Gender dysphoria is a disease of our bipolar society.
If we believe that we are only given two options, male or female, then gender dysphoria would make sense.
When we understand that our authentic identity is consciousness conscious of itself as consciousness and not all the identities we’ve picked up along the way (whether in our childhood or inherited in our dna), then we are free to roam the endless opportunities of androgynous possibilities.
The illness is not in those who have gender dysphoria. The illness is the belief that we have to make a choice between pink or blue.
The illness is in our bipolar society.

The term “gender dysphoria” comes from the Greek word dysphoros, which means “hard to bear”. “Dysphoria” is also defined as a state of unease or dissatisfaction with life. The term “gender dysphoria” was coined by psychiatrist Norman M. Fisk in the 1970s. It describes the psychological condition of distress that results from a mismatch between a person’s gender identity and their assigned sex.
The diagnosis of gender dysphoria has been controversial since it was first introduced. Some critics argue that the diagnosis stigmatizes people who are simply expressing variation, and that it mistakenly categorizes a medical condition as a mental health disorder.
