hello! is it only possible to experience dysphoria if ur trans/nb ???? for example; i've always identified as a cis girl and recently i've come to identify as grey-ace but in the past, before i knew about all this gender and orientation stuff, sometimes i would masturbate and after masturbating i'd feel disgusting but i just couldn't help it bc i had a libido and wanted to make the feeling go away. usually i'd be disgusted by my genitals after that and wish i didn't have them. pls tag as lookpls
Anon, you're not alone. Some ace people experience bodily dysphoria unrelated to being transgender. And that's totally okay. I know dysphoria sucks, whether it's trans related or not. But just concentrate on doing things that make you feel good and more comfortable with yourself rather than less! If something brings about dysphoria for you, try to avoid doing it.
(Also just fyi guys, there's more than one type of dysphoria. Bodily, social and mental dysphoria are the three categories I've seen it broken into so far.)
