>>38803908I'd frame it like this: dysphoria is a bitch. You're not only battling yourself, but the world who demands you present as one of two options. If you don't, you're an outcast. So you're shit on in everyday life, and the media isn't going to do jack shit unless they can wring a dollar out of your identity (see pride month). So when you have zero validation from other people, and none from existing media, you gotta create your own.
