Gender dysphoria

The simplest definition of dysphoria is: "Dysphoria or dysphoric mood is a mental state in which a person has a profound sense of unease or dissatisfaction." Regarding the longer phrase 'Gender dysphoria' the medical profession assumes that gender roles, gender conventions, gender customs, gender taboos, and gender expectations classed as "male" and "female" are given en utero with biological sex and thus any rejection of these "male" and "female" roles amounts to a "denial" of biology. Thus any person who is uncomfortable with "gender expectations and labels" is deemed to also deny the existence of their physical genitals, a proposition that can be fairly considered hyperbole by conservative medical establishment.

Accepting the simpler definition of dysphoria as a profound sense of unease or dissatisfaction with a given circumstance, it is arguable that acceptance of conferred gender roles (such as male chivalry and upholding of gynocentric principles) are 'blue pill' perspectives, and that people who experience dysphoria about these conferred gender roles may in fact be red pilled. It can be argued that the medical profession need to redefine gender dysphoria as the belief that one's humanity, in all its wholeness and range, is NOT an en utero mandate, is not one and the same thing as genitals, and thus gender dysphoria can be considered a reasonable position for psychologically healthy individuals.

The word "gender identity" captures a myriad of phenomena deemed male, or female. Some of these things are biological facts, others are malleable and socially conferred gender behaviours. This indicates that there may be two kinds of dysphoria: 1. a profound sense of unease with physiological sex identity (a psychiatric disorder), or 2. profound sense of unease with socially conferred gender identity (not a disorder). At present both of these possibilities are represented under the label gender dysphoria, whereas it may be clearer to refer to 1. as "biological sex dysphoria," and 2. as "conferred gender behaviour dysphoria." At present this differentiation is being avoided, possibly due to political reasons of maintaining social roles and any associated privileges.
