That’s a good point. Although Abigail Thorn (Philosophy Tube) kinda turned it on its head, apologies in advance for probably fucking up my explanation. 😅

If (e.g.) a cis woman has dark arm hair, peach fuzz, a “strong jaw”, etc, and is really bothered by it because it makes her feel less feminine or “man ish”… isn’t she basically experiencing gender dysphoria? And if she gets laser hair removal or whatever, isn’t that actually a type of “gender-affirming care”?

It made me wonder if that’s somehow the key to making people feel more empathetic, idk.
