I mean, i don't understand why the experience has to be universal in the first place.  Everyone's different, I don't understand not believing that someone has gender dysphoria if they tell me they do.

Did you even read any of my comments? please quote where I said I wont believe someone if they tell me they have gender dysphoria.

What I said is, gender dysphoria is a real thing that almost all trans people have, but I am also open to the possibility that some minority of trans people dont have gender dysphoria. A trans person on this thread said they dont have gender dysphoria, so I started exploring that idea and came up with interesting conversation.

I agree with you, someone who’s always using surgery to look like someone else must be experiencing some kind of mental illness/ difficulties and I feel like it’s becoming more and more common.

 

In my case, I knew I had to transition because I had severe dysphoria with certain parts of my body to the point were I was depressed for years and wanted to kill myself. I’m not saying that people have to experience gender dysphoria as bad as I experienced it to be trans but I feel like they at the very least have to feel some discomfort in their body.

Now if someone wants to transition but doesn’t feel gender dysphoria and is old enough to understand the consequences of transitioning, who am I to judge.

I feel discomfort and I've felt discomfort before with my body and gender assigned at birth but I choose to not call it gender dysphoria bc of the context of those words. Like I said, I prefer to narrate my transition through gender euphoria, it makes me happier and healthier, it took a me year to be at this place. the trans experience is diverse.

I’m glad you found a way to feel happier with your transition, but the feelings you described are literally textbook definition of gender dysphoria. You choosing not to call it that doesn’t mean it’s not dysphoria.

No need to get defensive, I was participating in the Convo you were trying to have???

I understand what you’re saying and I understand why you prefer to talk about gender euphoria ! If it makes you happier, that’s what matters the most to me !

And as you said, the trans experience is diverse, of course ! And I respect your point of view, I am proud of you because I know how hard it can be to find happinness and be healthy, I wish you the best, you are a beautiful human being

Just watched the full video, and I disagree that deradicalization is not effective. You cant win by throwing a pie on peoples face, and trying to pass laws. You wont even be able to pass laws unless the culture shifts. Even if you were effective in passing a law, the law wont be that much effective if the culture doesnt change. Has racism ended in America? technically yes, but obviously the culture is more effective than the laws passed. Which is why people like Ben Shapiro say "name one racist/sexist law" as a proof that women and black people dont suffer in America, when in reality America being racist doesnt have to come from laws.

She then concludes that the real enemy are republican white men, not women like JK Rowling and Hilary Clinton lol

I love all Contra's videos, but this one is bad in my opinion.
