Truscums try to validate their dysphoria through invalidating others

You are essentially just trying to gaslight people who say they don’t feel dysphoria by saying “well actually you don’t understand what dysphoria is and I know better that you actually do feel dysphoria. How patronizing is that??

I am not??? I don't care what terms people use. It does not mean definitions don't exist whether someone understands the definition or not?

“you do not need to be aware what is causing something to be experiencing it” do you understand how infantilizing this is? You’re essentially telling people that they are feeling something they say, explicitly, that they’re not and hiding behind “ohhh well we all use labels to fit our language”. Like cmon you must understand how mean that is to everyone.

This isn't my intent and is very much stretching what I was trying to convey. No one has to use anyones specific labels, I even said that several times. But words in fact do have definitions and clinical definitions and how they work???

Dysphoria can be experienced in a thousand ways but it is not the only way a trans person can exist. You say you hate truscum but here you are, trying to gatekeep the emotions trans people feel.

I see you really aren't reading what I was typing or asking me to expand, i'm sorry you feel that way and I think you really think i'm saying something i'm not. No one needs to use any labels they don't want, but if they fit a definition they fit a definition. It's a super broad term, i'm sorry this is such a big deal to some; nor does it invalidate any emotions. Respect and validation are about not insisting or caring about specific terms when someone wants you to use or not use them. When discussing in general what those terms mean and how they apply it's not disrespectful to have an honest conversation about them; and furthermore I do love how you say i'm being disrespectful for giving my opinion while you decided to come in being overly aggressive saying my opinion(Based on MY LIFE LONG STRUGGLE OF ACCEPTING I'M TRANS AND DISCUSSING WITH MY PSYCHOLOGIST WHAT THOSE TERMS MEAN AND MY BIGGEST STRUGGLE WAS "NOT EXPERIENCING DYSPHORIA"(It was mostly due to me not experiencing genital dysphoria though I do now...)) is completely wrong while you completely dismiss what i'm saying.

The terms are so broad they are almost meaningless. So what?
