small PSA: i’ve been doing a fair amount of dysphoria venting for the past few days, and will likely continue to do so intermittently from here on out. when i do this venting, i would like to make a few things clear:

when i am doing this venting, the last thing i want to hear is “wanna trade” or “i wish i had your (insert feminine body part here)”. those who have been doing that, you know who you are. i understand you mean well, and that you’re trying to empathize, and that’s very kind of...

you, but please stop doing so. being reminded that there are people who specifically want the body parts i despise when i’m going through a dysphoric episode makes me even more dysphoric at best, or guilty because i feel as if i’m wasting those body parts at worst.

so essentially: stop doing that. if i’m venting about my dysphoria, and you want to comment that, comment something else. if you can’t think of anything to comment besides “wanna trade” or “i wish i had those parts” don’t comment.

i understand some of you may like those jokes, but i don’t. so please refrain from making them to me when i’m dysphoriaposting in the future. thank you for your understanding.
