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

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)

All social gender dysphoria orbits around one central concept: What Gender do people believe me to be? Social Dysphoria is about how the outside world perceives you, how others address you, and how you are expected to address them. This applies differently prior to the trans person becoming self-aware of their own gender, versus how Social Dysphoria is experienced after a trans awakening (cracking one's shell).

While still in the dark, the only awareness is that something seems off about the way you interact with your interactions with other people. People of your assigned gender seem to interact with each other in ways that do not feel natural to you. Their behaviors and mannerisms feel strange and surprising, where interactions with individuals of your true gender feel easier. You relate to people closer to your own truth.

This feeling of wrongness intensifies as the person becomes more and more aware of their own incongruence, and upon realizing who they really are it takes on a new shape. For binary trans people this often may be about the intense need to be seen as your true gender, be it male or female. Some non-binary people experience this more as euphoria at being seen as neither male or female and thus only being referred to in ungendered ways, or from being read as different genders by different people in the same setting. Some experience intense euphoria when people are incapable of reading their gender and become confused.
Social dysphoria is where pronouns and misgendering come into play; being addressed with a gendered pronoun such as she, he, him, or her which is not the pronoun that aligns with our gender is extremely discomforting. Granted, this is true for *all* people, including cisgender people, but where a cis person will be insulted by being misgendered, a trans person will feel hurt. It's like nails on a chalkboard, or steel wool across skin. Hearing the wrong pronoun is a reminder that the person you are talking to does not recognize you for the gender that you are.

Gender neutral pronouns can also be unsettling for binary trans people if used in a way that make it clear the person is avoiding the pronoun that matches them. This often is an indication that a person has been read as being transgender, and the person addressing them doesn't know what pronouns they use. Asking their pronouns can resolve this situation immediately, but the paradox is that even in that scenario, having their pronouns asked may itself induce dysphoria around having been recognized as being trans. It is sort of a catch-22.

Some physical traits which may cause discomfort all the time for some trans people may only manifest as a social dysphoria for others. For example, some people may only be self conscious about their physical appearance when it causes them to be misgendered or clocked (read as being trans), and feel completely comfortable when interacting in environments where they are always seen and treated as their true gender.
I, myself, have no direct physical dysphoria around my voice, I actually really enjoy singing in my natal baritone, and when I am home with just my family I let my voice relax. When out in public, however, being able to speak in a feminine voice plays a critical role in my being seen as a woman by strangers, so I put a lot of effort into training it into a feminine sound. My feminine voice turns on the instant I answer the phone or leave the house, it isn't even a conscious thing.

### "One of us!"
A very curious and surprisingly phenomenon is that closeted trans people have a tendency to find each other without ever knowing they've done it. There's a funny pattern that I have heard duplicated over and over where one person in a friend group realizes they are transgender, starts to transition, and that inspires other members of the group to also realize they are trans and come out as well.
