*shrug* Enh, I had physical dysphoria, so am very glad I was able to attain the body mods I needed, but I wouldn't call it my brain being "male" aligned. I identify very strongly male, but hormones were one of those things I could take or leave.

And I know a good few trans people who either don't want to transition at all, for various reasons, or transitioned for very different reasons than their brain wanting a different body. (Mainly: social dysphoria, rather than physical.)

Obviously, I'm an anecdote, not data, but I've always been kind of suspicious of people trying to claim that being trans is a matter of neurology, because it seems to mostly get used to tell trans people they can't really be trans. And I'd be interested in seeing these studies.

i just want to say thank you for sharing so openly about your own experiences I feel like I learned from reading what you had to say and that doesnt often happen here in f!s lol. I'm glad you can be so open about it and thus people like me can learn something new.

Glad to be useful. But yeah, people experience being trans in a lot of different ways. It's a complicated subject that often gets watered down.

A lot of the "being trans is a physical condition" things I've seen were from Harry Benjamin Syndrome folks, and folks of their ilk who mostly were trying to differentiate themselves from other trans people... usually by squashing them down. By their logic, I wouldn't be trans, even though I fit the DSM-V criteria. *shrugs*

Is it fair for you to get body mods if the others might not want them? Or did everybody want them?

[lb_lee]

We have a form of system governance that means whenever a major decision is made, we all have to unanimously agree to it. Getting the body mods was a matter of at least a year of hard system debate. It's not as though Rogan just declared, "I'm going to have surgery today!" and we went, "Righto then."
