Dysphoria

Dysphoria is a commonly used term to refer to gender dysphoria. Dysphoria by itself means a general state of unease and dissatisfaction with life. Gender dysphoria refers to the distress and dissatisfaction felt when ones primary or secondary sex characteristics don't align with ones gender identity, or when one is perceived by others as a gender other than their gender identity.

Gender dysphoria is common in transgender and nonbinary people, but there are many transgender and nonbinary people who don't experience gender dysphoria. Cis people may also struggle with gender dysphoria, as it is not inherently linked with being transgender.
