobes will come at you a hundred different ways over this, but they simply refuse to believe there is any valid experience of gender separate from biological sex and nothing can convince them otherwise.

As a trans person, you're just not allowed to win. So they want to talk about Orwellian or Kafkaesque bullshit? This hostility is something trans people have to navigate from childhood on.

Even if they acknowledge you had / have "cross-gender feelings," they will tell you it's a sin, you were possessed by a demon, it's a delusion or mental illness, it was forced on you by someone else, or any of a hundred other excuses for why ultimately you're wrong.

TERFs will very quickly take off their Concerned Clinician Hat and put on their Feminist Cultural Critic Hat when they have these convos Because there's always "objective" reasons that "anyone" might prefer to be a man or a woman and if it's one of those reasons it's invalid

"How do we know you don't just want to be a man because men in our society are given power and agency and freedom?" "How do we know you don't just want to be a woman because women in our society are allowed to openly express emotion and receive tenderness without shame?"

It's the same tedious line of endless questioning that characterized ex-gay therapy "So when you go around fuckin' other dudes do you do it because you actually enjoy it or because you hate your dad and want to get back at him" Who the fuck actually cares

Buddy, if you've read your Freud, you'd realize I don't so much as pour myself a glass of water without doing it to hate my dad and get back at him
