    I used to care about things like even my hair cut. I used to be extremely self conscious.

    That is nothing like dysphoria, and your equating of the two experience indicates a very significant lack of understanding of the trans experience.

    I’m trans, and I used to be self conscious about my hair, but it didn’t cause me pain or dysphoria. Then I transitioned, and after surgeries and hormones, my body finally felt the way it should, no more pain or dysphoria. Guess what though, I’m still self conscious about my hair, because it’s entirely unrelated to my experience as a trans person…

        Hey dude, this is a trans space. You should not barge in and start fighting trans people. That’s not nice be(e)havior. If you want to engage with people you don’t understand, you need to do so by treating them with good faith and listen to them.
