      Alternatively: gender and sex could be synonyms, and trans people experience dysphoria because of a mismatch between physical gender/sex and their self-perceived gender/sex, through a mechanism not all that different from other kinds of dysphoria.

      BTW, I am physically male, but don’t perceive or think of myself as of any sex or gender (I think the word is “genderless”), so might as well say I have the “gender” of an inanimate object.

      Xenogenders aren’t a joke. While the attack helicopter copypasta is a joke designed by reactionaries to mock the concept of xenogenders, what they are mocking is a real identity held by real people. I don’t know any helicopters, but I’ve met dragons, elves, and gods. Xenogenders are valid identities.
