Ah yes, because not wanting to look like an ogre means you have gender dysphoria or whatever the kids call it nowadays.
If you think "aroused by the idea of a female version of yourself" is typical... I have news for you
I dunno, some men just want to be on bottom and that’s an easy way to visualize it.
Why would that mean they are trans?
Way to avoid my point.
You might also be an egg
*falls down on a bike*
HEY THIS GUY IS AN EGG
That's exactly the point: the text is textbook
No, but thinking that most men look like ogres (including oneself) coupled with the apparent fixation on gender and it's easy to see how people would come to that conclusion.
You knew what 'egg' refers to in this context, but you're unsure if 'gender dysphoria' is appropriate terminology? That's simultaneously specifically knowledgeable and also totally clueless.
I dont think most men consider the way they look to be ogre-ish.
Not being happy with how you look doesn't mean you're trans lol
No but not being happy with how you look in that particular way reads kinda trans.
Can't say I agree
Do you feel like an ogre all the time? Starting around puberty?
I'm not OP
Well, either you do and can speak to the experience or you dont and can't speak on the experience.
Are you cis or trans?
OP gets aroused by the idea of a female version of himself.
That's egg-talk.
I thought trans people were trying to distance themselves from the label of autogynephelia.
No, we're saying the pathologization of the sexual component of gender is nonsense because everyone does it.
Thinking you look like an ogre because of the effects of testosterone on your body is a form of gender dysphoria.
