Being trans is not being defective because it indicates unhealthy hardware, like a keyboard with swapped keycaps/wrong layout, not broken/defective hardware. The keyboard is wrong, but you learn how to deal with it, but everyone insists on telling you it's wrong. And so you want to make it right. And that's dysphoria. And if ppl didn't, you wouldn't feel dysphoria, but you'd still know it's wrong, and getting it fixed would make you feel euphoria. Trans ppl who don't experience dysphoria are those with f1 and f2 swapped - it's minor and not very important. But fixing it still triggers euphoria. Boost to make a dysphoria-less trans person happy. #trans

B: let's make mastodon much nicer than twitter instead and maybe realize that it doesn't need to have millions of users to be "successful"
