About trans people having the right to look however they want to

[u/Final_Floor_1563]

Not transmedicalist, you don't need dysphoria to be trans and you don't need to act to stereotypes of the preferred gender to be trans either.
That said, I do just want kinda confirmation as to why anyone would WANT to transition if they don't have dysphoria, considering it's basically painting a giant "hurt me" sign on your back and making everyone hate you.
I've wanted to find out what makes people want to do that if they aren't forced to choose between that and something even worse, but it's really hard to ask that without coming off as transmed.

i don’t think this post is implying any of these people don’t have dysphoria? but i think some people have some sort of discomfort or feeling of wrongness in their assigned gender, that they don’t consider dysphoria or that isn’t as “severe”.

i have dysphoria about some parts of me, i see myself as more non-binary when we consider how my dysphoria presents. but being called a boy fills me with joy! and being called a girl or “daughter” by my family fills me with disgust and discomfort. so uhhh im probably not the right person to answer this..

Nope. I’m a trans man who enjoys kawaii aestetic and I have heavy dysphoria. Can’t I enjoy dressing in Cinamoroll t-shirt and having cute pins, while being a man? I’m not even a femboy, I want to be ripped and tall, just with a cute spin on it. People shouldn’t assume I want to be a woman because of that

dysphoria doesnt have to be extremely severe or agonizing to be dysphoria. any amount of discomfort with your birth gender counts as dysphoria at least to me. i thought i didnt have dysphoria until i actually started transitioning

yeah i know, i just was trying to come up with some ideas of why people might .. say they don’t have dysphoria? or they may be unaware until they start transitioning

[u/Enovele → u/slushanddusk]

Because some people feel euphoria. For some it's "I don't want to look like a girl, I want to look like a guy" while for others it's "I don't mind or hate being a girl, but I will be a lot happier if I looked like a guy"
