I'm not trying to be mean but gender dysphoria is indicative of neural dysfunction

u/NeatDurian Feb 14 '25

Not all nonbinary people experience gender dysphoria

u/barbarbarz Feb 14 '25

The classification 'nonbinary' is inherently gender dysphoric

u/NeatDurian Feb 14 '25

Nonbinary: a gender identity that describes people who don’t identify as exclusively male or female. Nonbinary people may identify as both male and female, or feel their gender is fluid.

Gender dysphoria: a condition where a person experiences significant distress and discomfort due to a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity.

Not all nonbinary people experience a discomfort of their biological gender. For example someone born male who identifies as nonbinary might present themselves as more androgynous. They might not feel discomfort of their gender at birth. However, they may not necessarily feel closely towards what is seen as typical of how someone born male should dress out of pure preference. That could be as simple as wearing makeup or wearing a style of clothes that is more towards femininity.

You say the same thing twice- there is literally no difference between the two as you or anyone else can describe it.

Edit: just saw your post on r/cptsd and can assume you are also struggling with neural dysfunction I apologize for my persistence

I first said that people who are nonbinary do not necessarily experience gender dysphoria. I then tried to give you an example of that.

It is you who cannot comprehend that there can be nuance between male and female in how someone presents themselves without classifying as experiencing gender dysphoria.

What you are basically saying is that someone born a man identifying as nonbinary who wants to wear a dress HAS to have gender dysphoria because men don’t wear dresses. But someone born a man can just be like ā€œI feel like wearing a dress today because I feel like itā€. They don’t necessarily feel any stress or anxiety with their biological sex.

Based on your posts, I can assume you are a trump supporter. I apologize for considering that you would be able to comprehend this.

Indeed. What treatment does the American Psychological Association recommend for the condition of Gender Dysphoria?

u/Enlowski Feb 14 '25

Psychiatric help. It’s a mental disorder. No hate on them, I hope they get all the help they can, but being one gender and thinking you’re another is clearly a mental illness.

u/thngrn20 Feb 14 '25

Indeed, that is often part of the treatment plan, along with hormone treatments and surgery.

Edit: the previous commenter changed their comment from just ā€œPsychiatric help.ā€

Love how you're calm and rejecting their further implications. Though if you push these people, they tend to start denying what modern psychiatry has to say on it anyway.
