The idea that severe dysphoria = brainworms is infuriating

I know there are actual bdd brainwormed people don’t get me wrong. But in the mainstream trans community, if you have severe dysphoria you will immediately be criticized and treated like a retard for it. You will be told that it’s problematic to want to pass, or that you just need to get therapy (therapy is magic guys), or best of all you will be informed that you use the internet too much. As if somehow the way I feel about myself has been direly affected by shitposting on 4chan.

It drives me crazy. If someone has severe dysphoria about their genitals they get empathy, everyone acknowledges their pain. No one is calling them gockphobic or some shit. But if you have crushing dysphoria about any other extremely masculine feature, you are essentially just told to get over it. It’s internalized transphobia to be ashamed of your manface. You are just a self-hating loser piece of shit for thinking these things and you need to unlearn your biases and just accept being a vxlid estrogenized testosterone demon.

I dont have ‘brainworms’ because I used tttt, I use tttt because I have dysphoria that is so bad that it’s essentially unpalatable to normie trans people. I have taken year long breaks from tttt and my dysphoria has never gone away.
