This is the thing that blows my mind, their warped idea of what dysphoria is, and claiming to have it because of the warped definition they've learned online. They only have "social dysphoria"- which does have roots in gender dysphoria, because it makes you think "i'm not enough of a man/woman for anyone else, i'm not enough of a man/woman, oh god, help". But they don't see it like that, their idea of social dysphoria is "I don't pass well enough and get misgendered"- it doesn't reduce them to thinking their efforts are not enough because the world still sees them as the wrong gender, and then "oh god this body i was cursed with". Their idea of social dysphoria is not dysphoria at all. They just want to yell at people for misgendering them, and that's what social dysphoria is to them, instead of what it usually is, which is the very real, super awkward, and potentially sickness/gender dysphoria-inducing thoughts that happen when someone addresses you incorrectly through no fault of their own.
They think any other form of dysphoria (which isn't social) is hating yourself. They think you have to be upset 24/7 to have dysphoria. Dysphoria is not self hate. Sure, it sucks, but it's not hating yourself through and through. Life is still enjoyable. They decide that you don't need dysphoria, because you don't have to hate yourself, but that's not what dysphoria is. This in and of itself proves they don't know anything about being trans or dysphoria, especially if they're getting the definition incorrect (on purpose? i dunno), and then using that incorrect definition to claim you don't need dysphoria.
