Same. In many ways ignorance is bliss, but it is no substitute.

My experience with dysphoria has always been subtle and unspecific. It took a very long time for me to recognize it.
In adulthood, it was little more than a slight inclination towards depression. Whenever I would notice it, it was far easier to attribute it to immediate circumstances.
When I felt it in winter, surely its just seasonal depression. When I felt it in summer, its just because I hate summer. During covid I was miserable because I couldn't go anywhere, then afterwards I was miserable because I had to go places. This was all dysphoria, but nothing about it gave any indication it was about gender.
Also I had the emotional range of a thimble. (what is this metaphor?) I could feel empty, or angry, and little else.
I never liked how I looked in pictures avoided taking them, or appearing in them when possible. I guess I'm just ugly, that's the most reasonable explanation.
It took me a very long time to realize I was trans, and even longer to be ready to accept it. It wasn't until I started HRT and most of what I have described went away that I realized it was dysphoria.
I dislike the word dysphoria, because its such a strong word. For a long time I thought that my subtle and nonspecific feelings couldn't possibly be enough to be dysphoria.
To anyone out there reading this because you're uncertain if you're feeling dysphoria: When a disorder is named after its symptoms it's usually named at a very early stage of research, when researchers are only able to find the most obvious examples. This is why so many disorders have incredibly scary sounding names. Dysphoria can be that bad for some, but it can also be so subtle you don't even realize you're suffering.

Trump is against medicine.
Did a little reading on don bacon, the representative mentioned.
He represents nebraska's 2nd district, a district where the majority voted for biden and harris. He is known for being a moderate republican who is noted for working bipartisanly. He retained his seat by a narrow 50.9%:49.1% margain.
Basically he's one of the most likely republicans to support something like this. And if viewed purely cynically, with the slim margin of victory, he has an incentive to introduce bills to nowhere like this use for the upcoming 2026 reelection campaign.
Until this bill gets cosponsors or goes for a floor vote, it doesn't indicate a breaking of ranks. He's the kind of republican who often goes against the party line.
3% It dropped 3%.
Probably for the same reason they're against medicine

Gender dysphoria is not diagnosed by the symptoms. The determining factors are the desire for change, and the presence of some sort of distress or discomfort. The specifics of the discomfort that you experience are not part of it. If you want to change your gender, and have some amount of discomfort as a result, you have gender dysphoria. From reading your post, it sure sounds like it.
If you're interested, I have included the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria and transsexualism from the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5, and the World Health Organization's ICD-10 respectively. If you go to a doctor they will almost assuredly be using one of these documents to determine if you can be diagnosed for it. They both require some amount distress or discomfort but give no details on what that distress or discomfort feels like or how it manifests.
