    I think it’s more like gender euphoria being a different gender than gender dysphoria being the current gender.

    If you’re fine with your current gender, I don’t think you necessarily qualify for gender dysphoria, which is why I think being trans is more about gender euphoria than gender dysphoria.

      Until this comment, I had no idea that dysphoria was an antonym for euphoria. Yet it makes sense.

    What if I feel that way, but only because of societal factors. And I don’t want periods and all the harassment.

    Does it count as dysphoria if I’m ashamed of being a guy after reading some of the garbage posted by other men in the internet?

      In my opinion it is a good way to start the „Am I actually male, or is it just what everyone told me?” thought. I am not Saying that you cant identify as non cis because you are ashamed about what Nazis (Let’s just call them what they are) make out males to be. But if you actually really 100% (I can’t stress this enough, if you just have a faintest afterthought, just don’t block it with the „I am a male” argument) identify yourself as male, you should not choose a gender you are less comfortable with because there are some bad people there. Bad people are everywhere. Alice weidel and the Braune Lappen are woman too. People who gatekeep being non cis are non cis too. So just identify as the gender you feel best with.

        Good point. I am comfortable with my gender, but sometimes my mind goes to a darker place. Thanks for the words of encouragement, I feel I needed them.
