== Gender Dysmorphia vs. Gender Dysphoria ==
Gender dysphoria specifically describes the feeling of discomfort, distress, or self hatred caused by a disconnect between one's actual gender and the gender one appears as. Additionally, dysphoria does not have to be directed at a perceived physical flaw, it can also be caused by non-physical things, such as misgendering.
Gender dysmorphia is a specific subcategory of body dysmorphic disorder, specifically for when one focuses on parts of one's body associated with gender and/or sex. Among transgender people dysphoria and dysmorphia can greatly overlap and gender dysmorphia can lead to feeling dysphoria about that part of one's body. Additionally, gender dysmorphia can be felt by [[cisgender]] people. For example, a cisgender woman may have dysmorphia towards their breasts, but still identifies as cisgender female. One may have dysmorphia towards the physical attributes that relates to ones gender, while not identifying as another gender.
