6That's pretty much it.

8Some people in the community believe that a person isn't trans unless
9they have dysphoria (this belief is *wrong*). Some trans people are
10perfectly happy in their gender assigned at birth, but they are
11happ**ier** transitioning to a different gender.
12
13Gender dysphoric people can also have gender euphoria.
14
15Not all gender dysphoric people feel like they're in the *wrong body*
16(this is a gatekeeper term which you shouldn't ever use). Some people
17just want to transition socially for instance. Gender is not just about
18your body appearance.
19
20Body dysphoria isn't always the same for every trans person. E.g. not
21every trans person feels distress about their genitalia, but they might
22still feel dysphoria around their breasts or facial hair, or their
23voice, hair, clothing, etc.
24
25Not all trans people identify as men or women, either. See:
26[/nonbinary/](nonbinary.md).

28You should never assume that a person has or does not have gender
29dysphoria, even if they're trans. People are not binary. Everyone is
30different.
