Ok please forgive my ignorant cis ass but doesn’t every trans person have dysphoria by definition? If you want people to use they/them pronouns and dislike other ones is that not dysphoria

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

It’s kinda like when you change the paint in your bedroom. You don’t hate the old color, it’s just not for you anymore.
