    My first exposure the concept of gender dysphoria came in high-school when we watched a documentary about David Reimer.

    spoiler

    He had a botched circumcision and they decided to raise him as a girl because his penis was mutilated by their barbarism, and it was later as a teen that he understood and asserted his gender identity. He took his own life when he was 38. It was a tragedy and a crime, inflicted on him for basically no reason.
