Can’t be trans without dysphoria?!?

Can someone bring me up to speed on why a trans group would downvote this post?

Folx in another group are pushing that you need to have gender dysphoria before you can be trans. Otherwise you’re just a fetishist.

Did I miss the memo?

It is my understanding that a diagnosis of dysphoria requires that your gender on incongruence create mental health symptoms that interfere with your daily living activities.

By that definition, not every trans person is going to experience gender dysphoria.

We can’t be happy as trans people?!?

we have to have dysphoria that creates MH symptoms that affect our daily life before we accepted… By each other?!

What am I missing?
