Convincing a trans person that they're trans because of trauma is incredibly harmful. It's a conversion practice. Lots of people like to make a connection between trauma and gender dysphoria but there's not much research or other evidence to back it up. People need to know that.

If you're into therapy, you could try finding a therapist who specializes in trauma and is open-minded about trans stuff, who's not going to care about what gender you end up identifying as in the end.

I’m not saying you’re wrong and I certainly don’t want to be used as a gotcha against trans people but (at least at this point) it seems that my dysphoria is trauma based...? - Show replies
