FAQ - General (2)

>What if you were on a deserted island/in a world with no gender differences/somewhere where genders were all equal?
This question typically stems from the idea that gender is purely a social construct. Generally, dysphoria is not just a social thing about activities or dress. Instead, dysphoria often presents as discomfort with a body, and since men and women have different physical features associated with the terms, the physical body has a large part to play in the transgender experience. Everyone has a mental map of their body, and for trans people this often does not align with their physical body. If a mental map includes a flat chest and a penis, then a stereotypically female body causes distress in that person.

>But if gender is a social construct, can't you just be a masculine woman or a feminine man?
This is very closely tied to the previous question. Someone who is a masculine woman or a feminine man typically does not have any body dysphoria; those things are generally considered a social presentation. The broad concept of gender also includes “gender identity”, which is an innate sense of self that can also be called “brain sex”. Gender identity tends to be much more physical than clothes or gender roles.

FAQ - General (3)

>I don't experience dysphoria, am I still trans?
Not all trans people experience dysphoria. Some trans people only experience gender euphoria, which is feeling very happy while imagining themselves as their preferred gender. Some people experience neither, but have a general preference for a gender that is not the one they were assigned. Others may have dysphoria, but only recognize it as dysphoria after HRT is started or when further research is done.

>I don't want to go through with something typically associated with the traditional trans experience, does that mean I am not trans?
No. There are infinite trans narratives, and none of them are any less legitimate than others. Not everyone wants SRS. Not everyone wants a social transition. Not everyone wants HRT. None of these make someone not trans.

>I didn't have signs as a child, does that mean I'm not trans?
No. Just like the previous question, everyone has a different experience. Not all trans people show “signs” as children. In fact, many trans people only figure it out as adults or mature adults. No group is “more trans” than the other, they are simply different paths to the same conclusion.

All showed significant improvement in their psychological health, and they had notably lower rates of internalizing psychopathology than previously reported among trans children living as their natal sex. Well-being was similar to or better than same-age young adults from the general population.

>The only disorders more common among trans people are those associated with abuse and discrimination - mainly anxiety and depression. Early transition virtually eliminates these higher rates of depression and low self-worth, and dramatically improves trans youth's mental health. Trans kids who socially transition early and who are not subjected to abuse or discrimination are comparable to cisgender children in measures of mental health.

Additional advice from OP here:

Bait posts happen often here, notably with a theme of explicitly or implicitly denigrating trans or even other queer people here, and the jannies are not able to monitor and take down every rule-breaking thread.

So in the meantime it’s best practice to report and hide said threads, and if you must absolutely reply to one then to place the word “sage” without quotations in the “options” section of your post. It’s also common practice to add “sage” in the “name” section as to signal lurkers in the thread to additionally sage the thread when responding.

idk if this was at all related to my post earlier today comparing gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia, but i genuinely believe your points would be a good starting point to have in an FAQ sticky on this board. /tttt/ has needed a faq of resources for years, yet hasn't gotten it.

i'd like to add that, in my opinion, it is important tox try to use objective(external of me) measurements for gender dysphoria, like third-party individuals using she/her instead of he/him, in real life scenarios that observe my physical behavior irl.

it is obviously difficult for people to determine what they personally experience, but this is a long-term method of analysis, and i would only accept failure in the context of an individual like I, where continuous failure spans over a year at absolute minimum.

if you are someone measuring off of a relatively short timespan, i heavily encourage you to expect better results than you anticipate after a period of effort.

Yes, I replied how it was perfect for a /FAQ/ and I decided to just format a thread befitting for a FAQ thread including your post. I’ll also include your additional input/advice for trannies measuring the intensity of their dysphoria when gendered one way vs other and the weight of this individualized personal test one conducts between short-term and long-term testing.

>no group is more trans than the other
correct
>but what about how these other trannies transition for this reason I don’t agree with?!!
Crossdressers (the group you’re fearful of for optics sake) typically do not transition (taking HRT, surgeries, etc.) and in their day to day exist comfortably as their agab. The whole point of gender identity is that it’s a personal, internal meaning to the individual, devoid of outsiders’ opinions on the individual. You’re essentially making the argument TERFs make when saying “trans women do not exist” which is just policing the personal identities of others because the existence of them disturbs the transphobe.
>you don’t need dysphoria to be trans
also correct, again although many of us experience this universal turmoil, many of us reach a point where we stop experiencing dysphoria after living the gender we identify as. It’s the equivalent of how cis people can experience dysphoria up until they alleviate the causes for said dysphoria, and are by then no longer dysphoric (i.e. a cis man with gynecomastia gets top surgery and feels comfortable in his gender identity again).
>Blanchard was debunked
Also correct, his theories are filled with holes in logic, fail to take into account asexual trannies, and is consistently criticized by the larger scientific community on the subject of trans identities. So I wouldn’t invest energy in a quack scientist unless you also subscribe to flat earth theorists.
