 === Social Dysphoria ===
-Social dysphoria is a discomfort with how one is seen by other people. This can be seen in binary trans people, but is commonly seen in non-binary people, because in most cases there is no way to "pass" as non-binary. Examples include dysphoria caused by being misgendered by strangers, being called by the wrong pronouns, wrong name, or being called "Mr." or "Miss." It can also includes being forced to [[Gender Presentation|present]] as one's [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender at birth]] or being forced to present in a way that would make one more likely to be misgendered.

 === Mind Dysphoria ===
-Mind dysphoria is a discomfort caused when one feels like their thoughts or emotions are at odds with their gender identity. This can include dysphoria caused by misgendered oneself in one's head; this is commonly seen by using the wrong pronouns or name for oneself, or by thinking of one's past self as being a different gender, and possibly feeling disconnected from one's past self because of this. Another example of mind dysphoria would be self doubt about one's gender, or the thoughts that one will never be a ''real'' man/woman/non-binary person.

 Mind dysphoria can also be common in assigned female at birth trans people who feel dysphoria if they react to a situation in a way that is "too female". They might feel dysphoria about feeling emotions, having thoughts that are too "girly", or by crying too easily. This can be exacerbated by one's menstrual cycle.
