A whole bunch of proofreading (#113)

Is it possible to make this link to the section?

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

> ***[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)

# Sexual Dysphoria
Closely related to Societal Dysphoria is dysphoria centered around sexuality, sexual relationships, and the act of having sex. [Heteronormative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteronormativity) gender roles come loaded with the expectation that [AMABs will top and AFABs will bottom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top,_bottom_and_versatile). These dynamics get reinforced by our popular media, by toxic masculinity, and especially by our pornography, even in *transgender* pornography (the bulk of trans/cis pornography involves the trans woman topping). Deviations from these roles often result in shame, both from partners and from peers.

Of course, this is not an absolute, by any means, and many heterosexual cis couples do find ways out of these molds, finding a new dynamic in their relationship, or engaging in kinks to satisfy desires. Some couples find they aren't sexually compatible at all and seek other partners. However, there are many many external pressures discouraging this kind of self-awareness and discovery, and breaking away from those demands can be extremely difficult, even traumatic. This is particularly true when there is a background of conservatism or religious virtuism.

Cisgender gay relationships shirk this by virtue of necessity, opening the doors for individuals to explore what role leaves them more fulfilled. Some gay couples have an established dominant/submissive dynamic, and they enter into the relationship with that already understood. Others resolve it by switching up which partner is dominant. Yet, gay relationships can still get caught up in these kinds of expectations in regards to [butch/femme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_and_femme), [bear](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_(gay_culture)), and [twink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twink_(gay_slang)) dynamics.

This can lead to one feeling less enthusiastic or even disinterested in sex, as half of what makes up sex drive is the mental context of the situation. Many trans people never even experience sex until adulthood, functionally operating as sex-averse due to how severely their dysphoria has shut down all sex drive. They may still perform for the sake of their partners, but not get as much enjoyment as they could, and even end up disconnecting from reality around them in order to accomplish the task.
This dysphoria may be so significant that they find themselves taking a sexual identity that they don't actually connect with. It is not unheard of for a trans person to realize after coming out that they never actually felt a connection to the sexual orientation that they had identified with previously, but were rather using it as a way to feel less dysphoric in their sex lives.

Some trans women, for example, identified as gay men pre-transition out of a desire to have a partner that treats them like women during sex, but find themselves to actually be lesbians once that demand is lifted. Others may attempt to live as gay men, but find that the role doesn't fulfill them because they know their partners see them as men.

I could not stand to be associated with that male gaze. Even around the most beautiful women, I would avoid even looking at them, because I did not want to be seen as the kind of person that stares at women. I did not want to be seen as a predator.
This is the coercive male gaze: [compulsory heterosexuality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_heterosexuality) placed upon closeted trans women due to heteronormative ideologies. A cognitive dissonance that causes intense guilt and shame surrounding appreciation of ones peers and gendered interests.

Once you remove this male framework – once one is able to perceive themselves as female and accept these interests and observations are valid – that shame and guilt completely evaporates. Even when the interest is sapphic in nature and genuinely includes sexual desire, it is no longer tainted with this layer of objectification. I am able to appreciate the femininity and the beauty of my female peers without judgments, I can compliment them without fearing being perceived as a creep, or having my intentions misinterpreted.

It was a dysphoria I could not possibly have put into words until after it had finally been relieved. I was even more relieved as I began to integrate into queer women's spaces and came to realize that _women are exactly as thirsty as men are_, we're just (usually) much more respectful about it. It was a release of guilt that I didn't even know I was carrying.
