#dysphoria nonessentialist

[tomboyfriends]

hello

Recently I’ve been making the rounds on disboard and learning a bunch of terms like transcomp/transcompassionate, transsoc/transsociologist as alternative terms to anti-transmed/tucute/etc. Here’s another I’m gonna drop on top of that!: Dysphoria Non-Essentialist (DNE for short): A person who believes dysphoria is not needed to be trans. Inversely its transmedicalist counterpart would be the following: Dysphoria Essentialist: A person who believes dysphoria is necessary to be trans. Neither of these are meant to be insults! Note: I left the discourse in 2015-2016 jsyk. I’m not coming back to it, I just like to make terms to hurt people’s heads and made a post after talking about it somewhere else. Btw I hope that for all of your sakes (on either side) that this argument is a dead or dying subject. Hopefully. I’m too lazy to check.
