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
That kind of thinking is super common among ideological detrans people. That's how I tried to suppress being trans. I learned to reframe dysphoria as a symptom of trauma/internalized sexism instead of just letting myself be trans.

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.
