A whole bunch of proofreading (#113)
* intro proofreeding pass * what is gender proofreading pass > (more about that in the Causes of Gender Dysphoria section) Is it possible to make this link to the section? * history of gender dysphoria proofreading pass * disclaimer proofreading pass * gender euphoria proofreading pass Would it be worth linking to [the Wikipedia article for Plato's cave allegory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave)? * physical dysphoria proofreading pass * biochemical dysphoria proofreading pass * social dysphoria proofreading pass I'm assuming the forgotten adjective in "surprisingly phenomenon" was something like "common", so please correct it if it's wrong * societal dysphoria proofreading pass > [...] (beyond the discomfort that women experience, as this includes genuine attention, not just unwanted attention). Recommend rewording this, as it seems to imply that the discomfort women experience is what includes genuine attention rather than the discomfort AFAB trans people experience * sexual dysphoria proofreading pass * presentational dysphoria proofreading pass * existential dysphoria proofreading pass > Sometimes existential dysphoria can manifest existentially strongly recommend rewording for redundancy reasons * managed dysphoria proofreading pass * impostor syndrome proofreading pass > ***[YES, YOU ARE TRANS ENOUGH](https://www.amazon.com/Yes-You-Are-Trans-Enough/dp/1785923153/)*** do we really have to support Jeff Bezos? * Update am-i-trans.md "it’s nearly impossible avoid listening to oneself over others." has been reworded as "it’s nearly impossible to avoid listening to others over oneself." as the former seems contradictory to the rest of the paragraph, but I may be missing something, so please correct me if it's wrong I also suggest rewording "I thought being dysphoric all the time was normal human behavior" so as to not imply that dysphoria is a behavior and therefore a choice Also could use confirmation that "If you want to be a girl and you’ve always thought of yourself as a guy, then you will probably be happier living as a girl." is worded correctly * Clinical Diagnoses proofreading pass Some of these changes are to bring the wording somewhat closer to the text of the DSM-5 without making it too binary-centric * missed one * Treating Gender Dysphoria proofreading pass "A newly developing area of bottom surgery is in AMAB non-binary operations which attempt to perform vaginoplasty *without* the removal of the penis. This particular surgery is extremely experimental and has been performed less than a dozen times in the United States, but the outlook for the future is good." Highly recommend a source on this (admittedly mostly because it interests me personally and I couldn't find anything about it when I looked it up) * Causes of Gender Dysphoria proofreading pass *

Before I can talk about discomfort, I have to talk about relief. Gender Euphoria is itself a sign of Gender Dysphoria. You might be asking yourself, "how can happiness be sadness?" The answer to that is simple.

Imagine a person who was born in a cave, who spent their entire life living underground, their only source of illumination being candles and oil lamps. Imagine they've never been above ground, they don't even know the surface exists. Then one day a cave-in happens in a side tunnel, and reveals an opening to the surface. Sunlight pours into the opening, and at first it is blinding and the person runs away in fear. Later they return to the opening, and as the person's eyes adjust they look out through the hole and see a bright and brilliant world full of colors they didn't even know existed.

Imagine a person who was born in a cave, who spent their entire life living underground, with their only source of illumination being candles and oil lamps. Imagine they've never been above ground; they don't even know the surface exists. Then, one day, a cave-in happens in a side tunnel, and reveals an opening to the surface. Sunlight pours into the opening, and at first it is blinding and the person runs away in fear. Later, they return to the opening, and, as the person's eyes adjust, they look out through the hole and see a bright and brilliant world full of colors they didn't even know existed.

That world is scary, it's huge and full of unknowns, so they crawl back into the cave for safety, but that hole is still there, and they see the light every time they pass it. Gradually they peek out more and more frequently, and further and further from the opening. They start to want that light, they find reasons to visit it more often.

Eventually they realize that they don't want to go back into the hole any more. They have to go back, because that is where their family and friends are, but this place is so much better, they want to stay here. Going back into the hole feels wrong, it starts to hurt to be in the dark so much.

This is what Gender Euphoria is like, it is brief flashes of a light that may be too bright to handle at first, too confusing to understand, but as time goes on you become more accustomed to them and you realize that this is where you belong, and the darkness becomes the dysphoria.

Even just being out in the world as yourself and being seen as yourself can be massively euphoric.

**What euphoria is NOT** is a sexual high, turn on, or fetish. Sometimes euphoria can trigger a sexual response, and there are many factors at play that cause that (feeling good about your body is a turn on, for example), but it is not a source of sexual excitement. Trans people are not "getting off" on presenting or acting like their true selves.

That said, many people who have not yet realized they are trans may resort to fetishes and kinks to express their gender and/or relieve their dysphoria. They may maintain some of these kinks through transition. There is no shame in this, how they find sexual fulfillment is their own business. However, these things are *alongside* their gender. A trans person's sense of gender persists indefinitely, it does not go away when they go back to their daily lives.
