If "gender dysphoria" is supposedly unbearable pain then why is wanting it such a common theme on transgender subreddits?

"When I first realized I was trans I hardly had dysphoria"

This is what happens when you de-couple transgenderism from the root mental illness. A normal person doesn't completely screw over the entire population for 'hardly' having anxiety, OCD, Bipolar, or depression.

Also how did you know you were trans without the dysphoria. This makes no sense anymore, they're just 100% pornsick men.

Men?

This lot are straight men who jack off to this, they’d be miserable on hormones + surgery living full time this way. Trans people who seem happy transitioned usually report bad dysphoria since they were young.

You do also get a few AGP who are really happy after srs because they found their libido and fetish completely impossible to control.

This is a mass delusion in my opinion. It's like any extremist religious person thinking insane things and justifying it through their religion.

But it has to be true. This book says so

Every one of them should receive psychotherapy before any transition is initiated.

These are always so fucking depressing to read. Makes me want to go over there and slap a ton of links to articles about AGP as a response. But it's no use.

These are people who are questioning their transness. They want the dysphoria because it validates that the choice to transition is the right thing for them.
