These are the kind of memes that forced me to discover that I had a shell. So... Thanks a lot...

This is an incredibly uncomfortable thing for me (a CIS male) to think about - how alien it must feel to have been born with a body that doesn’t match your gender identity. I can only imagine it as an “out of place” feeling that never goes away.
Anyone who has to live like that deserves all the empathy I am capable of, and that’s why I think that chipping away at trans rights is utterly reprehensible.
- Think of it as feeling somewhat out of uncomfortable or out of place but you can't figure out why.
  
  but you can’t figure out why
  yeah that's the thing! I've always hated going to the beach since puberty (but went nonetheless) and I really didn't know why. Now I know and everything makes sense!

  I don't have gender dysphoria, at least not very strongly but I do have species dysphoria and I would say that that description is kind of accurate to how it feels.

  I also think it's absolutely evil how a lot of transphobes also put down people like me with species dysphoria and try to use us to make fun of other trans people. What's worse is how this affects how other trans people treat me and people like me. I've had people attack me because they thought I was trying to be transphobic when talking about this stuff but I'm not, I'm describing how it feels to me.
