Innerphoria is a term for an experience exclusive to system members in which one feels dysphoria, gender dysmorphia, or body dysmorphia when fronting, due to the fact that their body isn't the same sex, gender, race, body size, or even species in some cases. The difference between their fronting body and their innerworld body (or lack thereof) causes them distress, discomfort, and/or self hatred.
Some examples where this may occur includes, but is not limited to...
- A dragon headmate who feels dysmorphic fronting in a human body.
- An intersex headmate who feels dysphoric fronting in a dyadic body.
- A trans-man headmate who feels dysphoric fronting in a müllerian body.
- An headmate who is asian and feels dysmorphic fronting in a white body.
- A conceptive headmate who feels dysphoric or dysmorphic fronting in a human body.
The counterparts to this experience includes inneuphoria, innerdisconnect, outterphoria, outeuphoria, and outterdisconnect.
