Scenarios

I always come back to how childhood dysphoria is formed and how it differs (if at all) from gender variant people who begin to cross gender express at or after puberty. If early dysphoria can take on sexual overtones by puberty how does this differ from what non dysphoric gender variant people experience? We know that many of the latter have never given transition a moment's thought.

All my transitioned friends had childhood dysphoria (both gynephilics and androphilics) although not all childhood dysphorics such as myself fully transition. So I go back and ponder that if early dysphoria can take on sexual energy, why is it that it is able to exist in absence of dysphoria unless as simply pure fetish beginning after formation of sexual identity.

Some gender variant people may have dysphoria but so mild that it was not realized in prepubesence and was merely mistaken for fetish afterwards. But I tend to believe that part of the explanation here lies in the fact that sexuality is so intrinsically tied to the human that it finds its ways to surface under various scenarios.
