Refuge Occupier Says He Has Gender Dysphoria

By JOHN SEPULVADO • 13 HOURS AGO

... "I suffer from gender dysphoria. And so I’ve had to fight with that for eleven years. You know, it’s weird. I have to deal with it. And you can’t just pump me full of meds to try and cure that," Fry said, "And that’s what the whole mental hospital thing was about. They just tried to pump me full of meds"

He went on to say he felt that the federal judge overseeing his case is biased against letting Fry out of jail, because he says, the judge is concerned about Fry’s mental health

Fry – who has been very open about his mental health struggles before, during, and after the occupation – did not say whether he had been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Most studies show about one percent of people have some level of gender dysphoria.

what is gender dysphoria? From what I saw during the "events: covered online, he has a host of other issues not necessarily related to gender problems. He seems more like a Borderliner where he feels the world owes him something, if not everything, because he doesn't want to do anything but smoke pot and get attention. Not a diagnosis but his participation in that fiasco proves he sure has problems, I wonder if this is a new word he learned while in jail.
