Relationship Dysmorphia

A condition where someone becomes hyper-focused on minor flaws or negative aspects of their romantic relationship, causing them to lose sight of the overall beauty, strength, and positivity of the connection. This distorted perspective often leads to unnecessary dissatisfaction, conflict, or even a breakup. The most effective remedy is cultivating gratitude and consciously appreciating the positive elements of the partnership.

A political-era condition where government agencies and institutions warp medical or biological reality to satisfy an ideological agenda around gender — even when that distortion damages data, healthcare, or public safety. Coined during the Trump administration backlash over sex, gender, and cancer registry policy. Not (yet) recognized by the DSM-5.

Not about personal identity. It’s about power rewriting reality.

It’s when politics beats pathology and narrative beats anatomy.

Biology only when it’s politically convenient
Data deletion disguised as ‘simplicity’
Medical policy driven by culture war optics
Scientists forced to choose between accuracy and compliance

Related Terms:

Institutional Ideology Brain
Administrative Reality Disorder
Narrative Capture
Policy-Based Delusion

Opposite Of:
Evidence-based medicine.
Example 1:
“The CDC under Trump wiped out gender-diverse cancer data and called it ‘clarity.’ That’s textbook Psychological Gender Dysmorphia.”

Example 2:
“When an administration decides which patients are allowed to exist statistically, you’re not seeing science — you’re seeing Psychological Gender Dysmorphia.”

Example 3:
“This war on ‘woke data’ didn’t make cancer more treatable. It just made some patients invisible. Psychological Gender Dysmorphia in action.”
