do u need dysphoria to be trans? (in ur opinion)

stfu cissie

Remember, not all trans people experience dysphoria. Excluding and/or not accepting trans people that don't experience dysphoria is transphobic.

Gay people can be homophobic, for example: "I'm gay and I hate gays. But I'm not homophobic! Because I'm gay." People of color can be racist, men and women can be sexist towards their own gender... and trans people can be transphobic. Being part of a community and hating the people in that community can come hand in hand.

bro i literally cant be transphobic im literally trans
lmaooo

"If you don't experience dysphoria, you're not trans" is transphobic. We need to be accepting.

Of course I can have an opinion. You don't need to be gay to understand that homophobia isn't right, and you don't need to be trans to understand that not everyone (in the trans community) experiences dysphoria. Read the article or ask https://www.reddit.com/r/trans/ (a community of over 126 000 trans people).

if ur cis u don’t get an opinion ❤️❤️

Yes I am (being cis does not mean I don't understand).

Alright then. If you ever have a friend that is questioning and does not know how to tell if they're trans, you know where to find the community (Reddit is the LBGT hub).

@Suzuki i mean im not trans and i made this poll just to see what actual trans ppl thought. im not really that invested

Talking to the moderators is worth creating an account. (Best way to talk to more trans.)

@Suzuki i dont use reddit

Try asking the same question on https://www.reddit.com/r/trans/ (a community of more than 126 000 trans), they're friendly.

@Suzuki its ppl outside my friend group, liek just strangers on twitter. i would see posts all the time abt it

There are more trans people in the world, outside of your friend group. Not everyone experiences dysphoria.

@Suzuki i think every trans person ive met has said you do and i think thats more proof than a cis person

I don't have to be trans to sympathize with them, or spread awareness. I did not write the article, it was written by trans human rights activists.

@Suzuki u dont get a say in this then

I am cis.

@Suzuki r u cis?

@Suzuki i wasnt i was just really confused, one of the ppl u replied to is trans and most trans ppl i talk to say u do need it but thanks ig

Don't take it as a personal attack. :)

You didn't understand why trans people don't need to experience dysphoria, right? That's why I looked up the article. You might inadvertently hurt someone if you don't understand, that's why spreading awareness is important.

@Suzuki im not confused about the article im confused about why youre so passionate abt this /rh

I was gone for a while because of college admissions exams. If you're confused, consider reading the entire article, I'm sure you'll like it: https://transequality.org/issues/resources/frequently-asked-questions-about-transgender-people

@Suzuki why did you come on an acc after 28 days just to comment

I commented so that the others would see. That article might be of help, even if you're not trans.

@Suzuki dude u dont need to comment it on every single thing, idk why u would be trans but then still like having ur birth sex body but ok

@revenge "Not all transgender people have gender dysphoria. On its own, being transgender is not considered a medical condition. Many transgender people do not experience serious anxiety or stress associated with the difference between their gender identity and their gender of birth, and so may not have gender dysphoria."

as a trans person i'd say yes, you do need dysphoria to be trans, but this is only based off the fact that i myself experience dysphoria and i don't really understand why someone would want to be trans

@southparkestellaismywife420 (I don't have another account.) You don't need to experience dysphoria to be trans, a lot of trans don't.

"What is gender dysphoria? For some transgender people, the difference between the gender they are thought to be at birth and the gender they know themselves to be can lead to serious emotional distress that affects their health See More▼ and everyday lives if not addressed. Gender dysphoria is the medical diagnosis for someone who experiences this distress.
