I understand where you’re coming from, but I’d say that’s more a gender incongruence vs gender dysphoria. Gender incongruence is feeling as if you are a diffrent gender than the one assigned to you at birth, where dysphoria is a clinically significant distress caused by that incongruencr

That would be gender dysphoria, yes. But not all people experience it. Some trans people use all pronouns, so they wouldn’t get dysphoria from someone using their ‘original’ pronouns. I am a trans man and prefer to live life as a man, but I don’t have dysphoria about my body. I think it’s fine the way it is. I don’t have dysphoria over my body or my past experiences as a woman.

No. being trans is just about not identifying with the gender you were assigned at birth can be for any reason

Like I keep hearing discussion about whether or not someone needs gender dysphoria to be trans but I thought the whole squad was rocking that

OP - ignore #1. Dysphoria is NOT required. It’s common but not every trans person experiences it. Gender is a spectrum! Just like sexuality. No one will be exactly the same. As a trans man, I, personally, only have strong pronoun and top dysphoria, barely any bottom dysphoria. That does make me any less trans than those who do. Don’t be ashamed to ask questions! Questions are the first step to understanding

thats the logical thinking, but unfortunately that’s not what’s mainstream any more
