    bdd is obsessing over every single minor detail in your appearance and inability to look at your appearance as a whole. even if it’s driven by dysphoria, it’s still bdd.

      read about neuroligical sex incongruence and neurological body maps. this is literally just untrue.

      if someone loses an arms in an accident, their distress over that makes sense even if they’re still considered attractive looking.

      same thing applies to not being a youngshit. passing isn’t all that matters. body congruence is more important.

        I know about all that, girl. Dysphoria is dysphoria. BDD is obsessing over minor features and that has already been said. It’s just in case of many trans people it stems from dysphoria too.

        >passing isn’t all that matters. body congruence is more important.

        also true.
