Between anas and troons - no. Troons do not have dysmorphia. Between anas and trans (there are some, drowned out by the perverts) - yes, same as between anas and the nutters who want to chop a perfectly healthy limb off.I wonder if there's a correlation between the two, anorexics and troons, if the same delusional mechanism is in play. If so, wouldn't it possible at least some of these people could eventually be treated and cured?
It's the same mechanism in all three cases, a perfectly normal function of the mind, and one which virtually everyone will experience at some point in their life when they notice that their mental body map has gotten too far out of whack with reality. Some people (particularly deathfats) never do notice. Your brain dislikes not having an accurate body map and will usually redo it if needed. Sometimes, however, instead of redrawing it's map, it'll alter it's perception of reality. Far as I know, no one still has a clue why.
Most usually it happens with age and normal people give a rueful shrug, grumble about "not being as young as they used to be" then carry on with their lives. When it happens early though, there's not always the same mental resilience to the stark contrast and it can run wild.
