Social dysphoria: the collision between who we are, how we should be, how we need to express ourselves and live our lives, and the gendered straitjackets others would force us into. It is the misery, the wrongness, of being forced to live a lie. The pain of being called fakes for our authenticity. It is being turned invisible, which serves a dual role: not only is our disquieting presence removed, but the pain we experience as a result can be safely ignored.
