Me: "I can't stay at yours for an extra day; I don't have any clean clothes to wear".
Friend: "Well, just wear the stuff you wore yesterday; no one will notice".
Me: "I can't! I have IVB dysphoria / Idemvestibis dysphoria......it means I literally cannot make myself wear something twice in a row if it's been more than 12 hours since taking that item of clothing off. It feels like the clothing is contaminated / tainted. I just can't do it! Even if I CAN wear the same jeans, my brain just will NOT let me wear the same top. I'm sorry, I just can't do it"
