Explain """social dysphoria""" to me

i understand that you might have something wrong with your brain that makes you hate the effects of testosterone, and hormone treatment makes you feel better
but how is "wanting to be treated like a woman" and getting sad when people use the wrong words to refer to you, etc. an equally real thing, and not just an error in thinking that's a side effect of the former?

What you're saying is too hard to figure out. I don't know what your mean ?

this isn't going to work because you are not able to admit that misandry is real

i don't think there's a biological basis for wanting to change your birth certificate
are you saying that social transition isn't even meant to be a medical treatment for anything? i can't see how/why an estrogenized man would get treated worse than the average visible trans woman

I am repper. But, to me at least, social dysphoria is best explained by anecdote; seeing as it is a subjective experience.

One day, back in High School. I'm in gym class, aka phys ed. We are having free training. This means you have a choice. Do u go to the right side of the gym to lift weights? Or will u go too the left to do a cardio video?

Now I realize that I was being an idiot. But at the time I actually thought there was a choice. I just thought to myself, "Well I'm already really strong, I need to work on cardio."

I was really focused on the workout. For the first 15 mins. Then I look up, and all eyes in the gym are on me. The guys are talking about the fag over there between reps. The girls are unable to do their workouts because they are side eyeing me in fear. I am suddenly consumed by a feeling of overwhelming wrongness. I'm not like the guys on the inside, and not like the girls on the outside. I walk to the restroom and silently cry. That is the first panic attack I had in public. Still repping at 25.

In case it was unclear, I was the only "guy" not lifting, bro.

wow

that sucks
but would social transition really help with things like that? or would it make them worse?

>would being treated like a woman fix not being treated like a woman
this is the question you just asked

but would people actually treat you like a woman just because you changed your style and voice (and hormones i guess)?

Idk if you only wanted mtf opinions, but as an ftm there is a noticeable difference when hanging out with guys as a guy vs as a girl. I would call this social dysphoria. As a girl I felt uncomfortable hanging out with girls, because I could tell we just weren’t the same, and yet I was unable to hang out with the boys as ‘one of the boys’ because on a subconscious level they just couldn’t see me as one of them. This feeling of a certain type of social interaction being out of reach, and the uncomfortableness that comes with that is social dysphoria I think. This was remedied after my transition

interesting. i'm a pooner and was having a hard time explaining this from a perspective that wasn't a perceived insult (as in, I felt social dysphoria when someone told me I'm acting like a hysterical woman and that made me more upset than if they'd told me I was being a schizo freak or something neutral). but maybe for both genders it's worse when it's insult added to injury, so to speak

I am a repper. I don't know if it would help.
I don't think it would work for me in particular because I wouldn't pass. But for those that can pass, it should right? idk

>This was remedied after my transition
in what way? do you pass as a cis man, or are they able to see you as a guy now because you transitioned physically?

I transitioned physically, so that I pass and am seen as a man. I have a deeper voice and facial hair. Being seen as a guy, the difference is noticeable. I’m comfortable with how I’m treated and perceived in social situations now, I’m no longer on edge or feel like I’m in the wrong skin

I'm glad it wasn't way off. Was worried it wouldn't resonate cuz I'm a repper.

Yea I picked that one cuz no-one said anything to me, it was just being seen as other than I feel inside.

This is also accurate. When hanging out with girls as a "guy", they are always cagey. Ready to dodge any unwanted advance or male rage.
Trying to talk to guys as a "guy," and I feel like, well, a girl in a football locker room. I'm just obviously not one of them, like mentally.

It's a spook.

Social dysphoria is related to physical dysphoria
If you’re treated like a man, it means you’re a hon… meaning you dont pass, which reminds you of your physical dysphoria
You dont want other people thinking of you having male body parts because it feels wrong so you change your birth certificate and go stealth

Basically this

There's two kinds of social dysphoria.
1. trenders who just want attention
2. a coping mechanism for hondom, via seeking out hugboxers that you don't need to pass to be a "real woman" (or man/enby if you're an AFAB)

I'm on estrogen because of body dysphoria but have no social dysphoria, what even am I?
