This is the rest of the message from the Anon discussing dysphoria.
Thank you for reminding me–and the people who read my blog–that there are some people like Anon who are suffering terribly from a strong dysphoria. I will tell you, Anon, that my child does not feel this way (by her own admission), so I don’t even have the experience of knowing someone personally who is going through what you are. I have read quite a bit of “the other side” that you mention, and I am prepared to accept that there are likely a few people for which hormones and surgery are appropriate (apart from intersex people, who of course need medical intervention). I just think it’s a small minority.
Also, in reading the “other side” online, I see a lot of euphoria when people first transition. Later, There are many accounts of depression and people feeling like transition wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. But the young teens who are gender nonconforming are mostly watching those ecstatic transition videos and stories. It’s not a balanced view.
