It's a seriously bad piece of writing.

I had to stop after reading this:

For Queer people, we may experience a strong feeling of gender dysphoria when we look into a mirror, a feeling of distress caused by our reflection conflicting with our own gender identities. On the other hand, we may experience gender euphoria when looking in a mirror, when how we feel on the inside matches our reflection. 

They don't know what they are talking about. It's not gender dysphoria I suffer when I look in a mirror. It's age dysphoria. (67 today!)

More seriously it's a load of unutterable bollocks.
