I'm not trans, I just have crippling gender dysphoria that would be alleviated with medical transition "I'm not trans I have GD" is very "ex gay" isn't itpic.twitter.com/HHzosc9squ

People are encouraged to try to find the "root cause" behind their dysphoric feelings instead of seeing them as a sign of being trans. Often this is some kind of trauma. Healing the trauma or other "root cause" is supposed to make the dysphoria go away.
I think I told you this a while ago, but it's very poignant to me that this is so because, pre-transition, I spent a lifetime trying to figure out what trauma had caused my mental health issues and being frustrated that no uncle ever sexually abused me or anything like that.

And, it turned out that these symptoms that many therapists and psychiatrists had seen as hints of a deeply buried past trauma were just... gender dysphoria. Stuff like having trouble being naked/showering, etc.

This is more or less what happened with me. Spent a decade working through my stuff, trauma included, and living as a butch/GNC woman before concluding that I was treading water. Therapy wasn’t really working. My transition was rocky for sure but ultimately helpful.
