It speaks in the voice of everyone who ever said “what a…strange…little boy” to you growing up. You can hear it in the voice of all of the TERFs warning about “men in dresses”. Dysphoria is like having your own personal internal internet comments section, dedicated to calling your attention to everything about your body that feels alien, wrong, unwanted. It sees things that are invisible to other people. It whispers “you’ll never be anything more than what they said you were” and laughs.
