I really appreciate this essay, thanks for writing it. Do you have any additional resources to read that talk about dysphoria being a "trauma response of being forced into an incorrect gender"? Web searching those terms just turns up a lot of anti-trans articles about dysphoria being caused by childhood trauma.
