Isn’t brain sex contested? I mean I’m NonBinary so that already puts me in a weird spot, but also I do indeed have dysphoria related to physical characteristics that don’t have to do with gender like my ears and my tail, or rather lack of them. I actually get phantom sensations and pain, and it can be pretty upsetting and also pretty severe. Tail pain can be excruciating, but there’s nothing physiologically wrong with me (that doctors can tell) that would cause these sensations, nor would explain why I have so much discomfort around the lack of these very non-human traits.
I don’t think Non-Binary is a weird spot or anything. To my knowledge the whole brain structure thingy is on a spectrum anyway (I mean, makes most sense, doesn’t it? Any sex trait can be somewhere inbetween), and then there’s how every individual interprets what their mind and their environment tells them. The whole societal gender idea sucks anyway.
Phantom pains are just awful… for the brain emotional and physical pain is the same anyway, it gets treated the very same way. Extreme pain about it will eventually get experienced in the way it makes most sense to you, so if you feel there should be something and you’re in constant pain it’s missing eventually your brain will elevate the pain into your conscious the way it makes most sense to you. 😟
Sorry if this sounds cold to anyone, it’s just my way to make heads or tails of it.

My humour is awful too.
