I don’t know why it is such an unreasonable take to claim that dysphoria has a neurologic origin and probably a developmental origin for many people. We all know social dysphoria is a thing but is is usually often a byproduct of growing up in a gender categorized world with neurologic dysphoria. But people in general, even some trans people, think it’s a social identity or lifestyle that they can choose or develop into and have politicized this neurologic condition to death.

It’s really frustrating trying to talk about what might cause my particular dysphoria since there’s at least some research into why, and getting down voted to hell or gaslighting me with the likes of ‘there is no war in ba sing se’. I’ve seen this attitude launched at so many other people, from those who seem absolutely unable to grasp the real world situation about this condition. I personally don’t care what people use to describe their personal situation unless It is an unreasonable b******* opinion like saying gender feels like a color, but can we knock it off with dragging people pursuing their dysphoria as a medical condition?

What exactly is the cause of this pervasive fear? Is it copium for people who think they can control these feelings? Do they just not understand the difference between this line of scientific thinking and the fake biologic essentialism that Republicans preach? Are there people who want to hide the world from the truth because the truth is an inconvenience?

Whatever it is, I’m tired of the rampant ignorance. Facts about how mother nature works don’t conform to people’s feelings, and you certainly shouldn’t drag someone for citing the facts for their own life situation because you don’t like them.
