Dysphoric Cis Individuals

A dysphoric cis individual (DCI), also known as a Cis Individual Experiencing Dysphoria (CIED) is someone who experiences gender dysphoria yet does not identify as transgender, non-binary, or transsexual for a variety of reasons. These reasons could include, but are not limited to:


 * 1) Not wanted to adhere to the pressure of transitioning, socially and/or medically, or their own mental pressure to transition that they may experience if they adopt the label "trans".
 * 2) Having detransitioned due to reasons, yet still experiencing dysphoria.
 * 3) Feeling as if their dysphoria/euphoria is not intense enough to feel comfortable with the label "trans".
 * 4) Having body dysphoria but no social dysphoria, so feel no need to socially adopt the label "trans".
 * 5) Having an intersex condition that may cause dysphoric feelings, despite being assigned a binary gender they identify with.
 * 6) Feeling as if they should have a certain sex characteristic, but do not.

Dysphoric cis people are not inherently LGBT+.
