The entire point of being trans is wanting to change from something that you were forced upon or given at birth into someone that better reflects who you are as a person. Why would someone want to change or feel the need to be something different if there isn’t some form of incongruence with your given identity? I don’t understand the idea that you don’t need dysphoria to be trans. I feel this idea draws more hate to trans people as it makes it seem like it’s a choice. I have never had a choice in who I wanted to be and who I truly am and putting out there that anyone can just choose to be trans makes it seem like anyone can choose the opposite. I can’t choose to not be trans. I can’t change. Dysphoria doesn’t have to be some huge hatred of all your body parts or some huge stress or anxiety in your life, but there has to be some reason beyond “I chose to be trans” for the entire label to mean something. If you are happier under the trans label there had to have been some reason that you weren’t as happy not being under it. You don’t have to medically transition but by making it seem like it’s a choice could lead to insurance electing that hrt or other surgeries are optional. Why spend all this money on healthcare when all these trans people can just choose not to be trans? Dysphoria can easily fit a lot of situations big or small but there has to be some issue that transitioning fixes.
