some of them go beyond just believing in dysphoria. they get to "you need to have all-over body dysphoria all the time especially your genitals, you need to want to have surgery really badly if you're ambivalent or can live without it you're not trans, nonbinary people never have dysphoria and thus don't exist, etc"
oh yeah that def happens and thats how this all started in the first place, was flinging the label at people as an insult for not being in a specific tumblr hivemind
but this post was addressing specifically the people who self-identify with the term and center their blog-politics around and make a totally different hivemind in the process, it you know?
