Well, plenty of men who also happen to be cd’s sacrifice much in other areas of their lives, working in jobs they hate, staying in relationships they don’t want to stay in, living in places they don’t like, giving up hobbies that are too expensive, not executing on impulses or desires all for the greater good of family or other reasons.
For people with gender dysphoria, equating those things above to expressing one’s gender identity is a false equivalency. It’s likely close to impossible for someone without GD to really understand that. And of course not all or maybe not many CD’s have GD.
