Do you have gender dysphoria?

62 replies

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 08/02/2019 19:55

"Gender dysphoria, or gender identity disorder, is a diagnosis used to describe individuals who exhibit a strong desire to be of the other gender. Take this gender dysphoria test to determine if you have gender dysphoria symptoms that could lead to a diagnosis."

Well I took the test, answered all the (very obvious) questions to indicate that I do not have gender dysphoria and was told

Your answers suggest a mild to moderate indication that you are experiencing symptoms common among people with gender dysphoria Shock

Test is here: www.psycom.net/adult-gender-dysphoria-test/ You don't have the give them your email address to submit results.

I didn't say I wanted to be treated equally to men! I want us all to be treated better!

Italiangreyhound · 08/02/2019 20:26

I answered no to eceey single question. And I got "Mild to Moderate Indication of Gender Dysphoria"

Apparently I am strong likelihood of GD. I also answered truthfully that I am happy with my body and gender but do wish people would treat me equally to men. FFS.

If I'd done that quiz at 14 I would have answered that I was not happy with my body. I remember being confused and angry that over a few months my male friends had become stronger than me, faster than me and kept staring at my boobies. I hated periods. I hadn't worked out how to manage them properly yet. I was definitely jealous of boys' bodies.

This stuff is dangerous to girls. Especially tomboys.

Me too. Mild to moderate. And the only one I answered yes to was wishing that people treated me differently. But not because I have dysphoria, because I’m a woman and I’m paid less, treated like a sex object (when I was in my 20s) or like I’m invisible (now I’m a mum).
Also this:
Do you often feel that your feelings and reactions are more in line with how someone of the opposite gender would feel or act?

How would I know how anyone, male or female, would feel or react to a situation? It’s based on nothing other than someone’s imagination.

I have a strong indication of gender dysphoria apparently Hmm
I'm not a fan of online mental health quizzes in general but this one was particularly daft.

whathaveiforgottentoday · 08/02/2019 20:17

Oh my gosh, I got strong indication as I like tobe treated no differently to the opposite sex and sometimes think and act like the opposite sex (I have a few traits that are more stereotypically male like being untidy and not putting socks in the washing pile / liking sci fi etc - I only think this as on girly nights out when the other mums complain about their husband's bad habits, they seem to apply more to me than to my husband).
I must book my appointment asap !!!

Or, alternatively perhaps contact the website to tell them what a pile of poo that questionnaire is.

ScipioAfricanus · 08/02/2019 20:16

Mild to moderate for me even though the only thing I said was that I’d like to be treated like a man (not wolf whistled or ignored essentially). Everything else I answered as happy with ‘gender’ - I’m quite stereotypically female in my interests and behaviour and although I have always been uncomfortable with my body I don’t want to have a male one.

What a load of old nonsense.

Yambabe · 08/02/2019 20:10

Yep. I have a strong likelihood of GD apparently. Because although I am happy with my sex and sexual characteristics and experiencing no distress I'd prefer to be treated like a man (give me better pay and listen to me please, world!) and my interests are more aligned with mens. Idiots.

HawkeyeInConfusion · 08/02/2019 20:09

Apparently I have a strong indication Hmm

AngelaStorm73 · 08/02/2019 20:03

Oh FFS

Angry

From a woman in a woman's body who is happy with being a woman in her all her wantonly womanliness whatever the stupid quiz says

Rogueaccountant · 08/02/2019 20:03

I have day of the week dysphoria on Mondays.

HavelockVetinari · 08/02/2019 19:58

ShockShock me too! And I answered all questions indicating I'm totally happy with my sex/gender!
