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.
Stop it, the gender therapy waitlist isn’t getting any shorter!
Okay just crawl in my head and live rent free I guess
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”.
