    gender dysphoria is unique to trans people but not because cis people can’t experience dysphoria – but rather that if you experience gender dysphoria, you have a place somewhere under the trans umbrella.

    I think it is reasonable to define a lot of cis body dsyphoria as gender dysphoria. I think the distinction between some cis body dysphoria and trans gender dysphoria absolutely is in how society categorizes it and not because the experiences are sufficiently distinct to warrant the separation.

    this is actually a really fraught position within the trans community. there are a sizable minority of trans people who report that they do not experience any kind of dysphoria and I think we just have to take them at their word.

    Let me clarify, I meant the distinction between cis people and trans people who experience gender dsyphoria is how and to what degree they experience it, Im not saying all trans people have gender dsyphoria.
