money dysmorphia

A sibling of the term “body dysmorphia,” money dysmorphia refers to people who have a distorted view of their own financial well-being and security. It can lead to overspending to compensate for missing out, obsessively checking the balance in their bank accounts, or hoarding wealth and not doing anything with it.

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.

Common Traits:

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.”
