Mostly a question for Transgenders

Everyone can answer but keep it respectful , Do you find full transitions to be based on Social Contagion or is it mostly Gender Dysphoria .

Mostly gender dysphoria. I never want to be a girl but I am.

But, I choose not to change myself.

Social contagion. I've seen the horrible way the LGBT has treated people who arent members. It's sort of like feminism. A positive movement that's being ruined by the extremists of it. There's a very real pressure there to be "woke".

i follow a few transgendered YouTuber’s, and the term i hear most from your paragraph is dysphoria.
I don't think it's either.

What is social contagion?

@Braziliannut I have no idea. But I also don't really understand how the concept relates to transgenderism still. Thanks for clarifying.

@DDonde Are trans people transitioning to fit in society definition of gender or are they doing it because they feel like their body is not their own .

@Braziliannut Ah.
I wager most would transition because of dysphoria. It's very expensive and hard on the body. I don't see why anyone would unless it was they felt it was the absolute best way forward. Or were otherwise convinced into thinking so.
I've talked with a number of trans people online, and I've seen a variety of reasons why someone might desire to transition, but to actually take the plunge requires some degree of desperation I feel. Although I did talk with one person who was very nonchalant about the whole thing.
