It is. It absolutely is hurting people suffering with this condition. Because when you say you’re trans but you don’t have dysphoria - you just “feel like a man because you like to wear suits”; you’re perpetuating the idea that transsexualism is just a reaction to gender roles. People need to know that what I have is a medical condition, not a choice. And you saying that anyone can “choose to be trans” means that the majority of people don’t understand that.

So I have to go stealth and be misunderstood by the majority of people.

On the behalf of dysphoric trans people, stop saying that you’re not hurting anyone.

You are.
