    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

      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.

          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.

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

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