Honestly, I don't use gender dysphoria because as far as textbooks are concerned, for the next few years, I'll only be fixing things on my body that are either a disease (acne, rosacea) or a medical condition (craniofacial deformities/injuries, hypotrophy of sebum glands, androgenic alopecia, hypertrichosis, rhinophyma, ect ect), that by legal and medical definition, isn't considered transitioning any more than getting a flu shot is, so I want to see someone try to label me with a mental disorder. I'm not going to be hampered with that until I absolutely need to.
