The people who are really into gatekeeping will try to pick this apart "You don't mean *every* form of 'wanting' transition is dysphoria do you? What if you just want to transition to join the 19th-century Army? What if you're being paid to do it by an eccentric billionaire?"

I don't believe that it's plausible Jesse Thorn's daughter has NEVER experienced what some chud like Singal thinks of as "real dysphoria", but I believe it probably only happened after she entered school and had to deal with a transphobic society

And I believe that on the off chance she really didn't "experience dysphoria" in the sense Singal means -- she's never felt that overpowering sense of wrongness like your hand being stuck on a hot stove and not being allowed to lift it -- then that's to be fucking celebrated

Holy shit, a set of parents whose trans kid *never* truly felt dysphoric because as soon as she said "I'm a girl" she was listened to and believed? Someone jerked their hand back from the stove so fast it didn't even leave a scar? That's a goddamn Christmas miracle

And some fucking creep, some fucking sadist like Dusty Springroll here, thinking he's a hero for holding your hand on the stove "until you know for sure if it's really hot"

Maybe if you keep your hand there long enough you'll learn the bullshit twisted Tough Guy version of Buddhism where you find out that heat and cold are "illusions" and pain can be ignored and be a tough strong hardened adult (with a maimed hand), like Paul Atreides in Dune
