One of the things that is hard to understand about #Genderdysphoria and that might give a lot of people self-doubts is a seeming lack of #BottomDysphoria.
I can for example look down in the shower without feeling like I have to throw up.
The important part to understand here is that this doesn’t mean that you don’t have bottom-dysphoria: I have no emotional attachment to these parts beyond them being my reproductive system. I find the prospect of an #orchiectomy intimidating, but only because it will mean the irreversible end to my ability to have biological children (beyond what is already frozen in the local hospital).
I don’t really care about anything else there: If I have to choose between the things I currently have between my legs and the ability to visit an #Onsen again, it’s an easy choice for the later.
#Cis people don’t think about it like that. This is a form of gender-dysphoria, even if it doesn’t cause acute mental pain!
