Comment on want to be a woman

  Eh I’ve never had dysphoria (I’ve always loved my body) but ever since I learned that my bits are different from some other peoples’, I’ve wanted so much to be able to switch back and forth, to experience both kinds!

    Yea I feel this like I’m cool as a dude and wouldn’t want to not have been/be a dude but I really like experiencing different things and it’d be neat to experience being a woman for a bit

      It would be awesome if my SO and I could switch for a day.

  Dysphoria by definition is about feeling bad (wikipedia calls it “a profound sense of unease”, which seems pretty apt). It’s the opposite of euphoria after all.

  You can be trans without gender dysphoria though, nothing wrong with that.

    Damn, I never made that connection. That’s neat. Shame they didn’t go with cacophoria though. I like that better.

  thats just not what dysphoria is.

  dysphoria is a sense of unease and discomfort with ones own self. its a mental disorder. wishing you were a girl does not mean you have dysphoria.

  I don’t think the desire to be seen as a woman and the desire to be a woman are congruous

  wishing you were a woman is a form of dysphoria.

  And wishing I was anywhen else than now is a form of?
