    Going through HRT has you go through puberty again. It’s not just trans fems, anyone taking hormones is going to experience this. You live your whole life experiencing one balance of hormones, then suddenly you have raging hormones again.

    40% of this mod team is trans. This is an in-joke, if you don’t get it, it’s not for you.

    Mental illness is a social construct. Even medical issues are social constructs. “Wandering uterus” used to be a medical condition in which doctors stimulated women to orgasm to “cure” them.

    Every culture is going to frame things differently, but the importance is how that framing is used or held against certain people. The idea that “gender dysphoria” is a mental illness is linked to the idea that conservatives think mental illness is just weakness. They don’t believe that depression or anxiety are real, exhausting problems.
