Yesterday I read this posted by @JackyHolyoake

It has completely cemented what I've been thinking about for a while, but not adequately able to describe: there are different types of 'gender dysphoria'. I used to say I thought there were, but wasn't quite sure how to divide them up or describe them properly.
And now I'm ANGRY.
I see ever so clearly now how autogynephilic (white, usually) males have appropriated the gender dysphoria of some children and subverted the 'caring' that gender stereotypical women are supposed to show as part of being a woman, to control responses to them. The reason that men are let off more is that their socially imposed gender identity does not require them to be caring.
It explains PERFECTLY why all these adult trans 'women' don't think they should have any surgery.
It also is a brilliant way of explaining to people why there are safeguarding risks - not all 'gender dysphoria' is a) that or b) the same.
It also explains PERFECTLY the difference between trans men and trans women.
I could go on, but really, I'm so angry that they are knowingly taking young children and policitcising them for their paraphilia's drives.
Women need to realise how debilitating it is to be required to care about and for others in order to keep their identity.
