I can only imagine it as an “out of place” feeling that never goes away.

I don’t have gender dysphoria, at least not very strongly but I do have species dysphoria and I would say that that description is kind of accurate to how it feels.

Anyone who has to live like that deserves all the empathy I am capable of, and that’s why I think that chipping away at trans rights is utterly reprehensible.

I also think it’s absolutely evil how a lot of transphobes also put down people like me with species dysphoria and try to use us to make fun of other trans people. What’s worse is how this affects how other trans people treat me and people like me. I’ve had people attack me because they thought I was trying to be transphobic when talking about this stuff but I’m not, I’m describing how it feels to me.
