Gender Dysphoria isn’t something you can just turn off and on, it’s a feeling that happens naturally and rarely within our control.
It isn’t an automatic and excessive self-loathing, but it causes it.
Imagine you getting dressed for a formal event, and you’re unable to find something you’re comfortable wearing. Imagine that feeling again, but this time it being your body. This discomfort can cause feelings of distaste and dislike with one’s own skin, but it isn’t self hatred.
Please stop telling trans people they ‘just hate their body’. It’s so much more complicated than that.
