    == Dysphoria vs dysmorphia ==
    == Dysphoria vs dysmorphia ==
    Many individuals confuse dysphoria with dysmorphia, however the two are very seperate. One who experiences dysphoria doesn’t always experience dysmorphia, and vice versa.

    Dysphoria is a discomfort in ones sex or assigned gender, while dismorphia is when one feels intense discomfort in their general body (not relating to gender.) Sometimes these experiences may overlap ([[Gender Dysmorphia|gender dysmorphia]],) however they do not always have to.

    == Cisgender Transsex Individuals ==
    Some Cisgender folk identify as Transsex, however, and do transition bodily while still identifying as their AGAB. Some Cisgender Transsex people feel they should be a different sex, due to dysphoria around their sex characteristics.

    It can be under a GNC label, too- while not being Transgender.


    == Is DCI problematic? ==
    == Is DCI problematic? ==
    DCI in of itself is not problematic, so long as it is used in an appropriate manner, and is not used as an excuse of 'transition being unneeded.' This term is especially useful for intersex individuals who develop sex characteristics that do not align with their assigned gender, thus causing dysphoria.

    The only time this term is innappropriate in use is if one were to use this term to describe [[transine]] individuals or as a way to claim a person isn't 'actually trans' or as justification to remove rights for medical transition.
