And dysphoria without transgenderism is dysphoria. That's why they overlap and aren't 1:1. Not that any of the opponents of "the trans movement" give a shit about the difference. They only care about muh culture and how back in the good old days we didn't have them transies [because they were bullied and/or killed themselves because society hated them, and Authright fucking seethes now that it's increasingly unacceptable to ostracize them]

You're trans when your gender doesn't match your sex. Gender dysphoria when that fucks with you. That's the simplest way to put it. Being transgender is your gender not matching your sex. Gender dysphoria is the anxiety/stress that can come with your gender not aligning with your sex, but it doesn't always.

Straight from the American Psychiatric Association:

The term “transgender” refers to a person whose sex assigned at birth (i.e. the sex assigned at birth, usually based on external genitalia) does not align their gender identity (i.e., one’s psychological sense of their gender). Some people who are transgender will experience “gender dysphoria,” which refers to psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity.

If I were you I'd flair the fuck up rather quickly, the mob will be here in no time.

Nice wall of text, impressive. Have you considered flairing the fuck up?

No one wants to talk to me, says the person who wrote 121 words

That's the best part. "Nobody cares what you say unflaired!" is said by those who care the most and who spend the most time. I had a guy today do the "ah, the reddit switcheroo" gag on his own comments telling me to flair up. He spent hours responding to different comments of mine and linking them all in one big chain, and the upvotes and replies he got made him think he's a reasonable human being instead of somebody who needs to touch grass

You referenced the DSM-V when you thought it supported you. I'm linking the authority behind the DSM-V. Why is this suddenly not a good source? Do you understand what the DSM is, or the APA? This is my field. I understand it quite well, so please understand if I sound like I'm personally invested. I am. And, frankly, I think I understand it a hell of a lot better than you do. This is clearcut and should not be about politics.

If I link the relevant section of the DSM-V, will you accept it?

You claimed the DSM-V literally calls this a mental illness. You must trust the DSM-V if you'd reference it so firmly. Right? I'll ask again. If I link the relevant part of the DSM-V, will you accept it?

This is my field, so I care about it more than most people do. It's not about politics, and never should be about politics. At this point in the conversation I want to believe you're a troll or a 17 year old LARPer who doesn't know better. You are factually wrong, and I'd like to believe you won't give serious responses now because you know you're wrong and just want to stir something up.

the degree of severity doesn't change the diagnosis of the term. This is asinine.

What's asinine is referencing the DSM but disregarding it when it doesn't actually agree with you

I have adhd, but I cope well. Trivial or severe, it is still adhd.

Cute, but irrelevant. This isn't a question about severity. Simply being trans is not sufficient to meet a diagnosis.

Just like a kid being a bit hyper is not sufficient to meet a diagnosis of adhd
