No, there is nothing to actually fix and its more like OCD obsession than gender dysphoria. They tend to over correct (e.g. the anorexia example or the muscle dysmorphia with injections) and don't see what has changed. Even when they try to "correct" with cosmetic surgery, it doesn't work and they sometimes go back and get more and it never fixes the "issue". You can see a lot of botched examples if you're curious, more than one surgeon is happy to do whatever with no qualms about ethics so long as the patient has the money. Some people with dysmorphia will pick at their skin and create these crazy intense open sores and they'll keep picking, this isn't something you fix with a surgery (well, debridement and packing is but fixing the picking isn't a surgery)
It's not a mindset that is likely to make sense because it is disordered thinking and, presumably, not something you have. I can kind of see it, I have OCD but mine is about checking.
That's a good distinction. Thank you.
Sometimes when my dysphoria is bad, I have a distorted view of myself, but taking steps to feminize does actually help.
