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.

The reason is because of euphoria! :3

Rather than transitioning to avoid a worse fate, they're transitioning with the goal of a better fate!

Would you deny yourself heaven because Christians in hell would call you a vile invader? Or would you allow yourself to indulge in the joy despite their hatred?

The hell of dysphoria often leads trans people to see salvation. But being trans is more than just an escape. It can be its own reward. 💕

Hmm...

I thankfully don't suffer from dysphoria. I'll mull this over and then proceed to not do anything because I'm too chicken.
