6 | That's pretty much it. | ||

8 | Some people in the community believe that a person isn't trans unless | ||
9 | they have dysphoria (this belief is *wrong*). Some trans people are | ||
10 | perfectly happy in their gender assigned at birth, but they are | ||
11 | happ**ier** transitioning to a different gender. | ||
12 | |||
13 | Gender dysphoric people can also have gender euphoria. | ||
14 | |||
15 | Not 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 | ||
17 | just want to transition socially for instance. Gender is not just about | ||
18 | your body appearance. | ||
19 | |||
20 | Body dysphoria isn't always the same for every trans person. E.g. not | ||
21 | every trans person feels distress about their genitalia, but they might | ||
22 | still feel dysphoria around their breasts or facial hair, or their | ||
23 | voice, hair, clothing, etc. | ||
24 | |||
25 | Not all trans people identify as men or women, either. See: | ||
26 | [/nonbinary/](nonbinary.md). | ||
27 | |||
28 | You should never assume that a person has or does not have gender | ||
29 | dysphoria, even if they're trans. People are not binary. Everyone is | ||
30 | different. | ||
