The screen that look me weeks to finish. I hand-painted it with glue, to be able to print through it. Why did I not just make the screen the normal way? I like to make my life incredibly difficult. (aka I didn’t want to leave my house and these were the supplies I had readily available).
Patches and posters available! I also printed this on a few shirts.

I read that a ‘illustration of homophobes’ and was so fucking confused until I scrolled back up.

And rest assured, official statement on this, I find all transmed and transmed-adjacent views hurtful and alienating. Even as a NB person who does experience dysphoria, I’m not down with gatekeeping. Transmeds are free to interact with me if that’s what they want, but I don’t support your views and I won’t defend them.
Every time a transmed person says they support the existence of NB people, but only with dysphoria, it reeks of “you’re not like those other ones, so it’s okay” and “you don’t count because you’re one of the good ones”.
I’ll defend your right not to be hatemobbed, but don’t think what you say doesn’t cut deep to all NB people on this website, who already have a lot of shit flung their way.
So then if you can be trans without dysphoria, what is it that makes someone trans?
As from what I know, dysphoria is the disconnect between what your gender and sex is. Without dysphoria, there is no “disconnect” between gender and sex, and thus, no reason to identify outside of what your sex is.
There is something that makes everyone something and to some degree, gatekeeping is necessary. What makes straight people straight, is the fact that they’re only attracted to the opposite sex/gender, what makes gay people gay is the fact that they’re attracted to the same sex/gender, what makes bi people bi is that they’re attracted to both the same and opposite sex/gender, etc.
Being that being trans isn’t a choice, just like how sexuality and any other gender isn’t a choice, there has to be something in some way that “makes” someone trans that is, for the most part, verifiable, or at least mostly universal across all experiences.
Of course there has to be something that “makes” people feel trans, but it’s not dysphoria. It’s euphoria. The feeling of “rightness” and, in a way, joy and satisfaction at being gendered correctly by others. My dysphoria is mild most of the time, I can usually go my day without wanting to, like, shapeshift into a perfectly androgynous wood elf free from misgendering, but the euphoria is always there. I am always so much happier when I’m not misgendered. Things feel right. And that’s definitely something you can pick up on in someone’s brain, too. Cis people won’t feel magically better if someone refers to them as a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth, and that’s where the key difference lies.
So euphoria from being their proper/correct gender? I understand where and how that makes sense.
Of course, I would expect everyone to be happier when they aren’t being misgendered or referred to/as/by something that they dislike or brings them discomfort. A cis person would probably have the sensation of weirdness or grossness being referred to as something other than their birth sex/gender. From personal experience in my youth, “trying to be” a boy had brought feelings that I would describe as, and that others have described as dysphoria.
But if someone doesn’t feel discomfort in being referred to as their birth gender/sex, why would they feel euphoria being referred to something that isn’t that?
Not to mention, in the whole “dysphoria vs non-dysphoria” thing is that a lot of people who are pro non-dysphoria so to say, promote being trans as something that you can just “do” or “be” just like you’d wear a shirt or a dress, related to the trend of tucutes a couple years back. That’s where a lot of transmed beliefs initially originate from.
I spent a few minutes trying to word this in a way that makes any sense whatsoever, so forgive me for this metaphor being a little out of sorts. I’ve been stressing over finals so much my brain is mush.
Essentially, it’s like having a favourite colour. Say it’s blue. You don’t have any least favourite colours, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, but blue is your favourite. But all the people you meet insist it’s green. You don’t have any issues with green, you have no problem wearing green, wearing it doesn’t gross you out or anything, but it’s not your favourite colour, and every time someone insists that you don’t actually like blue it gets more frustrating and invalidating and upsetting. Like, damn, you’d think other people would know you know best what your own favourite colour is. So if someone comes up to you and is all, “Yeah, your favourite colour IS blue. You may be wearing green right now, but that doesn’t change your favourite colour,” it’s a joy and relief.
For cis people, all their clothes are their favourite colour automatically.
So there’s an acknowledgement of how you feel your gender really is, but it doesn’t cause intense distress. It’s just a thing you’re aware of. Like if you dyed your hair blonde. You know your natural colour is brown, but you’re fine with it looking blonde. Just an awareness.
I understand where you are going w/ the analogy, but the part that doesn’t make sense to me is the more frustrating and invalidating and upsetting part.
Because from what I know, those feelings of being upset and frustrated would qualify as dysphoria. I never considered dysphoria as something where you have to hate your body or cause intense distress (or the color to go with the analogy) but just the fact that it “isn’t right” so to say even if it is relatively mild or minor.
I mean, no more than someone insisting your favourite colour isn’t actually your favourite colour is “colour dysphoria”. It’s not a matter of consistent distress. Dysphoria is classified as a disorder in the sense that it’s constantly distressing and causes significant dysfunction (which are part of the criteria for classifying behaviour as “abnormal” – I mean that in the scientific sense only). Someone trying to speak over you and tell you what you actually feel is frustrating and hurtful and in some cases feels like gaslighting. But it’s a normal response. It wouldn’t go in the DSM. Someone trying to tell you who you are is unpleasant, but it’s not relevant to you unless it’s brought up. Dysphoria is always going to be something you’re aware of because you literally can’t leave your body.
It’s not distressing because it’s dysphoric, it’s distressing because people are claiming to know you better than you know you. Just like if a straight person insists a queer person isn’t queer, the distress that comes from that isn’t what makes you queer, it’s what happens when you’re invalidated.
The way I see it:
Being trans involves a disconnect between your gender and what your biological sex/assigned at birth gender is. Dysphoria is emotional distress caused by that disconnect.
Some trans people experience dysphoria all the time. Some experience some of the time (but even in those non-dysphoric times, they are still trans). And some never experience dysphoria.
The disconnect doesn’t need to be distressing; it just needs to be present.
A trans person does not connect (at least not entirely) with their assigned at birth gender, but they do connect with another gender (or lack of gender in the case of agender people).
(Also, gender euphoria is a common thing that trans people experience but I think @antis-delete-your-blogs-pls-thx has that covered already).

Just trying to get a drink of water
Story idea: The most wanted woman in town has announced that she’ll only marry the one who can open her front door with the key around her cat’s neck. Many men try to hunt the cat down, chase and trap it, but to no avail, the cat is simply too quick, smart and clever, and always finds a way to evade and avoid them.
You are the first one to figure out the obvious: Do not chase the cat. The cat is befriendable. Get the cat to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the cat. You may eventually be allowed to touch the cat. The cat will freely let you take the key.
Secondary plot twist: The woman is a shapeshifter. She is the cat.
