A place to post memes relating to the transgender experience.
Rules
- Follow lemmy.blahaj.zone community guidelines.
- Posts must be trans related.
- No bigotry.
- Do not post or link to pornography.
- If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
- Posts that assume the viewer’s gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:
[CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc][CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem][CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary][CW: Transphobia][CW: Violence][CW: Weapons/Firearms][CW: Disturbing Imagery]
- Mods can be arbitrary.
Because it apparently has to be said, this community is supportive of all forms of DIY HRT.
Recommendations
- Include other tags in posts for example:
[Transfem/Transmasc/Non-binary]
- Include image description when possible.
- Link to source

Medical terms will usually be negative. That's the perspective you come from on the treatment side. Identify and name a thing that is wrong in order to drive effective treatment. Hence the very negative term used by the DSM.
As far as the lived experience, euphoria can be easier to identify for some. If you're a trans adult who is unaware, the feeling of dysphoria is normal. Its the baseline. It can be very difficult to notice when your baseline is wrong because its what defines your perspective.
Since starting HRT I've learned many things were dysphoria that I assumed were just normal.
