title: Gender Euphoria
x-toc-enable: true
...

That's pretty much it.

Some people in the community believe that a person isn't trans unless
they have dysphoria (this belief is *wrong*). Some trans people are
perfectly happy in their gender assigned at birth, but they are
happ**ier** transitioning to a different gender.

Gender dysphoric people can also have gender euphoria.

Not all gender dysphoric people feel like they're in the *wrong body*
(this is a gatekeeper term which you shouldn't ever use). Some people
just want to transition socially for instance. Gender is not just about
your body appearance.

Body dysphoria isn't always the same for every trans person. E.g. not
every trans person feels distress about their genitalia, but they might
still feel dysphoria around their breasts or facial hair, or their
voice, hair, clothing, etc.

Not all trans people identify as men or women, either. See:
[/nonbinary/](nonbinary.md).

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