Ah yes, because not wanting to look like an ogre means you have gender dysphoria or whatever the kids call it nowadays.

If you think "aroused by the idea of a female version of yourself" is typical... I have news for you

[-] Rolder@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago

I dunno, some men just want to be on bottom and that’s an easy way to visualize it.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Why would that mean they are trans?

HEY THIS GUY IS AN EGG

That's exactly the point: the text is textbook

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 year ago

No, but thinking that most men look like ogres (including oneself) coupled with the apparent fixation on gender and it's easy to see how people would come to that conclusion.

gender dysphoria or whatever the kids call it nowadays

You knew what 'egg' refers to in this context, but you're unsure if 'gender dysphoria' is appropriate terminology? That's simultaneously specifically knowledgeable and also totally clueless.

I dont think most men consider the way they look to be ogre-ish.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Not being happy with how you look doesn't mean you're trans lol

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

No but not being happy with how you look in that particular way reads kinda trans.

Do you feel like an ogre all the time? Starting around puberty?

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago
[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Well, either you do and can speak to the experience or you dont and can't speak on the experience.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Are you cis or trans?

[-] clearleaf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

When I was growing up I had massive self image problems and I was too ashamed to talk about it since it was considered a girl's problem. It's nice to see we've become more extreme on that. This is why feminism and trans people are at odds so often. Feminists want to remove the concept of gender roles from people's minds while trans people literally think gender roles are more innate to a person than their DNA. Even mental illness is a gender role now.

OP gets aroused by the idea of a female version of himself.

That's egg-talk.

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

I thought trans people were trying to distance themselves from the label of autogynephelia.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

No, we're saying the pathologization of the sexual component of gender is nonsense because everyone does it.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Thinking you look like an ogre because of the effects of testosterone on your body is a form of gender dysphoria.
