I’m of two minds about why god would make people like us. Though bear in mind im not at all a believer.
I think about the movie Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Theres a scene where a kid asks the one black guy if god made him black, and why. The response was, “Allah loves wonderous variety.”
On the other hand I think in a well run universe an intelligent species with a genetic binary sex expression would be hard coded to gender expression. Since it isnt I can only conclude that god is lazy and indifferent.
On the other other hand I think dysphoria is a result of social pressure to enforce gender coding on children from birth. And traditional god fearing family structures force it hardest.
Yeah. I imagine if god(s) exist, they’re either psychopathic, or utterly incompetent. But since I’m an atheist, my view is that it’s just “shit happens”.
It’s not that bad, just inconvenient. I do appreciate how it’s given me a unique perspective on many things and helped me figure out things I wouldn’t have otherwise. However, on top of the bigotry that’s only gotten worse since I came out, I also needed to put in a lot of effort to reach the baseline mood that others have by default. The years I spent discovering and figuring out how to deal with my dysphoria severely impacted my academic career. I probably lost half a decade as a result, and most of it was unavoidable, as I really couldn’t have figured things out more quickly.
Wow, memory unlocked of crying so hard and begging God to take away my sinful queerness.
Didn’t work.
If that asshole made us this way, then he wants it for us (probably has a sick sense of humor and enjoys giving us dysphoria)

If God was real, I’d be one of his biggest haters
Someone once asked what I’d do if I met god and I said I’d demand to know what the fuck its problem is.
Well I’m happy to be this way, can’t complain about that part

I bowed to cishet normativity and well that didn’t go well and so here I am straight as a fiddle
