the hardest part about talking to cis people who genuinely want to understand being trans/nonbinary is that you can’t properly explain what it feels like. I can tell someone what gender dysphoria & euphoria are, but if they’re cis they usually don’t fully get it

so frequently "Yes! That describes exactly my mourning process and the feeling of being born right, having that taken away," the same as a trans man would feel about not having the birth classification of an intact penis.

cis men in accidents where their genitalia are injured feel emasculated, cis women who cannot bear children feel less valid as women and people, etc: the way society views people is really what causes dysphoria, arguably, and for someone to be seen as less of a person due to?

thank you for this! those examples are really good and I bet I can use them to explain dysphoria better
-
anyways just a few thoughts! someone pointed out to me once and it made so much sense, figured sharing could only help~
