Bubba Copeland shot himself in front of police on Friday, days after he begged 1819 News not to expose his private life.
Crossdressing and/or drag is you like to be outwardly a woman/other gender. Trans is you ARE a woman. Full stop. Your meat suit just happens to not agree with it, thus the term gender dysphoria.
Note: I do not speak for a trans people. Nothing is black and white. This is just how I understand it best and figured it got the point across.
FYI, I am looking to learn and not state anything as fact here. I am just going to explain my current understanding and if it is incorrect, please correct me.
I think gender dysphoria just describes any feelings of distress and anxiety caused by suppressing the feelings of actual gender identity. The disconnect between mind and body may not always be traumatic.
So, if a trans woman has fully embraced being a woman in all aspects of life with no second thoughts, gender dysphoria may not be an issue.
However, if a trans woman feels socially pressured to maintain the lifestyle of a man, that could be a source of stress, anxiety and initial confusion.
There are probably millions of nuanced scenerios that do, or, do not result in gender dysphoria. However, it has been my experience that most people who are anti-trans use gender dysphoria as a generalized blanket term. (Obviously, that doesnât mean that anyone who used the term is anti-trans, but just covering that base regardless.)
Trans is you ARE a woman.
You think you are.
You where born in the wrong body but the technology isnât there yet to change that fact. Thatâs why itâs still called Transgender. if you could just switch Cis bodies Iâm not sure anyone wouldnât try it out.
Iâm with famous cross dresser Barry Humphries in considering gender affirming surgery self mutilation, but at the end of the day itâs none of my or anyone elseâs fucking business what someone does with their own meat suit.
