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+.
