Wow this brought back some unpleasant memories…
Okay so I really don’t like the indirect dysphoria argument because it often can feel like it’s being used to force someone into coming to a conclusion they don’t feel is right for them when they are forced to justify, in this case why they don’t want to be a girl. This happened to me multiple times when being egged by people before learning I was NB and it felt really fucking gross. Don’t try to force people who aren’t willing, it feels terrible.
Okay just crawl in my head and live rent free I guess
Stop it, the gender therapy waitlist isn’t getting any shorter!
Been a fan of Mae’s since the early 2000s, and this comic came after I’d started my transition, but it still absolutely blew me away.
It sure is a good thing I learned very quickly to directly oppose egg arguments made against me rather than try and justify why I don’t want to be a girl. Indirect Dysphoria arguments are awful, and you can’t get out of them with any kind of formal politeness, it’ll just be turned around against you and labeled as “indirect dysphoria”.
