Man. my gender dysphoria has done a COMPLETE 180 degree turn in these past few years.
HATE transmedicalism for making me believe that I couldn’t just get top surgery without going all the way, like. Idk I wanted to stop Testosterone as soon as I woke up from my mastectomy and that’s when I knew i was just. A cisgender girl who had dysphoria abt her chest. I don’t think I ever had any issues with my body otherwise. But transmedicalism made me believe that made me ‘bad’, a ‘faker’, or worse, a ‘transtrender’).
BUT at the time I was kind of entrenched in transmedicalist-adjacent communities who shut that shit down when I brought it up.
Years later? In the end repressing it doesn’t work. So YES it is ok to do what you want.
Cisgender but dysphoric? Me too! That’s neat.
Transgender but non-dysphoric? Not a contradiction at all.
Non-dysphoric but you DO still want to medically transition? Perfectly fine!
Dysphoric but do NOT want to medically transition? Also perfectly fine!
Your life is entirely your own and you do NOT have to live according to what is expected of you. Don’t repress any aspects of yourself that are authentic, that will only lead to regret and frustration later on down the line, whether you are cis, trans, or some other thing else entirely. Fuck transmedicalism and those that enforce it.
