Dysphoria is not an identity.Because oppression olympics. Transsexualism is not ones sense of self, it is a side effect of the condition known as gender dysphoria that affects ones sense of self, perhaps, but the fact remains that it is a condition, and never, in the history of ever, has demedicalizing a serious medical condition ever helped anyone with that condition.ĭysphoria is a condition. It’s a medical and neurological condition. It may take time to come to accept out transness, but it isn’t an ever changing self-definition. It is a constant part of trans peoples lives. Identities change and grow over time, transsexualism doesn’t. By saying being trans is an “identity” you are admitting that its just a phase that will pass. Because identities are not something that is set in stone. One may identify themselves as a metalhead.

Identity is ones sense of self and social appearance.

Someone who identified with the “emo” label in middle school eventually grows up, and their identity changes. Identities are something that change with time as well. I didn’t used to associate with the personality I have now, but I do anyway, why? Because identity changes. Identities are, shortly put, personalities and the way one associates themselves to the rest of the world. Identies are formed based on social influence of your peers, your age, your location, literally anything in the world can influence your identity. YOU ARE LITERALLY FIGHTING FOR A WORSE SYSTEM. When do y’all start listening to us and stop this fight? Having it de-medicalized or recategorized fucking sucks.

This is just a few examples from a place who don’t categorize it as a mental disorder, It’s so fucking humiliating to be transgender in the Danish healthcare system don’t let that happen to you. In Denmark, we have a law that reassures that people only have to wait a certain amount of time before getting treated in our health care system, but guess what THAT LAW DOSENT FUCKING APPLY TO TRANS PEOPLE BECAUSE IT LEGALLY ISNT AN ILLNESS.

Apart from all this, it can take over a year to finally be granted testosterone. To get testosterone (legally, I know a few getting it illegally from friends in Germany) the doctors need to have a consultation with your parents even if you’re legally an adult, and their opinion on you being transgender can affect whether or not you’ll get a testosterone, you have to answers over 300 questions some even involving whether or not you think about your parents when you masturbate and other very personal and irrelevant information about how you masturbate, have sex, who you have sex with, how many people you have had sex with etc. Most transmen choose to leave the country to get top surgery because the alternative is to wait 5 or more years to be considered for the surgery here as a result of the government closing private facilities who offered it. Here are no such things as gender clinics, gender therapy, etc. Here in Denmark transsexualism has been removed from the list of mental disorders (nice job on that one Amnesty) and transgender individuals are having consultations about medically transitioning with doctors specializing in things like pedophilia or sexual disorders and let me tell you it does in no way, shape or form work.
