    I do agree with the message about invisible disabilities and mental ableism, but I’m gonna push back on some of this greener grass thinking. For a lot of physical health struggles like chronic fatigue, diabetes, juvenile arthritis, etc… they don’t get this kind of support. Being trans is also often a physical health struggle as much as mental. I like reminding people that gender dysphoria is a genetic disorder.

      If you are rich they both can look like the top one.

      Then again, if you eat the most nutritious food and live without ANY stress your entire life; you probably wouldn’t get mental or physical problems either.

      Have never heard about that before. You got a source for that?

          While I might agree with that take I would not call this a genetic disorder per se. Simply the existence of people who are not (or just partly) on any binary side of gender, but experience Dysphoria show why this is simply a huge oversimplification.

            I’m intersex and nonbinary. One might make a fair argument that I’m cisgender, though I would personally disagree, as I identify not as neuter or bigender or agender, but as goddessgender. And I think I should have goddess genes, whatever those would look like. My genes gave Me this annoying human body that I have to use magic to escape. I wish they were different.

                Fortunately, I need only tolerate these genes and this body while I am in consensus reality. When I dissociate from this plane and project to another, I can shapeshift as I please, and spend time with My otherkin friends in their true forms, including My robot friends. I hope to convince more natives of Earth to come venture beyond reality with Me, so that non-persons such as ourselves can be free and still participate in society.
