Do you shave regularly? That might be a symptom of gender dysphoria
AMAB people who shave might be just repressed transwomen!
Listen here, AMAB person! Do you shave your beard every day or at least every other day?
Have you asked yourself why you do that? Maybe it is because your job requires it? But, are you sure about that? Have you asked your boss if beards are allowed? Maybe they are; why would you not check it out?
Imagine if you believed that your job required you to wear clothing for women, such as a skirt and heels; if you are a real man, the first thing you would do is to check if that requirement is true, and the second thing would be to quit the job if that was a requirement as no real men would subject his manhood to the emasculation of wearing clothes of another gender! As noted by the great Harry Benjamin, one of the people who helped the trans people to achieve the rights that they always needed to live as their true selves (such as unlimited free cosmetic surgeries paid by the taxpayer), no real man without traces of female gender identity would subject himself to such emasculating act as wearing female clothes.
Now consider the beard: the beard is the most obvious marker of male identity: it is what truly differentiates men’s faces from women’s. For example, pretty much no man that was mistaken as female at birth ever shaved of their beard! Why would they do so? They are men, and nothing is more basic to a male identity than the marker of his sex in his face, which is his beard. So why would men emasculate their faces on a daily basis by cutting off the product of their testosterone every day? Maybe these “men” are just women or nonbinary people who have been incorrectly assigned male at birth?
In fact, let us check the official definition of gender dysphoria!
Gender Dysphoria is a mental health condition in which an individual experiences distress due to the presence of at least two of the following symptoms:
Disparity between sex and gender identity. Biological sex and gender are two different constructs. People with Gender Dysphoria might feel at odds with their biological sex and their perceived gender or may feel primarily at odds with their perceived gender and identify as a gender without a specific assigned biological sex.
A strong urge or desire to “get rid of” biological sex characteristics. In this symptom, people with Gender Dysphoria may continually struggle to see their bodies and experience the difficulties associated with dressing for sex they do not feel is theirs. Feelings of repulsion, fear, or shame often accompany this symptom.
A strong urge or desire to possess the biological sex characteristics of the opposite sex. For some, Gender Dysphoria will catalyze a desire to possess the sex characteristics of the opposite sex. For instance, a biological female might not feel entirely at odds with the presence of breasts but may feel a continual longing to possess one or more of the sex organs associated with the male sex.
A need or desire to be seen as treated as a specific preferred gender. Again, because sex and gender are two different things, some people with Gender Dysphoria will focus more on their gender than their sex.
An ongoing suspicion that you behave as though you are already your preferred gender, despite sex characteristics. For some people with Gender Dysphoria, the experience of being at odds with perceived gender is due to feeling as though their behavior, likes, and thought processes are already congruent with their preferred gender.
It is important to note that not all of these symptoms will be present in someone with a diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria; instead, at least two of them must be present for six months or longer and cause significant distress for a diagnosis to be considered.
If you are AMAB, but you shave regularly, you are emasculating your face off, by far, the biggest marker of your supposed gender, and you are temporarily transforming your face’s skin into the skin often associated with the female gender. Since almost no jobs require shaving your beard (and you can quit the jobs that do require it), you are shaving voluntarily. Maybe you actually like feeling the smooth skin of your face after shaving. But, think, why would you like that? Nothing defines an individual’s identity more than your face, so why do you like to make your face look female on a regular basis?
Thus shaving regularly is a voluntary activity, and by the DSM-5, this alone consists of two symptoms of gender dysphoria: getting rid of the masculinity of your face and acquiring the smooth skin of the feminine face. Two symptoms are enough to be officially diagnosed with gender dysphoria! Therefore, by the DSM-5, all AMAB people that do not allow their beards to grow naturally are women (or nonbinary, of course, nonbinary people exist and are valid) who were misclassified as men when they were born.
Think about it: it should be easy to see that beards are indeed essential for male people to express themselves as real men, as truly patriarchal societies such as Afghanistan make it illegal for men to work for the government if they are shaved! So why would you think you are a man if you shave?
Also, take a deep look at yourself: have you ever felt that you are more sensitive than other men? For example, have you cried as an adult for some reason other than watching your football team lose the championship? Real adult men only cry in these situations.
Have you ever had sex with a partner that is not a cis woman? That might be because you are not a man, and your real subconscious gender is trying to express itself. Real men only have sex with women! If you want to have sex with men, why do you think of yourself as a man, or do you really? Think about it!
But, if all your sex partners were cis women, did you think that is because you are a heterosexual man? Or maybe that is because your female gender identity tries to express itself vicariously by having sex with other women? Think about it: do you think hot women are beautiful, right? That might be a symptom of envy!
The clock is ticking: each year you do not transition is another year of your real self that you lost, and you subject yourself to the toxic effects of testosterone. You should understand that testosterone is good only for real men: the effects of testosterone on AMAB people who are not men often cause serious issues such as a higher risk of suicide or euphoria boners from wearing the clothes of your true gender! In addition, not suppressing this toxin before the age of 12 masculinizes you more with each passing year, making you less likely to pass as your true self! You should stop it now before it is too late and you have killed yourself by denying yourself to live as your real gender!
Bite the bullet, deconstruct your internalized transphobia to admit to yourself that you never were a man and are instead trans. Stop repressing and take your pills, Alice!
