Friendly reminder that:
-You must experience dysphoria in order to be trans
-No one chooses their gender
-Gender is not a fashion accessory
-Plants, stars, foods, and animals are not genders

uh no you don’t i love my female body and i am 100% trans you don’t get to decide i’m not trans just because you can’t accept that dysphoria isn’t a fucking symptom of being transgender.

Except dysphoria IS a symptom of being transgender. You can’t be trans if you don’t have some kind of dysphoria, be it body dysphoria or mental dysphoria. Being trans is literally a medical condition. I battle with dysphoria every day. People don’t get to just one day decide to be trans even though they have 0 dysphoria. That’s like deciding that you’re blind even though you can still see perfectly fine.

Trans is not a fucking accessory. You can’t choose to be trans. People who act like it is enforce the thought that it can be “cured” and basically fuel transphobic hate.
