It can manifest as distress, depression, anxiety, restlessness or unease, a sense of gender fragmentation or chaos resulting by be in a in a dark-atmosphere or outside at night. It's different from moondysphoria even if they can overlap.

Having noxdysphoria is different from simply disliking been in a dark-atmosphere since it is a distress, fragmentation or an unease related to one's gender identity. Furthermore someone can have noxdysphoria and still like dark-atmospheres and night, even if it causes gender dysphoria. This type of dysphoria is not exclusive to a specific gender, as any gender identity can experience it.
Examples:
• A girlflux after exposed to a dark-atmosphere, can feel a deep identitary infrigement, resulting in a deep psychological distress and a energy loss.
• A neutrois after or being outside at night, can experience a violent gender fragmentation and anxiety.
The eurphoric equivalent of noxdysphoria is noxeuphoria.
