Personally, for me it’s the idea that just because you don’t experience something (dysphoria, or being a gender other than what society expects of you) that doesn’t mean those experiences aren’t valid.

I get sooo tired of the response “I just don’t understand! I love being my AGAB! Why can’t you just get over it?”

    Hell, a lot of trans people have internalized transphobia we have to work through to better accept ourselves. I know I do and it’s important to continue to improve that.
