I think it's more like gender euphoria being a different gender than gender dysphoria being the current gender.
If you're fine with your current gender, I don't think you necessarily qualify for gender dysphoria, which is why I think being trans is more about gender euphoria than gender dysphoria.
Until this comment, I had no idea that dysphoria was an antonym for euphoria. Yet it makes sense.
The price of eggs is too high to be cracking them this recklessly.
Does it count as dysphoria if I'm ashamed of being a guy after reading some of the garbage posted by other men in the internet?
In my opinion it is a good way to start the „Am I actually male, or is it just what everyone told me?” thought. I am not Saying that you cant identify as non cis because you are ashamed about what Nazis (Let's just call them what they are) make out males to be. But if you actually really 100% (I can't stress this enough, if you just have a faintest afterthought, just don't block it with the „I am a male” argument) identify yourself as male, you should not choose a gender you are less comfortable with because there are some bad people there. Bad people are everywhere. Alice weidel and the Braune Lappen are woman too. People who gatekeep being non cis are non cis too. So just identify as the gender you feel best with.
Good point. I am comfortable with my gender, but sometimes my mind goes to a darker place. Thanks for the words of encouragement, I feel I needed them.
Well, for what it's worth, I've always felt closer and identified to girls, girl characters and behavior stereotypes identified as female by the broad public not out of active adhesion to them but rather than absolute rejection of men.
I long pondered then possibility of seeking transition, and to a certain extent still am, but ended up more or less getting to terms that my sex is "male" and my gender is "traitor"
Being an active traitor to my group (and not a "good" man) is, I suppose the best I can do. Not as a feminist ally but as an enemy of masculinity.
It may sound dumb, but that's where I belong right now.
Dysphoria doesn't feel like dysphoria if you've expierenced it your entire life. Instead it just feels normal.
If you're thinking about transitioning, don't be deterred if you don't feel actively distressed by your current apparent gender. Dysphoria can be crippling for some, and subtle for others.
It wasn't until I started HRT that I learned what it really felt like to feel fine. Only then did I realize how not fine I was before.

Where do I buy this on a shirt.
You have no idea how much I sympathize with this. It is so hard to convince myself that any of this is real some days, on top of all the other problems that forcing myself to realize "I have a body" in geneal causes
If you want to make that shirt I'll buy one. I don't think I'm quoting someone by accident. Have at it if you're inspired.
It’s actually really validating for you to say that, thank you! For so long I thought that every guy was secretly disappointed that they hadn’t been born a girl
I think part of why trans folks end up with this misconception is that there are a bunch of cishet guys who'd happily be a girl for a day. But it's usually for sexual reasons only (I get to touch boobs!) and they definitely want to change back at the end. Whereas I was always fine with the concept of "being changed into a girl indefinitely" but it was usually as a thing outside my control, so I didn't have to consider wanting it.
Oh absolutely, how lonely I felt having undiagnosed ADHD for 30+ years. I never knew why I felt so misunderstood until I realized what was making me different from everyone else. The past 4 years post diagnosis has been revelation after revelation as I recontextualize my entire life.
I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone.
And thats why im non binary.
I would really love for look more female, and if I has I would absolutely take estrogen for that, but I have no Problem with being adressed with male pronouns
What if I feel that way, but only because of societal factors. And I don’t want periods and all the harassment.

Yep! Realizing thoughts like those were actually dysphoria is big part of what cracked my egg
Damn you don't have to hit me like that.
