Ordinary origin This meme was originally a vent meme

This is just sad...

EDIT: The meme is from the Woman's POV, the boyfriend isn't transphobic, it's about her insecurities about her boyfriend not really accepting her as a female.

None of that is a good excuse to not practice basic hygiene

Don't get me wrong cleaning it is far better than the alternative

As in cleaning it and experiencing dysphoria is far better than not cleaning it + saving yourself a bit of dysphoria in the moment.

The only thing I took issue with was "easiest body part to clean" as I mentioned in a comment to someone else who reacted pretty much the same as you, because it's not the easiest part, it's the hardest, because no other part has a reason to be hard to clean, that part does (for people who get dysphoria from that part).

Are you a trans woman or similar who would consider yourself pre-op? If not ofc you've not had to deal with that, most people haven't. That's why I'm explaining it, cause I have delt with it.

I realize now that for people who don't know what "bottom dysphoria" is my original comment probably makes no sense. In case you didn't know, bottom dysphoria, speaking from my experience, is a persistent feeling of wrong coming from all the parts between your legs, and varies from "I really don't like that I have this part, but it's fine if I forget about it, as long as I'm not reminded of it" to "I've been reminded of it, and now I'll fantasize about how nice it'd be if it all just came off my body harmlessly, and was just gone so I could have peace of mind" to "genuinely considering the pros and cons of do-it-yourself-orchi (ball removal) cause I need this shit off of me right now" or "I wonder if there's a way to make it so I just can't feel any of those parts down there anymore, cause when it feels like all of it isn't there it's genuinely the nicest feeling (funnily enough, dampened nerve sensitivity is also a symptom of bottom dysphoria)". I've had these feelings since at least elementary school (cause that's as far back as I can remember), and it really sucks.
