- Having dysmorphia towards ones genitals, causing one to be transsex from it, while still being cisgender.
- Having dysmorphia towards the physical attributes that relates to ones gender, while not identifying with another gender.
- Having dysmorphia that overlaps with dysphoria.
- Having body dysphoria that causes dysmorphia towards gender/sex related attributes.
