I once ate a whole burger.

but 

my psychiatrist literally doesn’t trust me when i say im 100% sure i need T because she met two different “trans” who used nounself pronouns in the last month 

It is. It absolutely is hurting people suffering with this condition. Because when you say you’re trans but you don’t have dysphoria - you just “feel like a man because you like to wear suits”; you’re perpetuating the idea that transsexualism is just a reaction to gender roles. People need to know that what I have is a medical condition, not a choice. And you saying that anyone can “choose to be trans” means that the majority of people don’t understand that.

So I have to go stealth and be misunderstood by the majority of people.

On the behalf of dysphoric trans people, stop saying that you’re not hurting anyone.

It’s not really erasure to say that “you need to have dysphoria to be trans”, the same way it wouldn’t be erasure to say “you cant be diabetic without the symptoms of diabetes” 

Certain labels have a requirement for one to be considered part of that group, it’s not erasure, it’s just how things are classified so that we can refer to and describe things without too much confusion. Removing or drastically changing the definition of a label kind of destroys its meaning, like what is currently happening with the label ‘transgender’.

I have seen people include any person that is gender variant in it, making anyone even slightly outside of normal societal gender expectations suit the label that was intended for people who are experiencing dysphoria and (often) transitioning. The same with  drag kings/queens, transvestites, people who are intersex and several other groups. These are all labels of their own and don’t really need to be under the ‘Trans umbrella’ as many call it. Being transgender isn’t a spectrum nor is it a catch all term 

Some definitions are more ‘fuzzy’ than others, sorter edges and meanings. Medical conditions I think should stay strict in their meanings, the ability to diagnose correctly depends on it.

What do you use as a definition for male and female? Ability to produce ovum or sperm? Chromosomes? Genitalia? All three have their pros and cons when used to define sex.

The post you linked to does not give any definitions for male or female, it just explains several intersex conditions” with literally no sources listed for any of the information given other than “I’m totally a medical professional guys, honest!!!”

There are two sexes: male and female.

Females face sex based oppression due to our sex characteristics and secondary sex characteristics, ability to become pregnant and bear children. Females have XX chromosomes (there are instances and abnormalities, but those rare instances do not disprove human’s sexual dimorphism) and have vaginas, vulvas, uteruses and cervix, tend to menstruate.

Males have XY chromosomes (again, instances and rare exceptions including -disorders- but medical disorders do not disprove the female and male sexes much like being born with nine toes does not disprove humans are born with ten) can produce sperm, has outside sex organs such as a penis and testicles, has a prostate and carries the SRY gene.

You have repeated that the definitions are set, yet you yourself state in both definitions that there are exceptions to them, so they are not as clear cut as you keep making them out to be. 

Look at the definition of ‘life’, it has long been controversial as to what it should mean. Are viruses included? Would artificially created life count as an organism?

Even ‘sex’ has several definitions, yours being one of many. Some use a 5 point criteria, most far less.  The operational definition, for example, only refers to  gamete production.

Medical conditions however most often have strict diagnostic guidelines that only change with a consensus from the medical community.

I and someone else I’ve known have been waiting for years to get any treatment, I’m still waiting for a psychologist appointment.

Just because they want to be absolutely sure I’m not one of those twits who’ll just become dysphoric afterwards because they’re moronic enough to think “oh you don’t need dysphoria, that’s just those NASTY MEANIE POO TRUSCUM”

On top of doing their darndest to make sure trans people aren’t taken remotely seriously, they’re really doing the transphobes proud. Anti-truscum are a conservative’s greatest ally, pushing things like how dysphoria don’t real and it’s all a pretty fashion statement!
