These 5 Myths About Body Dysphoria in Trans Folks Are Super Common – But Also Super Wrong

crossdreamers:

Sam Dylan Finch presents five myths about transgender body dysphoria in this post.

Myth #1: Body Dysphoria Happens Because You’re in the ‘Wrong Body’

Myth #2: Body Dysphoria Is Necessary to Being Trans

Myth #3: Body Dysphoria Is Essentially Experienced the Same for Every Trans Person

Myth #4: With a Little Self-Love and a Better Attitude, Body Dysphoria Can Be Fixed

Myth #5: Non-Binary and Genderqueer People Don’t Experience Body Dysphoria

Sam explains:

Sometimes there’s this misconception that non-binary people aren’t completely trans, or that their experiences of being trans are somehow less serious, less valid, or less sincere. This myth extends over to our experiences with dysphoria, too, which are often assumed to not exist or not be as serious.
