DupaCyckiAs I understand it, being trans even in the most accepting environment is an uncomfortable experience at best. Even traumatizing.
I’d love to see a world where being trans is as normalized and accepted as eye color.
The trauma and dysphoria come almost exclusively from societies attempts to shove us into a box. From being othered, from being told we don’t understand our own bodies and minds. Being trans is uncomfortable at times, yes, but so is just being a human being.
Doesn’t body dysmorphia exist outside of society though? I don’t know if there’s been any anthropological study done, but I would assume that it would exist and be traumatizing regardless of the society you were in.
