What does Dysphoria feel like (for you)?

I recognize my dysphoria as the feelings of numbness/nothingness I have over who I am. Like for most of the time, I feel a distance from my body like it's just kinda there rather then being me. Come to realize that there's words for this specific type of dysphoria Ie depersonalization and dissociation. I mean come to understand I do have the more traditional traits too, not liking my facial hair, body hair, face and body etc in general but most of the time it's just no feeling at all.

That's also why I believe people should focus on gender euphoria, because I think that every trans person does experience some dysphoria it's just can be extremely hard to recognize. The question that cracked my egg after doing research about trans topics was "do you think you would be happier as the opposite gender" and instinctively I knew the answer.

Wild Graham Linehan making the world's most childish response on a video with 377 scientific references.

He might of shifted the focus, idk. I mean it makes sense tbh the transphobes current day are different then the transphobes when he made the og video. A lot of them are more defensive and not willing to listen no matter what someone online says.

If I where him I would of changed the target the audience from transphobes to be trans allies and people who don't know much about trans people(but aren't transphobic). Cus those folks might be encouraged by this video into trying to deradicalize transphobes they know irl cus and the more accurate scientific information you know the better you can argue against bs. So it's less of a casual debunk video and more of a study guide people might want to re review multiple times till it fully sticks.

Also imo the only chance modern transphobes might change is if someone they personally know well and respect tells them they are harmful.

Petition for Canadian government to help US trans people seek asylum/refugee status.

Reply in thread

You would still have to go through the same long and hard process as any other asylum seeker. Idk where you get the idea that trans people would be prioritized all this petition is about is legally qualifying trans people as apart of the class of people that can seek asylum in Canada.

If you want an actual discussion is a statement like, "we shouldn't help asylum seekers because what's stopping an immigrant from exaggerating the conflict they face in their original homeland to try and seek asylum?" In good faith?

Version Control

The last one can easily describe Django. Feels like depending on the code base/your mistakes/people you work with can easily turn a normal project into a project where majority of the files is just migration files.
