Maybe it does but where does dysphoria come from? Transition is not like birth control, it’s only purpose is to make the body conform to a societal standard. Much like when I had an eating disorder & believed my body ‘should’ look a certain way. https://t.co/4uHbLXZg57
Hey, I was anorexic too! Fully symptom free for years before I transitioned, but I never lost the crawling feeling of body hatred... until I transitioned and now I no longer live with that. Transition is a medical miracle for those it helps.

Absolutely. Medical advances have offered a solution to many body image issues in the form of cosmetic surgery, even for those entirely comfortable with their sex. But I still don’t believe it’s a healthy solution nor the best one. That has to come from systemic change.

Studying history and particularly gender non-conformity within my own culture has helped a lot with that. I began to think of what I would do with myself if medical transition wasn’t an option, and that’s how I personally have chosen to live my life.
