Gender Dysphoria

Gender dysphoria is a mental state caused by being born in the wrong body. Transgender and Non-Binary people, as well as every other gender, can experience it. It causes anxiety, depression, and sometimes even suicide. (Despite what others might say, it’s very real and we’re glad you’ve listened to us for this!!)

“Zero looks really upset today,” Tommy said.
“Yeah, it must be their gender dysphoria,” Angela replied. “Their binder got stained so they’re waiting until it’s been washed.”
“Poor Zero, I wish I could do something to help them...”

weaponized dysphoria

When a transgender individual uses their gender dysphoria as an excuse to get what they want or to emotionally manipulate another individual. Weaponized dysphoria is commonly used against parents, friends, other transgender people, and romantic interests. Sometimes weaponized dysphoria can come in the form of putting down another transgender person's appearance to make themselves feel better.

Most transgender people do not use weaponized dysphoria, however the ones that do will negatively impact other transgender people and people's view on transgender people as a whole.

A transgender person is using weaponized dysphoria when they accuse a cisgender person of making them feel dysphoric and ugly because he or she does not want to date them.

A transgender boyfriend telling his transgender girlfriend that she has no boobs and has the squarest jaw he's ever seen is an example of weaponized dysphoria because he is purposefully increasing her dysphoria to lessen his own.

species dysphoria

a feeling that one is in the body of the wrong species

Alyssa: I told the shrink that I feel like a wild animal trapped in a human body, and she said it sounds like classic species dysphoria.
Jacques: I know I was meant to be a dolphin. Why did I end up a sexy human instead?? Species dysphoria sucks.
Jerry: If only I'd been born a bird, I wouldn't have to spend so much money on flying, parachuting, hang-gliding, sky-diving and base-jumping. Damned species dysphoria.

Job Dysphoria

The sinking feeling that ones career has taken a wrong turn and landed you where you don't belong.

In all my other computer jobs, I wore jeans and a polo shirt. In my new position, I'm surrounded by guys dressed in suits out of GQ magazine -- I'm beginning to have a severe case of Job Dysphoria.

Identity Dysphoria

An umbrella term for dysphoria caused by identity incongruence including gender dysphoria, species dysphoria (referring to what is experienced by Therians and Otherkin), and age dysphoria. Contrary to popular belief, identity dysphoria is not exclusive to people with identities that differ from what they were born as or physically are. In theory, anyone can have identity dysphoria if they experience identity incongruence. For instance, if a cis man has gynomastia, he may experience gender dysphoria. However, this is much more rare and the majority of people who experience gender dysphoria are transgender, intersex, and/or double-binary.

My body does not reflect my identity and it causes me identity dysphoria.
