If gender dysphoria disappeared instantly, would being trans still matter to you?
This is something I got curious about recently. Hypothetically, imagine there was a button that could instantly remove gender dysphoria completely. No discomfort, no distress, no mismatch feelings anymore.
Would you still want to transition, identify as trans, change your presentation/body/name/pronouns, etc.? Or would the absence of dysphoria completely change how you see yourself?
I'm curious because I see people describe being trans as relief from pain, while others describe it more as moving toward joy, authenticity, or gender euphoria.
Interested in hearing different perspectives.
